Kathy and Rayne it is hard to loose a good friend rather it be human or animal, my heart goes out to you Kathy and Rayne your precious Mother has lost a friend too, I pray that Jesus wraps his arms around her too and gives her some comfort. Our animal friends are so precious they are there for us, listen to our woes and never expect us to be perfect.

Hello, Everyone! So sorry it's been so long since I've posted here, but you are all in my prayers for health, support, and God's blessings. Sad to learn of the passing of family, both people and animal, and I pray for comfort for all of you affected by death right now. Our God is truly wonderful and He will provide peace for all.

I've been having difficulty remembering to give praises to God lately, with all that's been going on in our lives, but trying to get back into focus. We decided to take the boys to the neighboring county's fair tonight to see a large cat show (lions, tigers, etc that have been rescued from abusive environments), so we're all looking forward to getting out and away for a little bit. And, the weather couldn't be better for a fair if we'd asked for it-nice and cool! Might even let the boys have corndogs for supper ! But, I'll have to find the 4H booth for something less corndoggy to eat

Hope you all have a great weekend. We're going back to MN to try to finish moving FIL's things out of his apartment and do cleaning. Hoping to actually get to go to church on Sunday (it's been 4 weeks since we were able to go). Take care and God bless you all! Wish I could just reach out and give big hugs to all of you!

Kathy :hugs: Prayers ascending for your family!

Ags - prayers continuing for your daughter. Congrats on the loss!

Ronni - glad to see you here, hope you do have an ON PLAN weekend!

Bev - prayers ascending. I know how it is to lose a cat. Sad indeed!

Rosebud - you sure are keeping busy! I hope the leg is healing!


Well, the two weeks of training is complete - it was very tiring, but I am done and certified.

Now on to the real work of converting all the schools to the new system.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I hope the weather improves so we can take mom to the Arts Fair in the park tomorrow.


Prayers ascending for all!

Candy so happy your back and glad you are feeling better.

Welcome Donna so happy you have joined us!

Rosebud how do you fix rhubarb?

Sounds like fun Gary!

[Justwant2Bhealthy]

DONNA ~ glad to have you aboard ... come back and tell us a bit about yourself; wonderful group here -- you'll like them!


HEY COURTNEY ~ was thinking about you a while back; must have been the Lord puttin' you on my mind. Glad that you are feeling better now; and LAURIE is right, you can get that 10 lbs back off in no time cuz you are young and strong ... prayers going up for you too!


BOOTSIE ~ the MOCK APPLE PIE was prepared like this ...

1-1/2 cups rhubarb chopped in 1-2 inch pieces
3 x large apple cut in chunks
1/2 cup water
2 tsp honey
3 packets artificial sweetener (becuz I have to watch my sugar)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Put into pan in the order given and cook with a lid on medium heat until all is soft; it takes about 30 minutes. Eat warm or cold as desired. Now, if sugar isn't a problem, you can use 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar to your taste, instead of the honey and sweetener. This has a sweet-tart flavor but it gets sweeter the longer it sits (the next day); store in fridge. I just serve it in small fruit nappy (dessert) dishes. Some people like it with a bit of light cream, but I eat it just as it is.

You can also prepare the rhubarb by itself and/or add other fruits to it alone, or a mix according to your likes; I love adding apples or strawberries, or blueberries, or raspberries, or even cherries ... whatever I happen to have on hand or in my freezer.


to ALL OUR CE's out there; and ^PRAYERS^ continue for you and yours ...

[Bootsie]

Thanks Rosebud will have to try some rhubarb never have ate any.

HI GALS ~

Well I am just sitting here watching my ballgame...it is too hot outside to do anything! Angie and i went to church last night so we took the dogs to the beach, parked at the beach cafe, walked 2 miles down and back. Had our usual breakfast there, one tomato/basil/egg and one egg/swiss croissant which we split.

I took off for the grocery store and gas station and paid bills, while Angie did a yoga class then the produce market.

I just finished cooking meatballs for spaghetti I am having on Wednesday, probably...always make extra for next time.

I had to work yesterday but we did not work nights last week like my boss thought we would...maybe this week....darn. So many out of work...I shouldn't complain...just tired

Seems like I post the same thing every week-end ....I lead such an exciting life

BARGOO ~

McMAMA ~ Welcome back

BOOTSIE ~ the concert was fun! It was at our park which is small for the summer concerts...probably 1,000...one of the ones we go to has easily over 4,000...so many we quit going as often. Fun to take in things when the weather is nice and experience summer experiences!

ROSEBUD ~ I never had rhubarb that I know of.

COURTNEY ~ Sorry you had health issues dear So glad to see you back here..we sure do miss you! P.S. been playing corn-hole/bean bag toss quite often this summer...everyone loves it!

DONNA T ~Welcome

SCOOTER ~ How is the "family" doing? Still all there? Hope you enjoyed the arts and crafts fair, Angie and I love to go to them. There seems to be one almost every week-end around here, we had a small one on the beach route this morning...paintings. One we go to, that is held twice a year, has over 100,000 for the one day event! It is right on the route we took this morning for our walk.

BEV ~ I hope all is well with you and your "honeymooners" I did send Dennis a note...don't remember if I told you.

RONNI ~ I hope it wasn't too difficult moving out fil's stuff for your family I hope the fair was fun.

WILMA ~ Busy exercising?
