Good morning. It’s a cool 74° and will stay in the 70’s all day and go down in the high 60’s by tomorrow morning. Definitely not August in Atlanta weather.
Prayers continue for Mumsie and family in their loss.
64 degrees here and a nice cool breeze coming through the windows. Cleaning and cooking in preparation of sis in law her husband and their dog arriving this afternoon… let the chaos begin!
Hey, I didn’t take the header photo, but in my skimming over old posts on my return home I saw someone ask the species and I didn’t see the answer. In case it hasn’t already been answered, it’s a blue-headed vireo.
I had a dish yesrs ago that I loved whovh had zucchini slices with tomatoes, and maybe onion and garlic with better and parmesan with herb seasonings in foil packs
Large overgrown zucchini – peel skin if tough, shred, salt liberally and let sit overnight. In the morning, drain off all the fluid that came out, rinse the salt off and freeze. Then you can use it in chili or other dishes – can’t taste it but it adds more veggies to your dish. Oh, take the centre with the seeds out.
So sorry about my jumbled post. I was unable to edit. Now you see how much trouble this combo of bad eyesight, bad phone, and not being able to edit creates. It almost makes me give up. But God helps me carry on!
I had planned to post a video with it that would have helped, but that got blocked, too.
Today we celebrate 171 years of our church’s existence. It won’t be on the scale of last year’s celebration, but will be nice for those who did not attend last year.
Good Sunday morning. We are enjoying time with my daughter and her family. Friday and Saturday were busy with my uncle’s interment ceremony in the Veteran’s cemetery. One of my cousins (also in the military) had flags from many different eras in our country, including the Betsy Ross Flag, Don’t Tread on Me flag, and those with different numbers of stars. He explained the history of each.
The interment ceremony was followed by a family reunion of all who could come at an event ceremony owned by family. Then on Saturday, there was a tour of four cemeteries (we missed that) and then a tour of the old farmhouse/homestead where one of my aunts still lives. I learned a whole lot more about family past and present.
There was a lot of memorabilia including newspaper clippings and letters from the time my uncle was considered dead by the military, his time as a POW and his return home. I am so glad someone had the foresight to keep all this.
Mrs. L used to make zucchini bread. Just use a banana bread recipe.
One year a woman at church had a lot of zucchini and each week would bring a different zucchini dish to the fellowship meal. We told her she should make a cookbook “101 Ways to Prepare Zucchini”.
He was a POW during the Korean War for just over two years. His mother was told a few times that he was dead. She did not believe it. They insisted. He wasn’t.
I met a former POW at the reunion. We were two passing strangers when I asked about his walking sticks. The conversation quickly turned to God and then he mentioned being held hostage from age seven to eleven. Said he was raised in Poland where the Germans were friends until the Russians came. He was taken from his family and held for four years. Upon return to his family, they emigrated from their homeland to the US. He arrived knowing no English but in twelve years had graduated and was a teacher, became a principal for thirty four years. About ten years ago, he was able to return to Poland where he met the guy who had captured him. He greeted the guy with open arms and the love and forgiveness of Christ, they parted friends and we parted brother and sister in Christ.
Later met the cousin in law of a cousin. She is the daughter of a Medal of Honor winning Nisei soldier from the 442nd. Did I mention the reunion was a lot of fun?
a memorial service yesterday. I was in charge of the reception. So many helped that it was beautiful to see God provided just what was needed
then drove an hour to a Mormon wedding reception. Saw allot my brothers family, the one who died. Good to show that I was a part of their family. I have a nephew that is border patrol and got to tell him that I am praying for him.
today I helped with communion, very tired
but I stopped by the family coffee shop and mentioned helping with communion. Granddaughter looked at me and said you do that? She thought that was what cults did. Turns out when she was in Paris she got up early and walked alone to Norte Dame. And they had communion. I thought to myself that I prayed that God would touch them in Paris
