#WeekendLove~Meet Isabelle!
She's what we've been up to this weekend.
Isabelle came into our hearts last Sunday when we flew back in from "the farm" to Seattle. Before I go on and on about the JOY of Isabelle, let me tell you a little bit about what led us to bring this precious little girl into our lives. It all began when we fell in love with two little bundles of Wheaten Terrier LOVE named Doogan and Murphy.
Murphy is Doogan's brother. Never have I seen Doogan love and play with another dog like he did with Murphy. Doogan and Murphy were litter-mates. They were playmates and buddies. They were soul mates who thought they would always have each other no matter how many miles apart they lived.
As many of you know, Murphy disappeared from the farm a little over a year ago. The loss of Murphy was one of the greatest sorrows our family has ever endured. I'll never forget the sorrow I felt every time I looked at Doogan.
Even though he didn't know about Murphy's disappearance, it grieved me that he had lost his soul-mate, his buddy, his brother, his bestest-ever friend.
As odd as it sounds, the summer Murphy disappeared, a dark spot/circle of hair grew on Doogan's back and mysteriously remained there for several months. Doogan's groomer nor his vet had any idea where it came from or how it grew to be. For me~it was Doogan's way of recognizing that Murphy was gone. I know that sounds wild~I'm just telling you it happened.
As soon as I realized Murphy was never coming home, I began yearning {almost panicked}for another Wheaten to love and grow up with Doogan. It was at this time, Greg and I began the search for a little girl to join our family.
At the same time my parents were grieving unlike they had ever grieved the loss of a dog. My heart was so sad for them. I had no idea if they would ever open up their hearts to another dog. Murphy was their companion. The special dog they would grow old alongside. To know this had been taken from them was beyond heart-breaking.
Not long after we began our search for a little girl Wheaten Terrier I received an email about a 9 month old Wheaten Terrier that needed a home. My first question was "Is it a girl?" Looking back now. It was honestly a miracle of sorts. I've wanted to share this story for so long but have chosen not to. I've just never known that I could write the words that would do the sweetness justice. Needless to say, we were surprised and intrigued to know there was a little girl Wheaten who needed a home.
A little girl that needed us.
More than that...a little girl, that had no idea how much we all needed her.
Meet Lila! There are so many things about Lila that led us to Isabelle.
Lila brought more JOY than we could have ever dreamed. Lila brought our Doogan to life like I had not seen since he and Murphy were together. Lila was the most unexpected GIFT. She had us mesmerized from the first moment we met her. She's dreamy~truly. You'd have to meet her to believe how lovely and lively she is!
As much as we loved and adored Lila, the most unexpected thing began to happen. Across the miles, through daily pictures and videos, Mother and Daddy began to fall in love with Lila. Without realizing it, Lila was healing the hearts of us all. We began sharing and talking about Murphy again. Lila was bringing life back to Murphy in the sweetest way, and lifting our sad hearts out of darkness and into her SUNSHINE. It became clear that this little girl was meant for something so much bigger than living life here on Bainbridge Island with Greg, Doogan and I. Lila was meant to travel to the farm and bring JOY to a place that had been smitten with grief following the loss of Murphy.
Why are we always SURPRISED when GOD sends exactly what we need at exactly the right time?
Last Spring our family began making plans for Lila to travel home with me to the farm. Flying this little girl would not be easy, but we had to be very brave and have faith that God would take care of her. I'll never forget my last thought when Lila left our home and Doogan and we headed to take the ferry to the airport. I knew without a doubt there would never be that much JOY ever again in our home. My heart sank knowing Doogan was losing his Lila~but it beamed knowing God had bigger plans for this little girl that was now being called "Murphy's Angel." Now Miss Lila lives on the farm.
She's where she was always meant to be. She brings bounds of JOY to my parent's and to us all when we visit! She's an angel. She's an ANGEL in the realest sense of the word. There's no doubt about that. Returning home to Lila on the farm brings me JOY and peace that only God can deliver.
So this brings us to Isabelle. Again. My heart is over~flowing with love and joy! We've had Isabelle for just a week and it feels as if we've loved her forever. Once again our Doogan is lit up with a sweet twinkle in his eyes. He's got a new puppy-mate. A sister. A soul-mate, a play-mate and best friend. This weekend we took Isabelle on the trails here on Bainbridge Island for the first time. She was a little trooper. She waddled behind Doogan as he led her down his favorite trails. We're so grateful she's come into our lives.
We're so grateful for all the Wheaten's and fur~balls we've been blessed to love.
Thank you for sharing the joy of Isabelle with us. Thanks for always listening when I share my heart.
I love you and wish you a happy week!
I've got some yummy recipes to share!

i am so happy for you all! this was the sweetest post and made me smile!!!!! xoxoxoOh, Teresa....what a sweet, sweet post. ♥ I love all of your fur babies...and how you write about them. You're right...WHY are we surprised when God sends us just what we need? So happy that Lila & Isabelle have such wonderful homes and are right where they are supposed to be!
PS...I just LOVE that picture of Doogan & Isabelle together!What a lovely, sweet post! It made my day!! What a lucky little girl Isabelle is to have so many hearts to love her! You are all truly blessed! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a precious story with adorable fur babies! My eyes leak every time Murphy is mentioned. I so hope he is with someone who adores him...even if they wouldn't return him. :/ Lila is absolutely beautiful! I don't know how you gave her up but I totally understand sharing her with your parents. I'm sure their hearts are blooming now with her to keep them company. Miss Isabelle is adorable! I hope that she & Doogan become best friends and playmates!
Thanks always for sharing from the heart ~
PatRepliesPat you are the sweetest!
Thank you for loving the sweet memory of Murphy.
It wasn't easy giving Lila up but believing with all my heart that God intended her to go beyond our home to heal the hearts of my parent's made it easy.
I learned many years ago we must follow where HE leads.
Going to the farm and seeing the life that Lila has with my parent's is GOLDEN.
It's like a gift that can only be given by God.
What a wonderful post and congratulations to the new additions to your family! I understand what it is like to loss a dog that is such a large part of your life!
ReplyDeleteSweetest story ever. And those of us who are 'animal-people' totally understand how your heart can be healed by loving an animal.
I always love seeing your photos of Doogan - now they will be even more precious.
Sending you love my friend and hugs and smooches to all 3 of the pups~RepliesOh you sweet girl Robin!
I just HEART you.
It was the sweetest most miraculous thing when our hearts began to heal after LILA came into our lives. One day we all just realized we were freely sharing about Murphy again~and allowing ourselves to remember all the sweet things about him.
Honestly. It was all due to the love and joy of Lila. I call that an ANGEL~don't you!
Teresa - thank you for sharing this story! My heart is so happy to hear about Lila and how joy-FILLED her days are. Your sweet Isabelle is beyond adorable! Where did you find her? xo
ReplyDeleteHi there, Sounds like Isabella is a miracle too. What a sweet tale; you left me wanting to know more of the story of Lila though. I'm thankful that Doogan now has a best friend to hang out with. Puppies bring joy to life; our Hunter has with hubby and I. Isabella is so cute!!!! I know she was meant to be with you and Lila with your folks. Wheatens are such a hoot-know you'll have fun days ahead.
Hugs, NoreenOh, my goodness gracious how stinking cute!!! Loved, loved this post! I have a Wheaton her name is Miss Maggy and I know how easy it is to love these sweet fur balls. They are the bestest doggies!! I have had her going on 11 years! I wish you many, many happy years with your new girls !! Love hearing about them ~ Too so share more Oh goodness all most as much as cookin and I love that a bunch ! So , sorry about Murphy, RIP sweet Murphy! I am looking forward to seeing and hearing about all your adventures with these sweet fuzz faces. Smiles from the South!

What a sweet joy for your parents and you and the four legged babies all the way around. Love your babies and what a blessing. And let me say, Doogan has 2 sisters ;) ones just with your parents. Hope you share more adorable pictures. :)
ERIKA This is an amazing story. I've been reading about puppies all over the place today. My husband and I are in prayer that our landlord will let us get a little puppy. We're so desperate for a fur-baby. I feel like they almost complete your lives. So happy for you that you have little Isobelle. She's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, sweet story. Thanks for sharing. Isn't it amazing what a pet can do for us. They certainly are a blessing in ways we may never understand. You make me want to get another dog as a friend for our Jake. Ever since our Sam passed away it just hurts too much to think about getting another to take his place. But, boy, would Jake be happy.
P.S. We found Sam from a local shelter so he was a mix, but everyone always said he looked like a Wheaten. Many of your pictures certainly remind me of him. I'll send you a link to a post I did and you can see for yourself. He was a furry mess, and unfortunately was badly groomed, but he was such a special dog for us.Oh my goodness Teresa!!! I SO need to hear a sweet story right now and this one is just spectacular! I am so very happy for your family...your parents must be just BEAMING!!! Glittering with excitement with a new little girl to take care of!! How wonderful for all of you! So glad you all had a safe trip. Thank you so much for your kind words about my Dad. It has been a very rough week. I'm way behind in reading and commenting and feel a bit foggy right now, but just wanted to let you know how very much it meant to me that you sent me a sweet note.

People & Business :: Companies Reverdia opens world's first large-scale plant for biobased succinic acid in Italy7:35 AM MST | December 13, 2012 | Sotirios Frantzanas Reverdia (Delft, Netherlands), a joint venture between DSM and Roquette (Lestrem, France), says it has begun production of biobased succinic acid at its newly built commercial-scale plant at Roquette's site at Cassano Spinola, Italy. The plant is the world's first dedicated large-scale facility for the production of succinic acid from renewable resources, with a production capacity of about 10,000 m.t./year, Reverdia says. The facility is also the only commercial facility to benefit from experience gained using low pH–yeast technology at demonstration-plant...

You can't win if you can' score. Just ask the Mammoth Huskies, who were shut out Friday night by the Vasquez Mustangs, 21-0.
The loss dropped Mammoth to 3-5 for the season and 1-3 in the conference.
Next week, the Huskies taken on Desert Christian at Gault-McClure Stadium.
In the end, Steve Klassen and Robert Calvert stood like blood brothers in the hallway outside Mammoth Lakes Town Council Chambers, joined by their commitment to medical marijuana.
Both had won licenses to open cooperatives in Mammoth, courtesy of the Mammoth Lakes Planning Commission, which on Wednesday voted to award them the licenses, turning down a bid by Dagmar Zila of the Range of Light Wellness Center.
It was a short but convivial tête-a-tête, with hand shaking and a mutual pledge to help each other in the myriad issues facing them as Mammoth moves into the medical marijuana age.
Last Sunday, our good friend Erick Sugimura defied the wind and started running with the family dog, Tang, on the Downtown bike trail, but after a quarter mile a tree broke off and hit the ground about 40 yards away. ŌĆ£Seriously,ŌĆØ he Facebooked, ŌĆ£it was probably 20-30 feet tall and six to eight feet in diameter!ŌĆØ ThereŌĆÖs a term for that: ŌĆ£Red Fir Roulette,ŌĆØ and you can ask Bob Solima about it. He saw plenty of action like that as longtime winter caretaker at Reds Meadow. ...
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this midterm election has been the swarm of negative Nevada TV ads from Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle and incumbent U.S. Democratic Senator Harry Reid.
To state the obvious, we do not live in Nevada. This is not our election. It seems absolutely obscene that we must be subjected to these repetitious, superfluous ads. They turn to gray, vision blurs and mute buttons are pushed.
Which is not to say that we wouldnŌĆÖt equally be inundated by ads for California governor, among others.
Caught between the Great Basin to the east and Mojave Desert to the south, halfway between Southern and Northern California, backed by some of the highest mountains on the continent, Mammoth is a study in convergences and contrasts.
Its weather is no exception. High mountains do make their own weather to some extent, or block, mitigate or amplify whatŌĆÖs already out there.
Add the fact that Mammoth is almost precisely on the forecasting boundary between Northern and Southern California.
The California Department of Fish and Game will meet in November to vote on a controversial measure that some say will impact private fish stocking operations throughout the Eastern Sierra.
Specifically, the measure would require any entity in the state that stocks its waters from a private or state-run fishery to pay for an environmental study to ensure the fish do not interfere with, or cause harm to, one of 87 species under concern.
While the DFG says Eastern Sierra operations will not be impacted, local fish farmers aren't convinced.
As if Jack Copeland doesnŌĆÖt have enough to do on Mammoth Mountain.
In an effort to more effectively train and retain its employees, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area (MMSA) has instituted a new management development initiative, headed by Copeland, the director of human resources at the ski hill.
The program is designed to identify employees with management aptitude and ambition and then properly teach them the fundamentals of leadership and management.
This new initiative will help to mentor, coach and track performance of new managers to help them improve.
In a national park loaded with unusual and fascinating sights, people camping in Yosemite earlier this month saw an unusual sight in the form of ... Oprah Winfrey?!?!?
In the park in early October to film two shows based on her experiences in the park, the media megastar and her friend spent two days and one night in and around Yosemite Valley, according to Donna Sisson, the branch chief for public involvement and outreach.
The shows are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 29 and Monday, Nov. 1.
As pot busts go, the Tuesday arrest of Mammoth resident James Carlson was over the top.
The bust was by Mono County sheriff deputies assigned to the Mono Narcotics Enforcement Team (MONET), according to a press release from the sheriff's office. One deputy as wearing in street clothes. The other deputy was wearing sweater over his uniform and a portion of his duty gun belt. Yet another, a specialist from the California Drug Enforcement Section, were traveling in an unmarked MONET vehicle on Frontage Road in Mammoth.
Following All Hallows Eve, trick-or-treaters trickle into the dentistŌĆÖs office to trade in their loot. At times, ŌĆ£weŌĆÖve seen great reluctance,ŌĆØ said local dentist Byron Sansom.
ŌĆ£Last year, a child came in with two bags. He said, ŌĆśyou can have this bag, but you canŌĆÖt have the other one,ŌĆÖŌĆØ referring to his personal stash.
Dr. Sansom transforms trick-or-treat with his second annual ŌĆścash for candyŌĆÖ event that captures the hearts of local kids, their parents, and military personnel. This year, he joins forces with a newly formed movement to focus on the troops who call Mono County home.
Workers at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area began making snow Monday night after temperatures dipped well into the 20s ŌĆō cold enough to start.
The snowmaking operation was still underway Tuesday afternoon on Broadway, with temperatures steady at 36 degrees and calm winds.
Snowmaking is possible only when the outside temperature is below 42.8 degrees F (six degrees C). On Monday night, the temperature at Main Lodge hovered in the mid- to low 30s for most of night, hitting its nadir at 29 degrees.
FDA Issues Consumer Safety Alert: HylandŌĆÖs Teething Tablets may pose a risk to children The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today is warning consumers that HylandŌĆÖs Teething Tablets may pose a risk to children, according to an FDA release forwarded by Mono County Public Health Officer Richard Johnson.
The FDA recommends that consumers not use this product and dispose of any in their possession. The manufacturer is issuing a recall of this product.
Yosemite National Park on Monday afternoon re-opened the Tioga Road after snow and icy conditions closed Tioga Pass on Saturday, according to Yosemite National Park's road information hotline.
The road is the popular east-west crossing of the Sierra Nevada through the park.
The Mammoth Town Council is now officially girding for a loss in the $30 million ongoing ŌĆ£Hot CreekŌĆØ airport litigation.
Based on the comments and questions made at a Sacramento hearing by a panel of judges, the Town Council concluded Wednesday that there is a significant risk that the trial court verdict will be upheld. A decision is expected within 90 days.
In preparation for a potential negative ruling, the Council is exploring options, town officials said in a press release Thursday afternoon. Among them are:
The Mammoth Huskies volleyball team raised its record to 7-3 on the season with a victory in four games over Desert Christian on Friday.
After dropping the first game, 25-20, the Huskies reeled off three straight wins, 25-21, 25-18 and 25-15.
Coach Megan Duffey singled out Jenny Clark for kudos. Clark had 10 digs, one kill and "really played a great defensive game," she said.
In addition:
* Kate Desalvo: 2 aces, 7 digs, 22 kills, 1 block
* Aly Vanko: 1 ace, 10 digs, 2 kills, 28 assists
* Sam Knadler: 11 digs, 6 kills
* Arely Bramona-Fierro: 1 ace, 5 digs, 3 assists

Blueberry Syrup
Blueberries have to be one of my favourite parts of summer and with blueberry season finally here I certainly have been enjoying them. So far I have mostly just been having them by the bucket load for breakfasts either on yogurt or mixed in with peaches or melon but it was finally time to do something more with them. One of the first things that comes to mind when I think about blueberries is almost always pancakes and I figured that it would be nice to kick the season off with some blueberry syrup. This syrup is pretty simple, you just simmer some water, sugar and blueberries to extract all of that amazing blueberry flavour and colour into the syrup and then strain the solids from it. With just a few minutes of effort you can elevate those average every day pancakes to something completely new and wonderful. But why stop there? There are some many things that you can do with this blueberry syrup and I am looking forward to using it.
Blueberry Simple Syrup

One who frequently indulges in the sweet aroma of pussy, or one who enjoys a nice big whiff of some sweet ass cooter, or one who enjoys vigorously snorting a clit.
Every where I go I can still smell Dean's mom's twat because I am such a cooter snooter. I love cooter snooting Dean's mom!!! She likes it when a little bit of her clit gets stuck in my nose. Dean's mom likes it in the ass too.

Cities and regions are becoming more important for economic growth partly driven by the global urbanization trend.
In a big part of the world we are dealing with the issue of changing population demographics & the ageing of our population. Do we really understand the impact of this changes & are we addressing it properly?
Governments across the world are looking at their governance models and adopting new public accounting standards like IPSAS.
Governments and NGO's are looking at the new role for the private sector in international development.
The worldwide financial crisis has accelerated the urgency of the public sector's adoption of the sustainability agenda.
The challenges that CEOs perceive are—perhaps not surprisingly—the same issues that we at PwC confront every day.
Seizing the day: The impact of the global financial crisis on cities and local public servicesThis publication gauges the reactions, & understands the responses, of local government leaders to the global financial crisis. This is based on the findings of an international survey of cities & local governments comprising a total population of over 120 million people. |
Global green policy insightsGovernment and business leaders, members of civil society and the world's press convened in Rio de Janeiro for the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. |
International public sector accounting standards (IPSAS)IPSAS provides high-quality transparent financial statements and enables sound public-finance management and improved operational performance. PwC's Public Sector practice offers IPSAS conversion consulting for government organisations. |
Making it happen: A roadmap for cities and local public servicesIn this PwC report, we identify the essential success factors for the execution of a city's strategy. Developing a clear vision and internal management capabilities allows a city to prioritise, invest in and strategically manage the building blocks or 'capital' needed by any city for long-term prosperity - social, environmental, cultural, intellectual, infrastructural, ICT and political participation. |

An outbreak of spruce beetles exploded across the forests of Southwest Colorado last year, according to the results of an aerial survey released Wednesday.
The outbreak will erase some of the region�s high-altitude stands of trees for many decades.
�The forest is ripe for the beetle to move through,� said Bob Cain, a U.S. Forest Service entomologist.
The drought, dense stands of mature trees and warm winters all make for ideal conditions for the beetles, which bore into trees to feed and lay eggs.
The size of the active outbreak more than doubled in a year. The annual study found spruce beetles active on 311,000 acres, including 183,000 acres that weren�t detected in the 2011 survey. The outbreak has covered more than 1,400 square miles since it began in 1996.
�Even our acre numbers we get from the aerial survey don�t really capture it,� Cain said.
Infected trees often take a couple years to die, so the infestation will look even more widespread by next year, Cain said. Beetles grow to adulthood inside trees and then take off to infect new trees. The flight in 2012 was �enormous,� according to the aerial survey report.
On the bright side, Cain said, many spruce forests are mixed with subalpine fir, which are not affected by the spruce beetles.
But spruce trees regrow slowly. Where the beetles hit stands of pure spruce, most people won�t live long enough to see mature trees return to the site.
Although Colorado has several pockets of spruce beetle outbreaks, the hardest-hit areas are in the Rio Grande, San Juan and Gunnison national forests. The most visible outbreak is along Wolf Creek Pass, but there are even bigger infestations in the Weminuche and La Garita wilderness areas and around the town of Creede.
The U.S. Forest Service and Colorado State Forest Service cooperate on the annual survey. Officials from both agencies used the survey�s release to promote increased logging in beetle-infected areas.
�The spruce beetle epidemic in our high-elevation forests demonstrates the breadth and complexity of issues affecting Colorado�s forests,� said Joe Duda, director of the Colorado State Forest Service, in a prepared statement. �Active forest management and a viable forest products industry will allow landowners and land-management agencies to expand forest treatments on lands available for management while reducing wildfire risk and protecting important natural resources and infrastructure.�
But logging remains controversial. Environmental groups including Rocky Mountain Wild won a lawsuit in early 2012 to prevent logging on 3,500 acres of spruce in Rio Grande National Forest.
Josh Pollock of Rocky Mountain Wild said the beetles are a natural part of the ecosystem, and land managers need to carefully pick the areas they will log, with an emphasis on protecting human settlements.
�Let�s be cautious about having an increase in beetle-killed trees be a reason for harvesting trees deep into the backcountry,� Pollock said.
Elsewhere in Colorado, the mountain pine beetle outbreak slowed noticeably in 2012.
The pine beetle has claimed 3.4 million acres of lodgepole and ponderosa pine since 1996, but the infestation expanded by just 31,000 acres last year, mostly near Fort Collins.

Traditional Chinese medicine states that digestive discomfort is experienced when the stomach and spleen aren't functioning as they should. Our Digestion Blend is formulated to help calm the stomach, support the spleen, eliminate dampness and disperse stagnation.
Only Natural Pet Chinese Herbal Blends are made with the highest quality sulfur-free and GMP-certified Chinese herbs. They are liquid extracts to ensure rapid absorption. We use organic alcohol and pure vegetable glycerin as a base for both optimum potency and taste.
About Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies
Our Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies have evolved from the work of holistic veterinarians and experienced herbalists to bring you a wide selection of natural health care products for your animal companion. Herbal formulas are easy to administer and easy for your pet to assimilate, making these treatments both simple and effective. Herbs are also great natural sources of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, and many other nourishing substances.
Only the finest herbs are used in our formulas, and the careful selection and blending of these herbs helps them interact synergistically for stronger, more beneficial effects. Nothing is more natural than harnessing the healing powers of the herbs and flowers around us. When ill or injured, animals in the wild have an uncanny ability to seek out and eat plants with properties that will help them heal.
Natural therapies like our herbal formulas do not just attack the symptoms of a disorder. Instead they rebuild your companion's total health and facilitate their body's innate ability to heal itself. When natural remedies are used in conjunction with a nutritious diet, your pet can enjoy a healthier life.
The effectiveness of Digestion Chinese Herbal Blend, as with ANY herbal or natural remedy, varies with the health of the animal. An animal being fed a high quality diet with adequate vitamins and enzymes will respond better than an animal on a poor quality diet. Each animal's system needs support in healing from within. Please see our article, "What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food," for information about feeding the best quality diet.
Available in 2 oz (60 ml) liquid. Each 2 oz bottle contains approximately 1,050 drops.

Yes He Can
By Suzi the Cat Lady
from Gold Beach, OR
This product is so easy to give to my cat that eats every critter he can find regardless of stomach issues, throwing up, or just plain not feeling good. This was a fabulous find. I just put it in his wet food and no more tummy problems.

Packs a punch!
By Suzi
My cat was so sick after getting ahold of some paper that had raw chicken in it. The vet sent home some anti biotic that made him sicker. A couple of drops in his food of the Chinese Herbal Digestion and he was fine the next day. I can't say enough goood things about this product. I use Chinese Herbal products for all of my cats and it works wonders.

Holiday Mantel
(I want to thank Lavender Garden Cottage for featuring this post!)
Hello, everyone! Well, now that the Holiday Open House at the shop has come and gone, it's time to decorate my house! I started with something easy-the mantel. After playing around a little, I decided to just keep it very simple. I recently bought this coffee filter wreath, and I used it as a starting point. I know all you crafty girls can whip these up, but yours truly decided to take the easy way out, and have someone make it for me! :) I love the gold ribbon, and the little vintage picture tucked inside.
I bought this huge chalkboard over the summer (for a steal!) and I thought it would look fun with the wreath hung on it and something festive written on it. I wrote what would fit of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.'
Reindeer are one of my favorite things to decorate with, and I discovered these 2 sparkly gold ones packed away among my Christmas stuff. They add a little whimsy, and co-ordinate with the wreath and its gold ribbon.
I placed one reindeer on each end of the chalkboard, but the middle space looked bare. After rooting around in my Christmas bins, I found some little sparkly gold ornaments, and simply lined them up. They fill in the space, and continue the gold-toned color scheme.
My dad found these small ice skates in my parents' basement and brought them over. Imagine my surprise (and delight!) when he told me that they were mine when I was little! How have I never seen these before? I promptly hung them above the fireplace!
Here's the finished product. See...simple, but fun!! (At least I think so :)
So there you have it-my mantel, ready for Christmas! Now I'm off to decorate some more spaces, which I'll be sharing soon. Until then, have a fabulous day!

Your mantel is looking beautiful! You've really put me in the mood to decorate. I really want to make a coffee filter wreath as well. Maybe I'll do that too. The ice skates and the gold ornaments are lovely. Great chalkboard too! Have a wonderful holiday season! ~ Jamie P.S. The books are the perfect touch. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Susan! As always! I have a couple pairs of skates this year. The smaller pair I've had for awhile - I laced them with hot pink ribbon several years ago and they have stayed that way! The larger pair I just found at a garage sale - they have really cool old wooden skate guards on them!

Belem and Lisbon
Trip Start
Mar 02, 2009
Trip End
May 25, 2009
Tues April 7 at 8 AM. We had to get used to the noises of 1 million people packed in such a small area, together. The building we were in was very noisy. It took us a little bit of time and effort to figure out the transit system. Even finding the train station was difficult. The streets don't follow any grid. We spend the first day together at Costa da Caparica. Ben begins his body boarding practice. By the end of our trip he hopes to be surfing. Thursday April 9 we take the train into Lisbon from Amora. Visit the Belem area , Monastery and a naval museum. We had tarts at the famous Belem store that has been making them since 1828 or something. We took the touristy choo choo train [which is really a bus] for a tour through Belem. We saw some foreign embassies homes and had a nice stop at a very old church with a scenic view of Lisbon and the harbour and ocean. On Friday we took the train into the Oceanarium in Lisbon. It was a very beautiful ocean aquarium with Ocean sunfish and sharks and tuna and everything!. Built for 1998 world expo, along with the Vasca da Gama bridge [the one in the picture is the point da 25 Abril-the Portuguese day of liberation. Lovely waterfront. On Saturday the 10th of April we visited the harbour and fishermen of Amora. We stopped at a little restaurant looking for fresh fish and stayed for barbecued sardines. They were better than I expected. Tina didn't like them with their fish heads but we ate 12 in all. Many of the restaurants use a charcoal grill for the seafood and we were often enthralled with the types of fish they eat! Ugh. The food is often served with salad Mista -a basic tomato and sweet onion salad that is served with a sprinkle of salt and Olive oil and vinegar are served with it. We ate so much of this salad! We loved the olives from the market as well. The Portuguese diet is mostly seafood-of course but they eat salted cod from our Canadian Atlantic about 3 x week. More about this in the last Blog entry. There is a surprisingly small number or types of vegetables available. Lots of lovely fruit=we enjoyed kilos of sweet cherries and strawberries. The Vospers leave on Sunday for a stay in their condo in Malaga.
April 14 2009
We drive toward Setubal from Amora. Stopped to visit and walk on a section of 200 yr old roman road with mile posts. Very cool. This was near Palmela [ we go to the Palmela Castle once before leaving.] We then stopped to visit Azeitao and a tile factory and store. Tiles are called Azeulio's. I bought some and mike takes pictures. We then drive to Lagoa de Albufeira, a beach that has a lagoon and fish farms. It is close to the 3rd castle before Lisbon at Seismbra [we didn't go to see this one. They are Templar and then Moorish and apparently the King could communicate castle to castle and know things within hours. Pretty impressive. Thursday we stop in Lisbon to get the rad fixed. We had a lovely touristy day with just Grace [teens are Bored.] and saw the castle Sao Jorge after a lovely trolley car ride. We were sure to repeat the experience again with Max and Wendy upon their return [we made sure Emma and Ben suffered thru it with Max to urge them on-while we walked around the spectacular neighbourhood. This was of course after the cork factory tour [did you know they made Cork Pants in the 60's!] and many dinners at the local " Ricks" restaurant and many beach days. Enjoyed watching the fisherman haul their boats our of the water in the sand. The boats are highly decorated. We hand picked 2 beautiful fish that looked like Chrome Bass. Oh we also got to hear the Ukrainian National Orchestra play Brahms Symphony # 4 at the Cultural Centre in Belem, followed by an afternoon at the Modern are Gallery [free!!] with Francis Bacon, David Hockney and a Warhol portrait of Judy Garland. We enjoyed it very much [again Sans teens!]
Wed April 25th
Managed to meet up with Adi a navigator sailor we met at "Ricks" We had a tour of his boat and the work he is doing on it. We get his help to fix up our care and make local connections. he was a nice friend. We had a wonderful day in Sintra even though the ancient cities narrow hilly cobblestone roads made driving tricky. Had amazing day in Sintra at the toy museum and had an amazing Indian meal which we artfully made sure contained No nuts [ Ben's allergy.]MMmm good food..
30 April we went on vacation within a vacation to Isle da Armona . We are S of Olhao and take an old wooden ferry boat to the island of armona where we rent a bungalow at the campsites for 60 Euro/night. Orbitur campsights were a great find, because the hotels usually made us buy 2 rooms for the 5 of us.
Mike teased it included fee sea food.We go to the beach at the Island and the tide goes out early and everyone starts digging for clams in the tidal flats. Ben and Emma and Grace go digging for clans and clean a small bag full. they find a couple of oysters as well. Emma found a largish crab and took it back to the cabana and boiled and ate it. She said it was sweet and tasty. I cleared the clams with several baths of salt water and the British couple also suggested we cook them in wine. No problem. Loved them, wasn't so sure about the oysters -either raw or cooked.
Mike waxed poetic.. "white Iberian cranes take flight from the fields of oak cork forests. The aloe verra plants are sprouting humongous flowering sprouts that look first like over sized asparagus sprouts. They eventually grow to look like thin pine trees."
From here we go to enjoy the most amazing party fair -a fieria in Spanish, in the town of Rota. Our host Jamie explains the Spanish even schedule in a holiday Monday called "hangover day." Gotta love those Spanish. We were sorry the day we left -not just because we had to leave but we were said for our friends who's dog Arf died -while we were visiting. Very Sad, Great dog. Looking forward to visit from Kelly soon.

text: This spring Travis Rice decided to send one of his new pro-model snowboards out into the world as a sort of social art experiment. Only three rules were laid down to take part. If you come across the board: 1. Do something cool with it, 2. Post a picture and 3. Pass the board on to someone else. In the past few months the board has made it across the world and back. We thought we'd check in on its progress so far.

Top Definition
A punk band from Santa Cruz, California. They released their first full-length album, Homecoming, in 1998. They were thought to be on the verge of breaking up in 2004, but soon came back with a new release, E.P.IDEMIC. Their sound is definitely polished since the days of their original E.P., and they are by all means on the rise. They've toured with Yellowcard and are a fine example of indie punk. Craig's Brother includes original members Ted Bond on vocals, Heath Konkel on drums, and Scott Hrapoff on bass. New members are Glade Wilson and Adam Smith on guitar.
Craig's Brother has a wide range of influences, including Faith No More and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

There really needs to be a 765. The price jump between the 760 and 770 is huge with the performance being notably better (not worth the extra $ IMO, though - the 760 is powerful enough to run most games well).
These benchmarks would actually be helpful, if they contained AMD CPU and GPUs as well as Intel CPUs. Just Nvidia is pretty useless..
Yeah, Nvidia's OpenCL is not good and CUDA is way better. Though having the numbers for comparison would be great and add some value to the article. Right now it's just a comparison of Nvidia cards with themself

I attend a group that listens to the Joe and Charlie tapes. If any one ever gets the chance to hear them. Take it. They are geat. They simplify the progam. And explain so much.
Any way, the last tape I listened to was about step 5. Going to an open minded close mouth friend. Preferably your sponsor. Step 5 is about honesty. I never looked at it in this way before. We as alcoholics have a problem with honesty. That I knew. But the biggest problem with honesty is recognizing our inablitiy to be honest with ourselfs. That's why all this stuff we are working on and collecting has to be gone over with another person. I can't always see when I'm not being honest with myself. I have spent so many years selling my crap that I never realised, I bought all of it too. In fact I bought more than I sold. Imagine that.

About this font family
The Rotis family was designed in 1989 by Otl Aicher for Agfa; his last type design.
Rotis pioneered the idea of matching subfamilies: Sans Serif, Semi Sans, Semi Serif, and Serif. Readily identifiable in all four subfamilies is the leftward leaning upper and lowercase C.
The typefaces share weights, heights, and proportions, making this a functional mix-and-match family for a variety of uses, from lengthy text setting to short captions to headlines.

Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
Perusing the writings of atheistic scientists and philosophers like Daniel Dennett, one could easily get the impression that arriving at a simpler explanation for something equates to a revelation that things are "lower, cruder, and more trivial."
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
For many, the importance of apparent randomness in evolution can be a major stumbling block when considering whether God could have created through an evolutionary process.

Background Info.
History: Ahri was born in a village that was far seperated from the rest of the Ninja World in the sea that holds the Land of Water in it. Her village was a small village that had a stable living community and a small ninja program that was used to defend from neighboring pirates in the lands nearby. The land used mostly fish and very simple crops to provide food for the people and at times, there would be minor shortages of food but the people would trust in each other to ration food properly. When Ahri was born in the village, she was raised by her parents in the kindest and loving way. She wanted to make everyone around her just as happy as she was while she grew up.
When she turned 5, she was enrolled in the small ninja academy so that she could learn to defend herself from anybody that would harm her. Her class contained about 4 other people and they were all very close, Riven, Shen, Kennen, and Akali. Riven and Ahri were very closely friends since before joining the academy and were friends since there parents allowed them to play together as young children. Ahri did not show the proper attributes of being a ninja but the reason for the classes was to train her to defend herself and to learn about the Ninja World. However, since the village was isolated off from the mainland, they learned out-of-date information and were getting lessons on the time of when the villages were just forming. This was also when Ahri learned the tale of the Juubi and the division of the Juubi into the 9 tailed beasts. When Ahri learned of the Nine-Tailed Fox, she imagined the fox as a young woman that had nine tails, rather then an actual fox.
While training in the ninja academy, she trained to master a basic element, but she showed no real skill in any of the basic five elements. However, her friend Riven learned to control earth very soon after joining the academy and was seen as a prodigy in comparison to the other students that had been on the island. Riven also was very interested in the art of the sword and took an interesting in immense broadswords. She soon learned to wield one but not with particular skill and over the years, she would refine her ability. Shen at the time was training in the mastery of stealth and toughening his own body. Kennen, although small, built very powerful muscles in his legs so that he could move quickly. He also learned the lightning element after a short time of joining the academy and used his speed in combination with his lightning jutsu to fight offensively. Akali was lazy and trained in all basic areas of ninjutsu so that she could be effective in any situation.
Ahri, feeling behind on her abilities, trained continuously so that she could keep up with the others but she steadily fell behind and one day, pirates would attack their small village.
The pirates came at dusk while people were readying for dinner. The pirates that had attacked the island however were not pirates and were fleeing Kekkai Genkai shinobi from the Land of Water that needed refuge. The 5 ninja, still gennin level, were asked to evacuate the people to safety boats that were located near the shore while the older and more powerful ninja held them off for a short time before fleeing with them. As Ahri the others evacuated them, a few other shinobi came in to seize the Kekkai Genkai shinobi but due to their incompetence, they attacked the villagers and Ahri and others were forced to fight them off for a short time. During the short fight, Ahri would "sacrifice" herself to allow the others to leave with the villagers. The shinobi would apprehend Ahri and bring her unto their ship as a prisoner.
They took Ahri and they soon realized that she wasn't a shinobi with a Kekkai Genkai ability and so they realized that they were attacking people without Kekkai Genkai, innocent people. They kept Ahri as a prisoner in order to not allow her to tell people of their accidental slaughter.
After being taken prisoner however, the shinobi were ambushed by the Kekkai Genkai shinobi from before and during the battle, Ahri escaped onto the Kekkai Genkai shinobis' boat. As the Kekkai Genkai shinobi defeat them, they find the stow-away and realize quickly that she isn't a Kirigakure shinobi and take her in. They would inspect her for any signs of sealing upon her but would not find anything out of the ordinary except for a birthmark on her right palm. They sent her to the Dark Release users so that they would see if this birthmark would be any relation to her being able to use Dark Release, she would be able to in time.
As she traveled with the shinobi, she learned from truely powerful shinobi and learned how to manipulate all the elements masterfully but showing true potential in earth and lightning elements but she hadn't unlocked her ability to use Dark Release yet. She spent many years training with them.
One night, the boat was ambushed by a small, elite group of shinobi. When Ahri came to defend the boat, she fought with the three attackers and was able to hold them off a long time until she realized who they were. They were her four childhood friends that she loved and cherished. When she asked why they were attacking the boat, they responded that the Kekkai Genkai shinobi attacked and killed a large part of the villagers and killing off her own parents. When they told her this, Ahri, in a deep confusion about what happened to her loved ones, erupted in anger, the first time she had ever felt true hate for anyone, and released multiple surges of dark chakra through her palm and destroyed the boat and formed a large whirlpool that separated everyone.
Ahri would land in the land of Kirigakure upon the shores and meet with an elderly lady that would give her guidance. The elderly woman helped Ahri in the land and taught her of the world and what it was now since Ahri showed no real knowledge of the world. She would also notice her Dark Release mark and tell her to hide it while she stayed in Kirigakure due to the purges. While travelling through Kirigakure in search of her friends, she saw the horrors of the purges and what happened in the land and so she felt the need to protect them from any dangers.
Knowing that people would easily recognize her if she just helped people directly, she created a disguise to look like the envisioned Nine-Tails Fox and so she went about saving people while in search of her friends. At this time, she learned the mists and land of Kirigakure very well and was able to navigate through the mist in a short time, learning to rely on her other senses. She would become known for saving shinobi with Kekkai Genkai and returning people's attacks back onto them. She would never find her close friends while in Kirigakure. Knowing that they would have washed up somewhere else, she would leave Kirigakure after saying good-bye to her older friend and leave to Kumogakure.
While in Kumogakure, she met with the people there who had been experimenting with their own Jinchuuriki and when Ahri told them that she was the Nine-Tailed Fox, they laughed at her and brought her to their Raikage. The Raikage had an outrageous laugh and would allow Ahri to stay in Kumogakure as long as she kept on her Nine-Tails disguise because it gave him a laugh. Ahri didn't appreciate him but it would become her new home for the time being and she would adapt to the harsh conditions quickly, as well as opening a large tavern with her friend Makise Kurisu.
Ahri still hasn't found her friends.
