Who, Me?
My prayers this morning included this, "God, please don't let me leave any lasting scars with my attitude today." OK ladies, can you guess what time it is? LOL So far so good, they all seem to be avoiding me, so that might be the reason no one has cryed yet. They've learned well. Have a great day everyone. Happy 4th of July
I do hope everyone is having a happy and safe 4th of July. Thank God for all you have today, including your freedom. I am full from bar b que and am about to go for a swim in the neighbor's pool. Have fun ......Blessings.........Kitty
The History of Aprons
Aprons A new old cookbook, with gingerbread recipeAnother garage sale find that I can actually get some good use out of, lol. I found this Southern Living Homemaker's Cookbook of Cakes, copyright 1971. It has every kind of cake recipe you can need in it. I love to bake cakes, all kinds. I was looking through it yesterday afternoon I noticed that it a few recipes for gingerbread. My hubby loves gingerbread for breakfast. So this morning I got up and made him one. It wasn't untill the cake was in the oven baking that I remembered that just yesterday morning he was diagnosed with diabetes. I swear, I would forget my head on the pillow in the morning if God hadn't sewen it to my neck, lol. The recipe called for cake flour, which I had. Does anyone else use Swans Cake flour? I made a coconut cake Sunday using which was delish, but I find it comes out like a pound cake. Does anyone know how to thin it out a bit for normal cake consistency? "Hot Water Gingerbread" 2 cups of sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon gound nutmeg 2 teaspoons gound ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspooon ground cinnamom 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup boiling water 1/2 cup molasses Sift all dry ingredients together three times. Cream shortening and brown sugar. Add eggs and beat thoroughly. Add dry mixture in and continue to mix well. Finally add the boiling water and the molasses to the batter and mix well. The batter will be rather thin. Bake in greased 8 x 11 inch pan at 350* for 30 minutes. My dh loves to eat it hot out of the oven dripping with butter. I have to say, it's good like that, LOL. Both of us felt guilty for eating it, but soon got over it. I am use to not eating things like that myself, but not use to not being able to cook it for him. This will take some getting use too, cuz I love to bake things all the time. Oh well, it is what it is now. Enjoy! JulyI'm planning on taking a 6 week class at church on dreams and visions. I'm writing down dreams I have if I remember them. God works through dreams I know. Christian Dream Interpretation There's no use to let the new agers deal with such things, because God is the One who put us together to be dreamers and have visions. Joseph's dreams ![]() Uncle WayneFriends,It is with great sadness and grief that I write these words...
My Uncle Wayne passed away this morning. They removed the ventilator after my Aunt Nina told the Dr not to operate to remove the damaged brain areas. This would have most likely left him in some sort of vegetative state. That was one thing Uncle Wayne adamantly did not want to happen to him. He struggled to breathe and then just passed away....
Graciously and most generously, my Dad and brother Todd are coming here to pick the children and me up...they are leaving tomorrow and will be here Thursday am. We'll leave soon after to be on the road as little as
possible for the 4th....It's hard to know that we have to be picked up like this...I wish life was a bit different....but I can't dwell on what is not and just accept what is. I did check into car rentals, but with it being a holiday weekend, there's not alot left in our town. The only thing that would carry all five of us is a 4 door truck..at a cost of almost $300, plus the gas to get there. I did check into flights...how outrageous at a cost of almost $700 PER PERSON! Ouch!
Please keep us in prayer as we travel. And keep Toby in prayer as he holds down the fort here at home. It's hard to be apart during times like these. And keep my Aunt Nina and folks in prayer. My Mom has now lost both of her siblings. As much as my heart is hurting, I can't imagine the pain in their hearts.
Thank you for your prayers and words of comfort. I dearly appreciate them!!!
Not so great phone call...My SIL just called...the Dr said his best hope for survival was to remove the damaged part of his brain. My Aunt Nina said he wouldn't want that...and we all know he truly wouldn't want that. So, they are now doing only comfort measures and do not expect him to recover. Thomas and I are fixing to leave for town. His braces' appmt is at 1 and we have several other stops to make beforehand. One of those stops will be to the thrift store to hopefully find some clothes for me. I fear I will be making a trip to NY soon and need something better than my stained house clothes... what I accomplished yesterday - garlic/chive salad recipeYesterday I took Molly on a walk around the block then started painting the plant table made by my better half 10 or 12 years ago - it's the perfect height to work with plants. It is now in the rec room by the windows.![]() After that I started cleaning up a corner of the family room. Here is a picture the night before: (ds playing opposum)
![]() And here it is finished:
![]() I dedicated the top shelves to my mom who is in Heaven and also my sister in the other photo is in Heaven.
![]() ![]() ![]() I hope you don't mind. ![]() ![]() Today so far I've accomplished taking Molly around the block, doing my Bible study in Matthew 27, putting stuff in the bread machine - love that home baked bread without the work of mixing & kneading.
![]() The benefits of garlic are widely known. Garlic and chive flowers also add a strong savory aroma, while the pansy blossoms add a touch of blue. 2 large tomatoes, sliced 1/2 cup (125 mL) chives, chopped finely 1 Tbsp (15 mL) flax seed oil 1 Tbsp (15 mL) apple cider vinegar salt and pepper to taste flowers for garnish: garlic, chive, pansy Arrange sliced tomatoes on a plate and sprinkle with chives. Drizzle with flax seed oil and apple cider vinegar. Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Garnish with flowers. A busy day ahead
I am going to be a bit busy today, we have many errands to run. First off, I made appointments for both my dh and I for our bloodwork and checkups. We both need to get our cholesterol and my blood sugar checked. So I figured since he is on his vacation this week, we'd kill that bird. After that I have to stop by the lawyers office, who is handling mom's interdiction case, and sign some papers and drop off a key to him. That ball should start rolling soon. I think my dh wants to stop and have lunch in town while it's just the two of us, how nice of him, lol. Then I have to run to the feed store and get lay crumble and corn for the chickens. Also swing by my son's house for a minute, then back home to wait for the Hospice folks to call or come by about mom. I will have a favor to ask about mom, but I will get into more detail about that later when I know more about her condition. Then once home, do my regular house chores, oh buy wait, DH is cooking this week. HA HA Well have a blessed day everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE: OK, we are back home now. All my blood work was good as far as my diabetes was concerned. I do however have a touch of high blood preasure now. So on the meds I go. Thank God the meds he prescribed was on the $4 list at walmart. And the hubby, who went for his BP check up, which was great, now has a touch of diabetes, LOL. So he was put on a diabetic diet, which he is not too happy about. So now I am just waiting for the Hospice nurse to arrive which will be soon. Will update on that situation later. He called....Oh, thankfully, my brother just called. The brain pressure number is high....he's been between 12 and 20. He shot up to over 100, has gone down to 50 and back up again. From what I understand, this number is the pressure in his brain, the lower the better. Also, his blood pressure is over 200 over something...my brother wasn't sure. Just pray.....please pray..... { Last Page } { Page 1 of 5 } { Next Page } |
