THE UNITED STATES OFFERS FREEDOM OF RELIGION

Johna Clay Moody I am disturbed because a military person is being court marshaled because of having a Scripture on her computer. Why is that bugging me? Well I thought you would never ask! This is Why!! The military is out there in the worst parts of the world attempting to keep you safe. Nobody drafted them, they volunteered to do this. The only real hope they have is not in their military training but the power of the 'Almighty God'. Maybe you are not old enough to have heard all those sto... Sign in to see full entry.

SOME STREETS HAVE MORE DEAD ENDS THAN THRU PASSWAYS

This batch of research has me stumped. Freeze dried butter and sour cream are so different one company to another that one would not know they were the same products. Another stumper is that the fat does not freeze dry well so I guess they extract it. I got all the ingredients and tried all the different methods and I am still up cripple creek on this experiment. I am not giving up yet. The three products I am trying to develop are wonderful and easy when done with natural fresh or even frozen... Sign in to see full entry.

OKAY I DON'T WANT TO CATCH ANYONE NAPPING WHILE READING

Well here goes since Nautikos asked what I was working on I am going to tell you. I am working on a project to aid those people who work, are retired, students or just like to have good meals and not spend a lot of time doing a lot of dishes and cooking so much yet they are not skimping and the flavor is full and good. Several years ago, not this last venture of jams etc., I did a small line of fun foods and some wonderful alcohol based vinegars that were great fun. During my research for that I...

THANKS SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE

Thank you so much for being so patient. I left a single day holiday message up for almost a week. I have been very busy, sorry I haven't been around. I will be back again soon and try to write something with some sort of message but right now I am behind the eight ball. I am doing some product development again and it takes a bit of research and putting all the different little goodies together and seeing what happens in the end or midway over and over. I will keep you updated soon. Love ya. Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS

I want to wish every mother on face book a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.... A day without which none of us would be here. She is the one person in your life that carried you day and night nine months before she could see how cute and sweet you really were. The one who may have more than once gone to sleep in the middle of the night to awaken only be the dropping of the bottle while she fed you after a long day's work.... So all of us may not be mothers but all of us had mothers so I say to THEM ALL THANKS... Sign in to see full entry.

THERE IS ALWAYS GOOD TO MIX WITH THE BAD HAPPENING, THANKFULLY

There have been such bad things happening all over the world for the last month or so. Tornadoes can be so devastating and one town in Oklahoma I believe where not one structure was left unharmed. Thankfully no one was killed. The death toll of those in Kathmandu just keeps growing and the volcano in Chili is still belching. I believe these sorts of happenings are significant. I believe we can look for more and perhaps worse ones in September. You would think I sit around thinking of bad tidings... Sign in to see full entry.

WOW AM I IN FOR RENOVATION

Well one never knows what they will encounter from leaving home on Sunday morning until they return that evening. I certainly did not expect to have to go for major repairs and those quickly it appears. In one of the areas of the Nursing Homes where we have two Sunday morning sessions we take week about preaching. We usually have a good time of singing, talking with the residents and some settling in for them before the sermon begins. Also our sermons are alway Scriptural but geared to their...

HELLO I AM STILL HERE

Sorry time got away from me big time. I have been busy and could not get time to write or read. I will be catching up with you; however, I will not probably comment on all the back ones but I will read your posts. I can't look around and tell you what I have been doing that was so great that I got lost in time and did not write. It has concerned me with all of the natural disasters that have gone on recently. I have noticed that the news is not speaking of the tornado disasters on a National... Sign in to see full entry.

FREE RANGE KIDS I FOUND AT TAPS

I just read this wonderful post by TAPS. Well when is one not wonderful that is written by TAPS? It brought memories back of how wonderful it was to be a free range kid, however, I never knew anything else. My mother was very strict and made me work a lot, however, it never occurred to be afraid to walk about in the neighborhood. If indeed one can call the country a neighborhood. My children too were free range and I can really remember how free range when I think back of a time when my youngest... Sign in to see full entry.

WELL THE LAST LAUGH IS ON US!

As I told you we had such a wonderful day yesterday and it sorta tired me out. I slept in this morning very late. When I awoke and went looking for George I found him painting upstairs. Not unusual as he works night shifts and works as he can before going in to work. I busied myself with preparing some food and noticed it was getting late before I finished cooking and doing a bit of the other chores about the house. I called for George to come eat and noted that it was getting near time for him... Sign in to see full entry.

OH WHAT A DAY

One might say it takes so little to please old people. No that is not the case we have done most everything and know the pleasures of simplicity. Today George was off work so we had a wonderful day. We began with breakfast out by the lake just watching the beautiful day building and going on about itself. Then we went to the Farm and Garden store to get some wonderful treasures. 1) We purchased Jasmine two kinds: Confederate which smells good but Madison smells like Heaven must it is so awesome....

TODAY IS A BEAUTY

The weather is beautiful. The yard is full of beautiful birds, the flowers are in bloom and this is a lovely day. I am putting my Buddy issue to rest if he is dead I hope he is in animal heaven. If he is alive I hope he is happy now that is that. I know I shall only have to wait a little while before another little kitten gets dropped off here. That happens so often. I wish I could afford to have all of them fixed and keep them but I can't. We have walls and walls of roses blooming now. They are... Sign in to see full entry.

ANOTHER DAY

Well there is no sign of Buddy and I just have to hope. Today is another one and I must get on with things. I have been cleaning out the pantry and it is a job. I will love it when it is back in good order. Today we are having an Art Festival on the Lake. This is an even that has lasted well over 50 years so everybody turns out for it. We have some excellent artists and crafts people but we also get people from all over the country and outside the states too. Yesterday and today there has been a... Sign in to see full entry.

KITTY, KITTY COME HOME KITTY

Our beautiful sweet Buddy, the big baby yellow and white cat is missing. We, just like all of you, love our pets and since we have lived here too many have gone missing or been killed and even stolen. It is so sad each time. We have looked and looked but he seems to have vanished into thin air. No such is possible he is a home body he plays in the yard, garage and in the house all the time. I have never seen him on the other side of any of the streets that surround our home, only here. He was... Sign in to see full entry.

A TURN OF THE TABLES

D you ever tire of hearing that everything we eat and do is killing us? When I thought of the only things left to eat or do with any degree of safety, there was nothing left that was fun or tasted good. I personally don't plan to live forever, so I cheat. What, I wondered, would be the outcome if we concentrated more on nurturing our senses while the jury was still out on everything from cucumbers to hazelnuts? I vowed I would never eat a pizza out of a cardboard box straight off the coffee... Sign in to see full entry.

A WORD CAN CREATE OR DESTROY

Words are powerful tools Some hot, some cold, some shy, others bold Some rhyme, some fly, some float Then some are flung so they just flutter and gloat I don’t know about meter and rhythm Nothing of proper poetic discourse I know words bring salvation and declare deadly war The same word dressed differently may deliver gloom or glory The dress of a word is a significant sound One word, many sounds they build up and they tear down Sounds of bricks being laid in the walls of life Center off...

100 YEAR OLD CONSTRUCTION IS DIFFERENT

I am only stopping by for a minute to read and post as I am still hard at my task. I have forgotten that redecorating was as much clean up and get rid of as it is all the fun creativity of renewal. I am in the process of making scrapbooks of all the various jobs, businesses etc., I have had or done in my life. I am doing this for my daughter and grandson. It is taking a toll. There are boxes of newspaper clippings, photographs, formulas, recipes and factory clothing sheets for manufacturing... Sign in to see full entry.

JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE HAPPY FARM

I am short on time today. We are about to attack some redecorating and that is a major job. Painting, making curtains, cleaning etc. We have to extra rooms upstairs that we have not used so we are decorating them to have enough room for more family to visit this year for Thanksgiving. It will be fun and festive. I will be short of time on Blogit for a few days but don't forget that I will be back to read you. Love and good wishes to all. Sign in to see full entry.

IS ONE'S LIFE REALLY THEIR OWN

Easter is a day that never passes we just keep living in it to the best of our ability. But today I put away my Easter Bonnet it is time to pick up the hoe and rake. I need to fertilize my tomato plants and set some pepper plants. I do look forward to Spring beginning on New Year's day. Of course I am never ready to wait another three months. I would not do well in the cold climes. I did live five years in Michigan but I was going to college and who can think of freezing when they are determined... Sign in to see full entry.
