The Spirit of Christmas...
Posted Wednesday, December 26, at 5:41 PM
(Monday, December 24, 2007 - I've been pressed for time, so here's an adaptation from another project... I didn't want to miss the opportunity to bare witness, here, within this season.) The Spirit of Christmas -- is Pure Love. The pure love of the Lord, Jesus Christ...

Gettysburg
Posted Monday, November 19, at 12:10 PM

This day in History - President Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address - one of the most famous, and emotionally stirring, American speeches of all time - it took right around 2 minutes to deliver. For more, facinating information (- some of which I'd not been aware of before -) you can click on this link, below:...

Tat in the Cat!?
Posted Wednesday, November 14, at 8:25 AM

I recently added 'funny cat photos' gadget. (You can customize and add "gadgets" to your google home page.) I snagged this one,(12921643) as an example & have renamed it: Tat in the Cat. What a 'Koi Kitty', this one has been made out to be! Appearantly you can customize your kitties too, who would've thunk it?...

The best he ever had...
Posted Wednesday, October 31, at 4:30 PM

That's what our production manager, Lloyd Shields said about these Caramel-Pecan Cheesecake Bars. I used "real" everything in them, (vanilla, butter...) so they were just as decadent in calorie content as they what they were in flavor. These were easy, and fun to make!...

Slow Cooker BBQ...
Posted Friday, October 26, at 11:36 AM

The first time I made this recipe I doubled it. (and then shot it off in an e-mail to anyone and everyone I thought would love a cheap, fast, easy meat entree that basically cooks itself). I revisited this last night only I used a pork shoulder roast rather than the ribs. (It was FANTASTIC!) I'll be enjoying pulled BBQ Pork sandwiches for lunch today, as an added bonus! =)...

Truth...
Posted Wednesday, October 24, at 4:05 PM

many of us seek just that ...and so, "it" goes in this old world and in "Life"... I've been told (or I saw it, or read it somewhere - sometime ago...) that we each have been given a power so devine that not even the angels possess it, that power would be the power to choose. Free agency. Free Will...

Gone in half a heartbeat...
Posted Thursday, October 18, at 7:01 PM

By all accounts it happened that quickly... One moment clear sailing, the next - fully engulfed in the terrible storm. The sad news... is that this accident: http://cbs2.com/local/local_story_289172931.html (The Multiple car pile up - during a blinding sandstorm - North of Los Angeles - Tuesday Oct. 16)...

You ARE old if...
Posted Tuesday, October 9, at 1:46 PM

You ARE old if you confide in a friend, "I'm having an affair." and You friend's response is, "oh, and are you having it catered, too?" . . . C'mon, now...lol! A little "Office" humor. :P

Waii Wrap...
Posted Monday, July 30, at 7:11 PM

I clocked out Friday afternoon heading for my weekend, thinking I was "forgetting" something. Between sweat drenched mowing and sweet ice water breaks on Saturday I "remembered" what that something was. I'd forgotten to post a cheap, fast, easy recipe for my Friday post. ...

@ Close Range....
Posted Thursday, July 26, at 8:38 PM

I was channel surfing last night & hit gold. It's a short run around the remote as I pull in 5 channels tops. (Even then, it has to be a good night when there's not too much semi traffic rolling by on HWY 83 - they somehow tend to bounce the good TV signals away from my antenna - leaving me with static, noise or blank screen sets.) anywho... ...

An INBOX Inspriational
Posted Monday, July 23, at 9:09 AM

I liked this little nugget enough to gleen it from this morning's incoming e-mails and share it here, with you: "Only an Open Heart will catch a dream... & there are enough stars in the universe to make any wish come true." . . . Note to self: Ordinary PEOPLE, doing the very best they can, whenever and wherever they can, with all that they've been given - stopping along the way to smell the flowers and give help, one to another... are truly, stars in the universe...

Cheap, Fast, & Easy ....
Posted Friday, July 20, at 3:16 PM

I like to joke that, the recipe book I'd love, love, LOVE to write someday would be titled: "Cheap, Fast & Easy", because, we are, after all is said and done, what we eat. =) (insert silly grin here) I've been thinking that Friday would be a good day of the week to post just such favorites of mine - or new ones that I'd like to try - because that gives me (and any of you, dear friends and neighbors) the weekend to test drive them...

Never give up...
Posted Tuesday, July 17, at 5:24 PM

Some wise men once told me this: "Never give up what you want most -- for what you want right now." I'm thinking that sentiment still speaks to PASSION. It's a nice maxim to memorize - a good rule of thumb to reflect on… So much of what we desire most in life is only obtained after a certain price has been paid --...

What's your passion?
Posted Tuesday, July 10, at 11:53 AM

What's your passion? Well, now... that was the question in the classified ad section of the McCook Daily Gazette and, hereby decreed, to be the first topic of conversation for this here blog. For those of you new to the idea of 'blog' the term is a noun, descriptive of a Web Log or online journal. (web+log = weblog ... "we-blog" get it? =) ...or... just plain "blog" for short.) But, (ahem) I digress... Back to the topic at hand - passion!...
