Purim Blessings

What is Purim??

It is a wonderful celebration.  It is the story of Esther.


Above is my favorite version. The newer movie is A Night With the King which you can watch for free at www.hulu.com. So I wish you a blessed Purim as you celebrate the fact that God has a plan and works all things together for His glory. Read the book of Esther you will truly be blessed and reminded. a little bird

50 Non 'Techy' Things

Idea compliments of  the Canadian Doomer

I was checking the blogs that I enjoy reading this morning.  Canadian Doomer had the above list posted.  It was interesting to read through.  I find that I still do 27 of the 50...

(7, 11, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50)

I would still tape movies I wanted to see on the VCR but our VCR is new and the TV OLD so they don't play well together.  I can watch but not tape. 

#39. - some things will always require hand washing, who wrote this list... 

#41. I live with my love so I don't send love letters to him but I do leave a note on his desk upon occasion. 

Hope you have fun reading through the list too.  Thanks CD.

Soup for supper tonight

I am making some chicken vegetable soup for supper.
It just sounded good and the bright colors of the vegetables were so appealing.  I am making some corn pone to go with it.

I have a corn pone pan so will grease that with bacon grease and bake.

An old fashion, humble dinner.  

I'm sure both President Washington and President Lincoln had some humble dinners too.

Happy President's Day

Resolved

The fellow contacted me today regarding the incorrect shipment.  He apologized and said they would ship the correct parts in 48 hours.
I'm pleased!  I am an internet shopper.  We live far enough from any big cities that shopping online is a real blessing.

Well I Never!

With all the internet ordering I have done this is the first time I've had a bump in the road.

I placed an order that took almost five weeks to arrive (requiring many phone calls and emails to prompt shipping) and when it arrived today it was incomplete and incorrect... ARG. Growl. Fiddlesticks!

I paid with pay pal so hopefully they can help with the resolution of the order.    Just a bit frustrating because I wanted what I ordered.

We had a lovely date yesterday.  I need to read the Hobbit again.  There were parts I don't remember from the book but it has been years since I read it.  It is a book worth having in my library I need to see if I can find it used.

Hope you're having a great Saturday!

Sleepless Night

This is very rare for me but I'm awake in the middle of the night... After tossing and turning for an hour it's time to get up for some warm milk and a surf on the net.

What did I find?  Some cute projects.

Then I found the JACK POT HERE at Sew Mama Sew

A few more ideas HERE and  HERE.

And now my warm milk is gone and I'm hoping that sleep will come again before my alarm goes off so I'm going to head back to bed.  :-)
I'd say good night but really it's good morning.

Acts 2:38

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: 'Stop! Acts 2:38!' (Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and
explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Why did
you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.'

'Scripture?' replied the burglar 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!'

 Knowing scripture can save your life - in more ways than one!

Gotta love it!  Sunday blessings to you!
