HOME

It was so good to be home today to re-arrange junk......you know .......everyone has things like that hahha............and we move it from one place to the other and think that it is organized!!!!  it looks a lot better anyway.  the pictures here are from pintrest.  wow....some people sure have nice ideas and photos.

I am hosting a Men's Breakfast June 10. and looking over the internet i found  a really nice book with a few stories in it.  Going to print it out and hope the fellows like it.  We will have a pancake, veggie bacon, poached eggs, cheese and maple syrup breakfast....and other things.  Here is the website...it's called the Art of Manliness    Check it out if you like!!

Another Pink Saturday is here and may the blessings of the day be on you!!!

Springtime is here, The sun rises earlier and pink sky in the morning with the crows talking, playing, courting!!!!  Making new houses!!  So here are some birdhouses for the birds.

If I could just take a paintbrush and sweep it over the earth i think many things would be PINK,  i think that God also loves pink because the first thing in the morning when i drive to work and wake up in the morning is the pink on the mountains and pink tinted clouds in the sky.
i would surprise my grandkids with breakfast made with these..........................

but instead i guess we will settle for this...................

this is a very good drink i made from a recipe while watching Steven and Chris, except mine  is alcohol free!!!  So first i chopped a half english cucumber, some mint leaves, with a quarter cup of cherry soda to blend in the blender,  strain juice in a glass and add fresh lemon juice and as much as you like of the remaining cherry soda.  it is very good!!! such a fresh taste.....

Happy Pink Green Saturday and may you enjoy the blessing of Saint Patricks Day on sabbath.
lots of best wishes

What Shall I Say About the Irish? The utterly impractical, never predictable,
Sometimes irascible, quite inexplicable, Irish.Strange blend of shyness,
pride and conceit,
And stubborn refusal to bow in defeat.
He's spoiling and ready to argue and fight,
Yet the smile of a child
fills his soul with delight.
His eyes are the quickest to well up with tears,
Yet his strength is the strongest
to banish your fears.
His hate is as fierce as his devotion is grand,
And there is no middle ground
on which he will stand.
He's wild and he's gentle,
he's good and he's bad.
He's proud and he's humble,
he's happy and sad.
He's in love with the ocean,
the earth and the skies,
He's enamoured with beauty wherever it lies.
He's victor and victim, a star and a clod,
But mostly he's Irish—
in love with his God.

Inspiration comes from making a WISH!!   you say to yourself i wonder what i can do for this person or that person. Today i made some lasagna soup put it in a jar, tomorrow it will go to my secret sister with a ribbon wrapped around it.

Then i heard some chickadees this week and thought it would be so nice to see spring here and green grass and maybe even some mud!!!

always inspires me also, especially if it is the Gaithers, once in a while i will hear a catchy tune with the mood i am in at the moment and sing along.

BUT mostly it is when i hear people who say that their goal or purpose in life is to do good, be kind, be honest, help another person in need, respect one another

then i am grateful for the way God has provided for each one of us during the week, and especially for my boss which maybe i will tell you about him for next week, he is awesome! that if i were rich i would get out my little white care and do this.........................

now wouldn't this just be FUN!!!
happy PINK Saturday everyone, have a good weekend.............

beet sandwich

never?? never!!!  well i should not roast beets in the microwave i guess, you can see it burst all over the place.........

This is a beet sandwich  lol,  anyone brave enough to try one lol, well actually it was pretty good!!!!  i baked it in the microwave a bit, sliced it up, added salt and mayo and voila- a beet sandwich!!!!

All the PINK in the world that we post is amazing and takes my breath away, what an awesome color it makes with everything, the sunsets and rises, our food and clothes, and the way we measure love in shades of reds and pinks. 

And so the color Pink makes us all HAPPY,  happy Valentines day to all you out there!!!!

Old Letters

i

I love your smile as you read and leave comments, it leaves a smile on me as well!!! I have to give the credit to a lot of bloggers out there who leave pictures and comments and so it is with pleasure I share what they have already shared, i hope no one will be offended, consider it a compliment when you see it again!

Hopefully this little video will make you smile again as this little PINK pig tries to get his cookie, prepare to relax and watch it thru lol.
some of us have such addictions it is curious lol, we have a lady at work.....uh....not me ! of course,  haha....her addiction is chocolate, she is very slim,  always cold, she wears a sweater and has a heater in her operatory,  but everytime she sees me she says do you have any chocolate?  on Friday she would go into the lunch room and grab a chocolate in between every patient.  that is probably not funny to you but to us it is.  She just has to have chocolate! and so this little movie is applicable to all of our addictions. 

don't you wish you could have one of these Crave Cakes, looks yummy eh!!!!!

I could have one of these......................

Happy PINK Saturday everyone!

and all things PINK!!!

THIS is probably a strange thing to talk about on Pink Saturday, but everything goes eh!!!!  we have some friends this weekend that have died and so their funeral is being held this Saturday.  They were an older couple that had medical issues  and after a long illness finally have been given rest.  We are sad to see them go but glad that as someday they will see Jesus raise them and meet Him when He comes to takes us to heaven.  Death is but a sleep!
i have always been so squimish about death and dreaded the thought of bugs eating me and being covered with six feet of dirt and felt sorry for the people buried in the cemetary.  What could be better???......cremation.....oh i don't know!   UNTIL  i went shopping for caskets with my friend one day and i saw a PINK casket!  It had frills and lace and pillows and even a pink blanket.  i remember the relief that came over me suddenly i did not mind any more  lol lol
Is that crazy or what.....anyway i still would not dying in a cloud of pink.

PS.  yes that is the most important legacy is that their heart is with God and they will be ready to meet their Friend and yes i agree it might be better just to keep it between me and God about the color, i don't know but perhaps a blanket could be thrown across it if it offends anyone hahahha,  this one might be for a child but i did see an adult coffer as well!!!!  thank you so much for leaving me comments, i am glad if even this caused a smile!!!!

OH another PS.  i would like to be buried  in one of my mothers old fashioned ruffled, beribboned pink and white rosed nighties,,   hahahha  but if the men are present and are embarrassed then they only need to look from the head up hahah  God will change my clothes into more perfect ones later!!!!   

and here is the purse i want to carry my Bible in, and a doll, and my mothers crystal dish....really do i need anything else lol!!! oh some lipstick that tastes like cotton candy.

Life for a New Year

The New Year is 2012, and already the shepherds have gone back to their sheep, the yearly taxes have been counted, Mary and Joseph with their new born son have to pick up and flee, leaving the comfort of their stable floor of hay and the quiet lowing of animals.  Now they have to listen to human voices chasing, squabbling, and demanding.  But finally with the guidance of angels and a heavenly protection,  they make their way to safety where the parents begin what we call home schooling today!  Mary and Joseph had an awesome task ahead of them as do we as parents and grand parents to teach them in the ways of the Lord,   this was not the most exciting week for me as i had my grandkids, they were so unruly i must say, i don't know what the matter was, and so i admire all the homeschoolers out there who teach their own kids. 

Here is a link I found interesting  The Homeschool Chick  it even has two PINK BIRDS in the ad section!!!

And a CRAFT for the kids and adults to enjoy....save up all those toilette paper rolls!!!! and one other CRAFT to do.  Okay so here are bunnies and flowers to enjoy as a center piece on the table as well for the kids!

but happy new year to you all and a prosperous one in all aspects of living
Happy New Year of 
2012

CHRISTMAS DAY

WOW! it is here again! only two more days or one by the time i get this done......my three oldest kids have their birthday on the 25th. Only one is close though so I will make her a Chocolate Caramel cake with vanilla pudding in the middle and whipping cream icing with old fashioned roses for decoration.  i am just about ready.....have to wrap the presents yet! bought one daughter brand new sheets, the other is getting a church cookie jar!  i have always wanted a cookie jar and now that no one is home it remains empty so maybe she will keep it full!   the boys are so far away, i wish they were here too.  I made a big pot of beans and a sweet onion and cranberry cheesecake with sage and garlic.  it is sort of like a quiche.  

The time is here! I wonder what Mary did in preparation for the big trip--on a donkey !!, did she gather some figs to nibble on, where did she get the blanket He would be wrapped in? did Joseph cut the cord as some fathers do today>Did He cry right away?  No one was prepared for the King in those days and now we have a whole year and still there are many last minute things to do,

I made one of these tonite, it turned out so well..........................the ladies did not have Martha Stewart in those days but if they did would they have chosen this gift wrapped package....

or the Shepherds-what would they have wrapped it in............

or the Wise Men....

 whatever the Gift, however it was wrapped, God accepted, even the gift of a humble heart that believed on Him! Even the gift of our voices as we sing the praises of the birth and glory of Jesus.

May each one have a Wonderful Christmas day and the Blessing of Christ be upon each one.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

Shepherds and their Sheep

This Friday as I gather my candles together, synomatically their flickering lights, cascading with the softly falling snow brings this evening to a close.  I remember the sounds of majesty the Christmas songs from the satellite radio as i drive the hour to work and then back again.  It is a peaceful evening, and a lonely one, the cat still is adjusting to its new home and is in hiding under the bed.   Sabbath is here.

Here are a couple of blogs you may click as you reflect of shepherds and interesting concepts!!
  Mamabishop    Fire or Blackberries 

 And so my wish is for eveyone happy gift wrapping and enjoyable times with children and families

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

 

Christmas trees

 

Hello all and welcome to my world!  this week i am borrowing pictures from blogs i have found with my favorite looking trees,  as yet i have not put one up so here are others,   i love the chair and country style of this one.

 

This one is utterly fantastic and one that you want to wear high heels to, and below when outside you can see the heavy frost on rosehip laden branches, such beauty at this time of year!!!

and now for the pink theme  are little minatures that are just perfect for a coffee table or centerpiece,

 

this year i joined a secret sister club and i forgot to take pictures what i made for her, what a silly person, she is going away to see her family so i made pages with family spaces for her to scrapbook and another Christmas box with the most lovely cookies that were made by a Mennonite bakery.  They are seeded apricot oatmeal cookies.  Don't they sound good!!!

Well have fun this week decorating and crafting and baking

Happy Pink Saturday

ps.  Butteryum  has the most delicious fudge recipes
