<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their story:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e2328; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the summer of 2004, designer Hannah Garrison was focused on making jewelry from recycled and found objects. Her island studio was also a gathering place for all kinds of people, especially musicians. Naturally, she began to pick up the refuse they left, and transform it into art – specifically, <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">guitar string bracelets</em></strong> were born. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e2328; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e2328; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Her initial designs were gifted to and purchased by the girlfriends, wives and families of local musicians. After the initial inventory sold, Garrison moved to Mexico to work for a designer there, and the guitar string bracelet idea lay dormant for a f</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">ew years. </span>Then one day, back in NYC, she stumbled upon a Craigslist ad for someone who did interesting things with guitar strings. All of her ideas came tumbling back. Alongside the ex-president and publisher of Relix Magazine, the Wear Your Music concept was born: Bracelets made from guitar strings used and donated by acclaimed musicians with the profits going to the charities of their choosing.</span></div>

This years trip to Haiti was a little different the in the past. First off there were 27 of us so that made for a pretty full house. Secondly instead of building housing we were going to build a play ground at the school. I will be perfectly honest I wasn't too thrilled with this project. Not that the children didn't need this but there are so many other needs that I felt it wasn't important. But, God, of course knew better than I and the end result was blessings all around. </div>

Do you see those smiles? Too bad you weren't there to hear the laughter and all the fun they were having. It was contagious. </div>

God's ways are much bigger than anything we can imagine. I should have known he would use a playground for His glory. </div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Once again my trip to Haiti has come and gone. But, my emotions are still running high. When I first arrived this year I felt so comfortable...that feeling you get when you finally go home. Almost too comfortable. Then I remembered that I had prayed that I never become this comfortable because I don't want to forget why we go. We don't go to just build housing or bring presents for the Haitians. We don't go to feel good about ourselves or put another notch in our missions belt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We go because of this:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The well is directly behind these two children</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This area is lower than the alley that you walk on to get to this living area called Bethel. So, when it rains this fills like up a bowl with trash & waste water. Meaning the well has been completely contaminated. There are buckets next to the well attached to rope so someone is using this water for something.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bethel I & II will be the next project we are involved in. It will be slow going because there is demolition as well as rebuilding. To add to it there are families living in these homes that we can't displace. So, the work has to be done one living space at a time. Once complete these people will have a beautiful place to live. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But, what about the rest? MANY people live like this in Haiti, many people go days without food, fresh water is hard to come by, jobs are hard to come by. I pray for the Haitians and I pray for God to show us what else we can for these people. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Why Haiti? Why not right in my own back yard? Because God has placed this nation on my heart. He has given me a passion for these people. The poorest American has it better than the people of Haiti. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While driving around the city of Cap-Haitian you get to see a lot of things. People rummaging in garbage for food remnants. And, Haiti's garbage isn't like our garbage. America's garbage is 'clean' compared to the piles of garbage laying in waste water that you have in Haiti.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A friend used the quote above to help encourage me! I love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first time I went to Haiti the sites and sounds were overwhelming. There are people, motorcycles & other vehicles all over. People talking, laughing, yelling! Horns blowing on either side of you as they are signaling they are passing you. The smells of open sewer and garbage hit you like nothing you ever experience in America. The sun is usually shining and the heat of the day hits you, which being from Iowa and it is January, you will get NO complaints from me! It was all foreign and new to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second time I went everything was a bit more familiar but, still foreign and somewhat new.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This third visit...it was like coming home. The sun, the heat, the sounds and the dirt and dust.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As things become more familiar I pray I don't get complacent and become numb to my surroundings. I need to remind myself that behind the smiles of the Haitians there is poverty. Extreme poverty. Most of them have nothing and others have less than nothing. Jobs are almost non existent.<br />

When you drive around the city you see lots of people heading in all different directions. I am not sure where they always have to go but, go they do. As you look you see all the trash and sewage. It is heart breaking. You see people taking sponge baths outside of their homes. Laundry, that has all be washed by hand, is hanging from anything standing still, from roof tops to cactuses. <br />
<br />
The homes are pieced together with whatever they can find.<br />

Some people keep mission work in a tidy little box and feel it is worthless if it doesn't fit in the box they have created for it. But, there are MANY ways to serve the Haitians. Applying a new coat a paint may seem like silly work for a missions team but, when you see the joy in the ladies eyes because they now have a place to call home they can feel proud about...it doesn't seem so silly! Repairing bunk beds at a church camp might not seem so mission minded but, the day that the young Haitians come to that camp and have a fabulous time near the ocean doing something besides playing in the dirt...so worth it! Mission work can even be done from home. Raise some money for toiletry supplies. A friend of mine crochets and she is going to crochet dish cloths that we can take down and pass out to the ladies. Save money to give to the church so they can buy food for the homeless and starving people. Send gently used clothing and shoes. For a child to attend school it costs about $30 American dollars which, I believe, includes their uniform..support a child or two! When the average Haitian wage for a family is $2 a day someone taking are of the school fee will go along way for that family.<br />

I have just returned from a week long mission trip to Cap-Haitian, Haiti. My emotions are high, I feel like I could just break down and cry. I missed my family and I am glad to be back home with them. But, on my drive to work today I wondered what my purpose for this day was. I go to my job and I sit and do my work. It isn't life altering work, just pushing paper.<br />
<br />
Last week I was helping to fix a leaking roof on the Pastor's home so that other people could sleep in that room and serve our Lord in Haiti. Last week I saw the poorest people in the Western hemisphere go through their days with smiles on the faces because we were there working side by side with them to make repairs they don't have the means to do on their own. I am not always skilled at the jobs that need done but, I am able to hand tools & supplies where they are needed or learn how to do a new skill to help finish a job. I helped paint people's homes so that they feel a sense of pride in their tiny little homes. I was able to share a smile, a hug, hold a hand in solidarity with people who truly appreciate the work we were doing.<br />
<br />
Now, I am back in the States with all my 1st world problems and it makes me sick. I would happily be right back there without hot water and intermittent electricity, no social media, no coffee shops on each corner, just as long as there are jobs to do to help others. People get after me for not helping more in the States. It is something you will never understand until you go to a 3rd world country. Even the poorest American has it better than these people.<br />
<br />
I keep trying to put into words all that is weighing on my heart. To try and explain the inner turmoil I am experiencing. When I try to tell people the ideas I have they just sit quietly, probably thinking I am crazy for having these thoughts or they say negative things about why it just won't work. I don't understand why these things won't work. I am a person who would rather be doing than talking about doing. To make plans, set goals and get busy working on them. I am at a loss as where to start with this.<br />
<br />
I believe God has called me to serve Him. Whether it is locally or abroad I feel Him pulling me to help others. Is what I am doing enough? I don't think so. I am going to start with prayer. I am going to search my heart and find out where God wants me to start. I just don't think one week a year is enough.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">On June 30th I became a grandma or Gigi as I like to be called. It was a day of great joy for our family. Then almost a month later I received an email from our church that described a different outcome of a day that should have been the same joyfilled day as we had. For whatever reason God called this little girl home. We know that God's way is perfect but, that doesn't do anything to ease the pain we experience. My heart goes out to this family. I am sharing the mother's post (with permission) about her sweet angel in the hopes that it will help others dealing with the same heartache.</span><br />

<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Our lives forever changed two weeks ago. On July 25th, while visiting my family in Iowa, I wasn't feeling our normally very active baby moving. We then went into the hospital as a precaution, where we found out our baby of 33 weeks did not have a heartbeat. After being induced into labor, we delivered Rayna Harlan Lindberg on July 27th at 9:26 am. She was 4 lbs 7 oz and 17 ¾” long... tall like her daddy and as beautiful as her mommy (according to Nick).</span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">She is named Rayna bec<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ause she was a ray of sunshine in our lives. Before we went to the hospital, there was an amazing sunset on the farm. Looking back, we think this was Rayna saying goodbye to us. Now, every time we see the sunset, we think of our Rayna. She was born in Harlan, IA, at the same hospital I was born in. We were blessed to have so many family members nearby, and many small town (and small world) touches made it clear that if our little girl had to die, we were in the right place... hence her middle name.</span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">The past couple weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions, each day bringing its own set of challenges. Nick and I are parents now, and we will always treasure the time we had with Rayna, and we want to talk about our daughter. We are also aware we are not alone in having lost our baby before she could take her first breath, that 1 in every 160 pregnancies ends in stillbirth. We hope sharing our story can be of help to others.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Our ask of you is:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">1) Pray for the two of us and our families so we may find comfort in the midst of our grief</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">2) If you know someone who also has gone through this, give them a hug, send them an email, say a prayer for them... you never know how much you might be helping</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">3) Take pictures of sunsets and send them to us or post them using <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/raynasunset?source=feed_text&story_id=766501608200" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><span aria-label="hashtag" class="_58cl" style="color: #627aad;">#</span><span class="_58cm">raynasunset</span></a> to help us remember Rayna's brightness.</span><br />

<br />
I have been in a rut with my weight loss. I am eating better, working out and walking with NO results! Ok, some results but the scale isn't moving! VERY frustrating. I did some research and found that 'rebooting' your system may help. I found the "GM" diet and again did more research. It is extreme but at the same time I found a lot of good info about this program.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I am here at 3:30 on the first day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have eaten cantaloupe, strawberries, cherries, grapes and a nectarine. And, so far drank tons of water. Luckily the bathroom at work is downstairs so I have gotten in A LOT of extra steps just running back and forth to the restroom!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always hit a wall about this time and today is no exception. I only had a bit of coffee this morning instead of the pot I usually drink so that may have something to do with it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you don't know what the GM diet is GOOGLE it or search it on PINTEREST. Or read my interpretation below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Day 1</u> consists of ONLY fruits, no bananas and tons of water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Day 2</u> consists of a baked potato w/ 1 pat of butter in the morning and then veggies for the rest of the day, again with tons of water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Day 3</u> veggies and fruits all you can eat and WATER<br />
<u>Day 4</u> up to 6 bananas and 3 cups of milk and super soup (recipe to follow)<br />
<u>Day 5</u> beef & tomatoes & soup<br />
<u>Day 6</u> 20oz beef & veggies<br />
<u>Day 7</u> Veggies, rice & fruit juice<br />
<br />

<br />
Day 1<br />
So, as I said above day one was all fruit. I ate and ate and felt guilty for all that I ate! By evening I was really wanting a hot meal instead of cool fruit. So, I got creative and grilled a nectarine. I brushed it w/ some honey, figuring natural sugar is natural sugar! Right? I did consume about 12.5 cups of water this day.<br />
<br />
They say if you eat mostly watermelon & cantaloupe for the first day you can lose 3#. Well, I can't stand watermelon so that wasn't an option for me! But, maybe you can do that!<br />
<br />
DAY 2<br />
I weighed in and didn't lose any. But, I wasn't sure that I would anyway.<br />
This day was hard for me. I am not sure if I just wasn't creative enough or if it was the fact that my daughter was in labor for my first grandchild! :)<br />
This day started w/ a baked potato and 1 pat of butter. I was excited for this...but, it turns out, I am not a baked potato for breakfast person. I LOVE baked potatoes but starting my day out this way wasn't good for me. I ate as much I could tho.<br />
I packed zucchini and carrots. And, I sauteed some cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, zucchini, carrots in some water and added Mrs. Dash for flavor. DELISH!<br />
I was really struggling for things to eat on the go today. I went to the store and found low sodium V-8. It was surprisingly satisfying. I know tomatoes are a fruit but I figured it was loaded w/ other veggies and would be fine. I drank two of these today.<br />
I really didn't eat a lot this day because I was in and our of the hospital all day. But, did consume another 12.5 cups of water.<br />
<br />
Day 3<br />
I weighted in...down 3#!! woot woot<br />
Today is all the veggies & fruit!<br />
I had fruit for breakfast.<br />
For lunch I had a meeting and was worried I wouldn't find anything I could eat. Luckily it was a locally owned organic eatery. I ordered a kale salad and it had strawberries & grape tomatoes. I used raspberry vinegar for dressing. This was delicious! I would have preferred some other greens in w/ the kale but I ate this was full.<br />
I snacked on raw fruits and veggies.<br />
For supper I had more of the sauteed veggies from yesterday. Mrs. Dash is definitely a good friend during this diet!<br />
<br />
Day 4<br />
Bananas & Milk! I am not a huge fan of either so I was dreading this day! BUT...I sliced up the bananas and put them in the milk for breakfast and pretended I was eating cereal! Not to bad. Then I had a thought...I can have black coffee AND milk...coffee+milk=latte. So, I frothed a 1/2 a cup of milk made some strong black coffee and boy was this a treat!!<br />
Today you can also consume some of the super soup.<br />
I wasn't able to eat 6 bananas but I did eat 4 (2 in the milk) and had two of my lattes and 1 bowl of soup. I was surprisingly full this day!<br />
Also 12.5 c of water.<br />
<br />
Day 5<br />
Weighed in...down 5#!!!<br />
Today is BEEF & tomatoes. BE CAREFUL if you have acid reflux. I ate a lean burger for breakfast. I had a steak and 3 tomatoes for lunch!! OUCH! I was in so much pain! I drank a lot of water before and after to try and reduce the acid...but it didn't work! You can eat soup this day and I read that watermelons can take the place of the tomato...but, remember I don't like watermelon!!! Just be cautious! I had another lean burger for super. More water this day!!<br />
<br />
Day 6<br />
Down 6#!!!<br />
My mom was in town and we did get a latte at my friends coffee shop. But, only two shots of espresso and milk in the smallest cup...NO SUGAR!!<br />
All the beef you want and veggies! Veggies for breakfast. We went out for lunch so I had a salad w/ vinegar and oil dressing. And chicken breast. (I read that you could substitute chicken for the beef)<br />
Lean burger w/ broccoli for supper.<br />
I have to admit, I cheated!! I needed something sweet so bad! I stopped and bought milk duds and ate 10! It was so satisfying! :)<br />
12.5 cups of water<br />
<br />
Day 7<br />
HOME STRETCH<br />
No weight change this morning.<br />
Today is one cup of brown rice, veggies and fruit juice. I also read you could eat fruit. So, that is probably up to you. I started out w/ 100% orange mango juice and a cup of black coffee. Drank mostly fruit juice this day but, still a lot of water. Had a salad w/ vinegar and oil for lunch.<br />
Made a kind of fried brown rice w/ veggies for supper.<br />
At the end of this day my whole family made ice cream sundaes! I caved...I ate one too! :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Day 8<br />
I weighed in just to see and still down the 6#. So, i feel this was a success for me. Even tho I did a few things differently than I read about it worked for me. I didn't ever really feel hungry. I didn't feel exhausted during this week (and it was a busy week around here)<br />
<br />
<u>Things I learned about myself and my eating:</u><br />
I don't need to drink pop.<br />
I can drink more water than I ever thought I could :)<br />
I do much better with a structured meal plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>SOUPER SOUP RECIPE</u><br />
<br />
64 oz water<br />
2 pkg onion soup mix<br />
Whole head of cabbage, chopped<br />
6 green onions<br />
1 lg white onion<br />
any veggies you want, except potatoes or corn<br />
fresh garlic<br />
herbs & spices of your choosing<br />
<br />
I put everything in a soup pot and brought it all to a boil, reduced the heat, covered it and cooked for about 45min.<br />
It is my understanding that you can consume this soup any day of the diet. I only did it days 4-7.<br />
I also found recipes that added tomatoes so you might try that.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is recommended to wait 3-7 days before doing this same plan again. I will not have to time try it a 2nd time this month. Too many trips and overnight guests.<br />
<br />
*****This is only information. I am not saying anyone should do this diet. I am not professing that I know anything about nutrition. I don't need to hear any negatives about trying something like this, you aren't my mother! :) I did this for me and no one else. If you don't like the info here click the X in the top right hand corner. If you have tired this diet, please, share your stories in the comments.<br />
I would LOVE to hear your experiences! If you have any questions post them in the comments as well.<br />

I have been diligent about counting my calories this year. One thing I have avoided is pizza! Oh, that cheesy goodness, loaded with veggies and sauce. I have tried alternatives that just didn't make the cut! Until I found the Flatout Rosemary & Olive Oil pizza crusts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These crusts are only 120 each! </div>

The photo below is of my work gloves after the week of work in Cap-Haitian, Haiti. The ladies painted the outside walls, windows and trim of the current living quarters while the men started constructing a new two story living quarters that would also house toilets and showers. It was a week of hard work, fellowship, meeting new people and serving my God who covers me with so many blessings.</div>

I have so much that I want to share about this trip. I will try to keep on topic but I do tend to ramble. </div>

You can't imagine how poor these people are. Everything is a luxury to them. While we were painting we would find little things like razor blades, sewing needles, rubber gloves and even q-tips. These things were hidden in between blocks and cracks in the building. They hide them so no one else finds them and because they don't have more to replace them. Things we take for granted and throw away such as disposable paint trays or even paint rollers, they would take them out of the trash and clean them. They do not understand our wastefulness. I would see them look through the trash and shake their heads wondering why these crazy Americans are throwing so much away. We spilled some paint on the 2nd floor near the outdoor 'kitchens'. Some paint spilled on one of outdoor cooking grills. We were trying to clean up the floor as best we could and I looked over and two ladies were trying to clean the paint off of the grill...they were using a wrapper from some type of food item, something we would have thrown away. I gave her one of our paint rags and she looked so grateful. Later we saw that rag in her laundry basket! As silly as it sounds, it made me happy to see she would continue to use that...probably until it falls completely apart. </div>

One of the days must have been wash day! There was laundry hanging on anything that stood still. The most heart breaking was all the laundry laying on rusted sheet metal roofs. Not only did they have to wash by hand but then they didn't even have a line to dry them on. The same day was also bath day for many. I don't know this for a fact but I wondered if the same water was used for bath and washing clothes. I was painting on the 3rd floor and could see down behind one of the homes. There was an older man bathing outside. He was standing there in only his underwear which were much too large and very worn. I felt so bad that he had to be outside to bathe where all of the people in the upper levels of housing could see him. He wasn't the only one. I could see many people bathing outside. Luckily it is warm in Haiti and yes, it is good that they do have some water to wash. But, how would you like to bathe outside? I surely wouldn't want to.</div>

Below are photos of people we encountered during our stay in Cap-Haitian. Some I met last year, some I just met this year. What a blessing to serve God by helping those who need it. </div>

I remember shoe-less feet and I have so many pair. The children had no toys but still they had smiles. We drove or walked in areas of Cap Haitian that were so poor. Trash in the streets, children playing in or near these piles. You see things in the news and read or hear about how bad things are around the world but until you see it for yourself you will never 'get it'. I thought I understood. But, when I saw it first hand it made me realize just how spoiled I am. </span></span></span></div>

This was exactly what I was looking for. I LOVE the choice of one or two day spreads to organize your day! She has given you the option to just print the whole planner or print just the pages you need. I love her idea of having it all bound with a spiral binding. </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">GRRR!! I hate when this happens!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here is how to fix this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">Repair stainless steel scoop</span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">1. Take a pair of pliers and bend the little keeper metal at the</span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">bottom of the handle back just far enough so you can adjust the </span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">ratchet.</span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">This is the piece at the very bottom that keeps the ratchet piece </span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">from coming out.</span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">2. Then you move the ratchet piece (with the teeth) off of the </span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">ratchet wheel to the place where the medal swing inside the scoop is back </span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">into position.</span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">3. Once there you have to bend the keeper back into place. You want </span><br style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;">to get it as snug as you can so that it doesn't come out of alignment again.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: #e8e4c3; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This was taken from the pampered chef question and answers. I am not brilliant enough to figure this out on my own!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
