Sunshine Again!!!

So much to be thankful for these days.  It is in the 90s.  I have waited in great  anticipation for such balmy weather.  I love to follow my DGS's hot, souped up, and shaded wagon down to the pool for a  refreshing swim.  MyDD#3 made some  fabulous lasagna for us in honor of  DH for Father"s day. She can really cook!  The sun's being out last week inspired us to put some chicken thighs in the solar oven a and when we went to retrieve it, it just fell from the bones.  I wished I had made up some biscuit dough.  Some time later, DH brought in some peas and some rice!  All  sun ooked!  I did not know he could do that by himself!  Just kidding.  He is  such a blessing.

36 years!!!!!!

Yesterday was our anniversary.  36!  When did that all happen?  Well, back then we both told God that we meant our words when we said our vows and I guess we really did!  DH still treats me kindly in spite of my handicap that keeps me in the wheelchair, and in spite of his cute not so tiny bald spot.  Tee hee!!!  I guess we are very fortunate!  I had my health while my children were small.  My father joined the church.     And DH and I are politically similar.  There was nothing important enough to fight about for long.  He was and is my very best friend!

Boy, This Is Hard

I have started to write three blogs but they have all disappeared. I then typed one key at a time and all of a sudden the letters seen to change and become meaningless. Sometime the cursor jumps to the middle of the page and puts letters where they don’t belong. My DDs volunteered to help but I still have problems. I have tried typing on Word and copying to the blog and that helps some. It can be really frustrating. I am trying to type on a netbook, maybe, I need to use a larger keyboard.

There has been bad weather in Texas for the last three weeks and I haven’t used my solar oven. My DH tells me that the wheat we soaked for 24 hours was soft and chewy without putting it in hot water. Thank you DH for your research.

I'll try this again another time.

Best Laid Plans

So here I sit in a seat in my daughter's house. How did I get here????? First I remember awakening to my DH's voice saying, "OK, time for blood, Poke yourself. Blood sugar time, first item of business. The blood sugar same as yesterday." How about Good morning!?!
"Come on , get up I have to be at work early today. You can stay with DD#2."
OK, no time for a shower. I can see he is already in his suit. OK,time to bogey! Let's see, first the right leg then the left. Brush teeth, took time to shine sink. toilet stayed clean over night. Gargle...ick, awful stuff. Ran hand down over bed.
'Want your walker or your wheelchair, this morning?' So if you caught my gleaming smile from the car, know that at least I tried to make the bed. Partly done is better than not even tried!

Osama

Yesterday Osama met his death. As an American, I can rejoice with the Navy Seals but am reluctant to allow myself to explode in rapture as many of my fellow Americans have done. Osama has gone to meet God - totally unprepared! What horror will grip his heart when he sees Jesus and realizes there is no time for repentance! Can my poor heart truly rejoice at his fate? I think not. Oh I am thankful for the gift of repentance.

Royal Wedding

This week thirty years ago I rented a television and woke my eldest daughter and pulled her into bed with me to watch the wedding of the century of England’s Charles and Diana…a real princess and a real future King.  There were skies full of fireworks and sparkles lit my little girl`s eyes.  “Oh Mommy, will my wedding be this beautiful?  “Oh yes,” I gushed, and even more so.”  For how could a Temple wedding with eternal vows be anything but the best and most beautiful?

Just two days ago my two eldest girls came to waken me in time to turn on the TV (yes, we now own a television) to see the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  Such pomp and riches!  Such glory.  They stayed all night and we watched it together. Once again.my daughters, I PROMISE you that your weddings will be lacking nothing not even the fireworks in the sky.  All you need to do is to follow the Lord’s path ….Marry in the right place to a man who loves God even more than he loves you.

Easter

Hey, Hooray!  Tomorrow is Easter!  Another reason to celebrate the life and mission of Jesus Christ!  After church, DH and I will head over to our kiddos` and our grand  kiddo`s  place to celebrate with a dinner.  DH will be making some of his awesome mashed potatoes.  So there goes my diabetic control.   Mashed potatoes and cheese are hard to resist.  No, I won’t be making my grandson any cookies this year.  I love him far too much to poison him with sugar.  I want health and strength to be with him for life, and surely no beguiling treat will tempt him from my kitchen.  But there is hope on the horizon!  A new product has been developed made from beans and flax seeds that will play no tricks on your blood sugar.  These things are called “Beanitoes” and are made in San Antonio.  A Texas solution!  And they are so good!

So, please join me raising my voice in praises to my Savior.  For all the good that has touched our lives, for each other.   Happy Easter!
