Yesterday I 'Googled' Mother Goose out of curiosity. I found that John Newbery was the first person to compile a 'book' of children's stories and poems (many of them 'Mother Goose rhymes') in the mid 1700's. Because of his contribution to literature, the 'Newbery Award' was named after him.
We had a Branch picnic today. We went to a park not too far from the airport. The planes don't fly over that way very much. It was like being a little forest. We had hot dogs (thinner, longer and much more flavorful than American hot dogs) and bread on a stick. Most people that camp know that you can wrap bread dough around the tip of a stick and cook it over coals. It was a whole wheat bread and very tasty. The Danes filled the hole with cheese (like cream cheese) and jam. So Good! One of the sisters brought a potato salad like my Grandma Sarah Tuttle used to make. I am getting the recipe. It has always been my favorite. (You use cucumber instead of pickles in it).
We rode the Metro and the bus to get there. One of the counselors in the Relief Society got on with us - Anna. We had a marvelous visit with her. We also got a bit lost and since she is Danish, she got us 'found' again. All in all, aside from the slight pinkening of my face from a sunburn - it was a wonderful day.

Since Andy and I don't like marshmallows a whole lot, we actually keep large dowels in our camping gear so we can make those little bread bowls. Andy calls them "woofums". Not sure why. We use biscuit dough and fill ours with jam or pie filling.
It sounds like you have an enjoyable ward.
We do have a wonderful little Branch. Such good people - as always - but it is so small there is a real struggle to keep things manned. It always works though.
