The smell of Turkey...Oh yeah... some of you know what I mean, others don't so to inform you, it's smelly and nasty. There are so many Turkey farms around the Sanpete Valley that, it just smells. An Ephraim Native will know what it is when a visitor asks what that stinkin smell is! You also soon get so accustomed to that smell that it doesn't phase you any more...

When you say you're going up North.... Up north as in Salt Lake or Provo or something like that. It's always up north for us Sanpete-ians. Usually Wal-Mart is the cool hang out, so we go 'Up North.'

It gets FREEZING COLD and BLASTED HOT really fast. Right now, we're all freezing our butts off.. At least I know I am.

10 Random musings of a...College student

1...I have yet to figure out what X is equal....Help me out man!!!!

2...Oprah is always the best!! No matter what...

This was a tribute to a family that had Trisomy 18. It was really touching. It just goes and has the kid's parent's writing him letters for each day of his life...until it reaches his birth of 99 days. On his funeral...they release 99 balloons to represent each day that he was alive. It's such a good way to look at life, and living it to the fullest.


3...Certain books are good to read only once...Twilight...That's a three, maybe four time read...I'll read it all the time, even later when I'm married...They'll be an added collection to my books later on in life.

4...Salt and Vineagar Chips. What makes them salty? The Vineagar, or the Salt????
5...Black, or Pink???
6...Why does it haveta smell like Turkeys in Ephraim?
