Right now -- I think this is going to be short and sweet! I am getting a late start - it has been a very bad day - (I know it is a day the Lord has created) and maybe it was created to see how I would respond - well - where is my broom? Both of my wings were injured today! I took up for one of my employees today and finally had to hang up after listening to about 10 minutes of a woman screaming at me and finally daring me not to hang up the phone. I finally hung up the phone! Then my other wing suffered injury tonight when my dearly beloved husband didn't come home until almost an hour after he had said he would - Michelle and I ate without him and he doesn't understand why I am upset!!! Oh well - wings heal and so will my feelings!
Did you know that if you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird inspite of it ability to fly will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet and without that space to run, it will not attempt to fly - and will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. The bat, and the bumble bee have similar habits and will remain where they are until they die. In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up! That's the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem! JUST LOOK UP. Remember - "Sorrow looks back", "Worry looks around, but FAITH LOOKS UP!" Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us!
I've given you so many recipes and honestly -- I've only had one person tell me that they made one of my recipes! Not a good record for so many wonderful dishes! Oh well - I started something I promised myself that I would continue -- so hopefully you take something from each post! Tonight I cooked some of those awesome chicken thighs - seasoned with Penzey's spices and some roasted asparagus that was really delicous. I did Michelle and I baked sweet potatoes (and they were wonderful) and Travis a baked Idaho potato. You really need to look back through the posts and find something that you think your family would like and try it! Tomorrow night I will be burning the "midnight oil" cooking for the Alzheimer's luncheon on Wednesday! I am trying to decide on mashed potatoes or All Veggie casserole! I will let you know!! I am also doing "baked" chicken strips, another Pilot is bringing salad - and I am also taking rolls and dessert! I am planning to take the Strawberry Cake and another dear friend is taking a pound cake -- so even with 30 people -- they should have plenty of food!!
I am trusting God will grant each of you a blessed sleep and that we can all continue our lives tomorrow.
