This Is My . . . .

KITCHEN

This is where I like to spend most of my time......
doing the dishes......
taking something warm, ooey gooey, and full of LOVE
out the oven for my family......
or just gazing at pictures of my family and remembering good times.

Another Way To Recycle

If you know Kiddo, you know he is ALWAYS eating or drinking something.  He has a habit though, of not always finishing what he pours, and would wind up putting it in the fridge.  I'm glad he did that instead of pouring it down the drain, but it was usually in the door where it was easily knocked over. 

One day I was making YUMMY Macaroni Salad and used up the last of the mayonnaise.  "What can I do with these plastic jars?  I thought to myself, "I hate throwing them away!"  (light bulb going off)  I know....we can use these for our drinks and then just put the lid back on 'em and stick 'em back in the fridge.  Now we won't have to wear sweet tea upon opening the refrigerator door!

It Figures!

I tried making a loaf of bread using a bottled mix. I guess this is what I get for trying to make beer batter bread on a Sunday!
It exploded all over me and the counter.  

LOL!




Meet My Bible

Renee over at "GLOW ACADEMY" asked me if I would participate with her today in "MEET MY BIBLE" I have posted this in the past, so some of you may have already seen this.

I would like you to 
Meet My Bible..................................

How old is your Bible? My Bible is 29 years old now.

Why did you chose this Bible? I didn't choose mine, it was a gift.

Do you highlight/mark passages in your Bible? Yes, I do highlight/mark in my Bible.
If so, what is your system for marking passages?
I highlight each passage I have read or highlight passages that I feel have touched my heart in some way. It is my goal to have my entire Bible highlighted.  But you know, I have found that a system works best if you actually remember to bring your Bible with you to church!  lol

Do you have notebooks to record things? No, I don't. Our pastor provides us with an outline of his sermon so I use that or paper I bring with me, but I think that's a really great idea.
Where is your favorite spot to read your Bible? Outside on my front porch, when the weather permits.  I love to sit and look at the beautiful mountains while drinking a hot copy of coffee, listening to the birds serenade me, while talking to my precious Lord!!  There is NOTHING like it!
Are there any special thoughts about your Bible you want to share?
My Bible was a gift from my sisters; Dawn, Victoria, Barbara, and Cathy when I was 17. It is all the more precious to me now because our sister Victoria has passed away.


At that point in my life, I was going to become a Salvation Army officer but then realized that it was not God's calling for me, but everyone else's. I knew that there were other ways that I could serve our Heavenly Father.


I know that everything in our lives happens for a reason. Looking back now, I realize it was God's calling for me to become a wife to my DH and a mother to my three beautiful children. He knew that later on I would need to stay home full-time with Kiddo.


GOD IS GOOD...............ALL THE TIME!!!!!!

Compost Bin And A Walkway

Last year, my AWESOME brother-in-law, CF, gave us a bunch of pallets to use for the chicken run. We have a bunch left over, piled up by the shed.  I was looking on-line for different uses for these pallets, when and I found two really great ideas.

The first one I found is for a compost bin.  (http://ducktruckcomposting.com)  I have been wanting one for some time now, but they can be quite expensive.  It is going to be so easy to put together!  WOO HOO!


The second one is a walkway I found on the Funky Junk Interiors blog.  Isn't it so pretty? This one is on a slope, but I think it will be just as nice in my front yard, leading up to the front door.

So, what would you make if you had extra pallets lying around?


Good Morning!

"Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days!" Psalm 90:14

Sending you a hot cup of coffee and prayers for a wonderful day!
