I Love Jackson!

No, not the Texas born actor, Jackson Hurst (@jaxhurst), best know for his role as Grayson Kent in Drop Dead Diva. I will admit, at 45 he’s not a bad piece of eye candy. But he’s not the Jackson I’m in love with.

My Inheritance

I’ve spent the better part of this morning doing all sorts of stuff to make room for my inheritance. While I could tell you about the wonderful things I’ve received, I think it would be best to just share the pictures.

It’s five o’clock in the morning. The first hint of the golden slivers of a new day begin to stretch across the sky as the world slowly wakes. Hello Monday. It’s been a long, sleepless night for me. How ’bout you?

Now That’s Funny!

People are so funny. As we counted down to our “Sail Away” day, Hubby and I kicked things into high gear. Watched what we ate, excersized more and went clothes shopping. A Cruise Vacation meant putting our best foot forward for a bunch of strangers we’d never see again.

Looking Back While Moving Ahead

We’ve looked back at the most popular shares in a particular year. We’ve looked back at the least popular shares of the prior year. This time around, I thought it would be fun to look back at the prior year and see what hit the mark in a particular month no matter when that post first appeared.

Tis That Time of Year

Happy Saturday! Today is going to be a most interesting day. Hubby’s company is participating in our town’s Christmas Parade. They are decorating a flatbed truck, some of the employees will be riding on the truck, others walking along side, all waving at the crowd waiting for Santa.

A Thanksgiving Prayer of Service

Father all-powerful, Your gifts of love are countless and Your goodness infinite. On this Thanksgiving Day we come before You with gratitude for Your kindness.

Open our hearts fully that we may see the needs of others and share in Your gift of loving service.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.


Alleluia, alleluia.
In all circumstances, give thanks,
for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Alleluia, alleluia.

Making Biscuits Rise and Shine!

Good Morning All! Hope you had a restful sleep and are ready to embrace yet another glorious day! Today I really don’t have a recipe to share. It’s more a technique thing.

Up Date

I am relived to say that my time to serve on a jury is up. All it took was a phone call late in the evening the night before I was to report. The automated service said “We have all the jurors needed at this time. We thank you for your service and you are dismissed”. Guess it pays to procrastinate.

Thanks for the Likes

Today I was notified that I had set a personal record – most likes in a day. That’s great, or at least it should be, right?

The Power of Prayer

This is going to be a very long read, so before you begin, I suggest you grab a cup of coffee and find a comfy chair. It’s a tapestry, and those take a while to unfold. Ready? Great.

An Amazing Eye

Call me a proud grandma if you want to, I won’t mind. Recently we took a mini-three day vacation along the California Coast to celebrate Kiddo’s birthday. Armed with only his smart-phone, he took some amazing pictures along the way.

The Hits and Misses of 2022

What’s that strange looking contraption? It’s a Hit-and-Miss Engine. Conceived in the late 19th century, the Hit ‘N’ Miss was produced by a number of companies from the 1890s through the 1940s. What does this combustion engine have to do with recipes? Nothing. I just like it.
