April 3, 2016 (Scott) Everett finished his mission papers and has an interview with Bishop Tate later today. He took 160 lbs. of Science Surplus scraps to recycling and got $16 for it. He also recycled some electronics. Mindy had a ballroom dance performance at PG Junior High. T and Su were supposed to have a track meet, but it was called off because of weather. For April Fools', Mindy put glue on the seats of a few obnoxious boys at school. Camille was sick this week and missed school on M, T, and W. She's learning "It's a Hard-Knock Life," for the school dance festival. T says he enjoys having friends on the track team. Garrett's car has a blown head gasket.

 A few weeks ago, I noticed some broccoli sprouts videos showing up in my suggested YouTube videos. I watched a few and realized this looked like something I could do pretty easily without much effort. So I ordered the beginner's kit on Amazon that comes from True Leaf Market: It came with 4 oz. of seeds (organic, non-GMO), a stainless steel lid with a mesh insert (shouldn't rust), a "stand" that holds the jar up at an angle so it drains really well, and instructions. I got started right away since it was very easy. The first step is to soak 2 Tbsp. seeds in your jar for 4-6 hours. I just used regular cold tap water. Then you drain the seeds using your mesh lid and prop it up on the stand upside down. 1 day later, not looking that different: Day 2: Day 3: Here is what they look like on Day 5: I decided they looked mostly done at that point so I put them in a container and put them in the fridge. I have been using them in salads, smoothies, and on avocado toast so far....

 Twenty years ago, our family was in Germany for a year and during that time, we took a trip to a famous medieval town called Rothenburg during a school break. The school break was at the end of February, right after Fasching which is a week of celebration before Lent (like Carnival). Sadly, one of the gaps in our written family history is during the year we spent in Germany. But we have pictures! During Fasching, Susanna and Talmage went to kindergarten (more like preschool) and got their faces painted. The next week was a school break so we took off for Rothenburg which had lots of demos of medieval punishments: One of Garrett's favorite memories of this trip is going to a restaurant and getting a roasted half chicken all to himself. He was very fond of chicken. This was part of the wall going around the city: More city wall: At our hotel where Mindy practiced her walking which she had just started: The next day, we visited a children's museum (perhaps in Fulda) which everyon...
