Easter

He is Risen, He is Risen, indeed!!! This is one of my favorite celebrations, especially when I can say, He is Risen, indeed. Christ rose from the grave so we could have eternal life! What a wonderful expression of love! Love has redeemed us! What more can one say??? One thing you can say is yes to a relationship in Christ! Best thing I ever did!! Blessings and enjoy the day!

Saturday

So, tomorrow is Palm Sunday. I remember Palm Sunday as a wonderful prelude to Easter as a kid growing up in Chicago. We got dressed up and had our picture taken outside if possible next to the "tulip tree", which I think it is a northern Magnolia tree. Palm Sunday was confirmation day for those who had attended classes. I was 14 when I got confirmed. Didn't realize really what had happened, but I did have a Jesus encounter. My faith as a believer didn't really get grounded until I was 25 yrs old, but it was the beginning! What are your memories of Palm Sunday?? Blessings!!

Bacon

I love Bacon!!!! Gordon does too! So tonight for supper we will have BLT's. YUM!!! So how do you prepare your bacon?? Do you microwave it, fry it or oven bake it??? I oven bake it and all the mess is in the oven. It's so easy and less mess! Tomatoes look pretty good, huge and some taste(nothing like tomatoes from the garden, though). So you fix your BLT's with white bread or a whole grain bread??? I'm a whole grain person! I personally like Wright Bacon from Sam's Club. It has pretty good flavor and that's what matters to me! Well, blessings to you all.

March 1

Well, we all made through Feb., pretty much intact except Friday I got home from work and PT, ate supper and went to bed at 7:30 pm. Slept most of the night, slept all day Saturday, finally took my temp. about 5 pm which was 102.8. I got the CRUD!!!!!! Slept Saturday night in my lazy boy recliner and most of Sunday in the recliner. Yesterday I did shower and ran a temp till 3 am this morning. I did eat a baked potato last night. I have had 2 bowls of chicken noodle soup today. You would think I would be hungry, but not really! I have drank so much water, I did attempt a Gatorade, but didn't like it! As most of you know, I am a coffee snob and coffee tastes weird. Can't do it yet! The girls at PT said, "well, you said you needed a vacation", yeah well this isn't it! Rest is hard for me. I can tell you very easily to rest and you will heal faster, but I don't take it well when I'm told!
So, I'm on the mend and washing my sheets! God is good and I do feel rested! Stay well, my dear ones! Blessings!

Happy Birthday Kora!

Our youngest granddaughter, Kora, is 10 today! I can still remember  the day she was born. I got there the next day as I couldn't get away from work the day of her birth, but she was a beauty and a keeper! She has been fun to watch in the last 10 years. She's a kind child, always humming or singing, asks to help, loves games and loves the beach when she is here visiting us! Happy, happy birthday, sweet Kora! Blessings from your Grammy!!!

post birthday blues

Yesterday was my 64th birthday, I'm pretty excited to be able to sing the Beatles song, "When I'm 64." But just when I think things are going good, the "hub" forgets my birthday entirely. NO card, extra kiss, gift and extra hug. Man, where did I go wrong!???  So on this blog I feel safe to say, I'm really bummed out! He usually doesn't forget the whole thing, maybe a card , but this just hurts!! My kids and friends do better at making me feel wonderful for my birthday. It makes me wonder what is he thinking?? I don't want to read too much into this, but it makes one think! I told him this hurts my feelings, but sorry just doesn't cut it! Any suggestions?? Pray for me! I'm very sad! Blessings!

odds and ends

Okay, so one of my favorite sites these days to visit is www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com. The site belongs to Mavis Butterfield, she's a major gardener and gives you lots of tips to spend less money, beyond gardening help. Today's page talked about going to a new grocery store, which is a favorite thing for me to visit. I love going to a grocery store beyond the one I work at: love seeing the produce, how they have set up the aisles, love seeing the fresh meats or seafood, bulk food items and etc. Mavis gives you food for thought too.
Another favorite website is www.smittenkitchen.com. Deb Perlman is the author of that one. So, today she made caramel corn using miso, I have no clue what miso is or what it tastes like, so in that regards I'm a picky eater. If I buy the miso and don't like the taste , what do I do with the rest, throw it out, I think not! Have any of you tasted miso, will you describe it for me??? I did google miso, but still leery of buying it!
The Lord blessed me yesterday and today. Some of you see me daily or weekly, and know how bent over I have been for the past year. I have been gifted standing up straight for 2 days, woohoo!!!! Thank you Jesus!! This is beyond what I thought could happen! Blessings
