Organic heirloom carrots are easy to grow and a wonderful source of Vitamin A!
Heirloom Carrot Climatic Requirements: The heirloom carrot is a hardy, cool season crop that can be planted in the garden as soon as the organic soil can be prepared in the spring. Organic carrots require relatively large amounts of moisture and are not tolerant of drought.
Prolonged hot weather in the later stages of development may not only retard growth but result in an undesirable strong flavor and coarseness in the roots. At the other extreme, prolonged temperatures below 55 degrees F tend to make the roots longer, more slender and paler in color than expected. The best temperature for highest quality organic roots is between 60 and 70 degrees F.

Negative social exchanges with family, friends, and neighbors are known to be an important source of stress in daily life, and chronic stress is theorized to have especially potent impacts on health. Little is known about the health effects of stably high levels of negative social exchanges, however. In a national, longitudinal study of older adults (N = 666), we examined the association between stable negative social exchanges and health over a 2-year period. Trait-state-error models indicated that higher levels of stable negative social exchanges were significantly predictive of lower self-rated health, greater functional limitations, and a higher number of health conditions over 2 years after controlling for initial levels of health and sociodemographic variables. These results highlight the importance of examining continual and recurring interpersonal problems in efforts to understand the health effects of social relationships.

Sports Illustrated has a special regional cover of the San Diego Chargers in this week's publication. In his cover package feature story, Road to Redemption, SI senior writer Lee Jenkins writes of the San Diego Chargers, a team left for dead during the season but forged past the Indianapolis Colts in the wildcard game and on to a divisional-round matchup with mighty Pittsburgh (page 30).
Jenkins writes: "The Chargers made that choice [not to give up] as a group on Nov. 30, after they'd lost to the Atlanta Falcons at home to fall to 4–8. When coach Norv Turner finished addressing the team, running back LaDainian Tomlinson stepped to the middle of the locker room. 'We're not going to quit,' he said. 'We're not the Raiders.' San Diego became the first 4-8 team in NFL history to go on to make the playoffs and, on Saturday night at Qualcomm, the first 8–8 team to win an AFC playoff game. 'It's amazing how quickly people forget you were 8–8,' said [Chargers QB Philip] Rivers."

'The Hills' Spin-Off Gets Green Light
MTV will bring "The City", "The Hills" spin-off, into materialization. Recently, E! News has confirmed the earlier speculation on the development of the reality series spin-off mentioning that the pickup has been done within the last two weeks, though the publication didn't specifically note when exactly.
The new series will be focused on the life of Lauren Conrad's friend and former work colleague in Teen Vogue and The People's Revolution, Whitney Port, in New York City where she now works for fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg. It is said that the show will be kicking off its shooting soon as a source was quoted by E! saying, "They will start shooting immediately."
Meanwhile, "The Hills" itself follows the drama in the life of Conrad and her friends, including Heidi Montag and Audrina Patridge, in Los Angeles after Conrad leaves her homes in Laguna Beach, California. The show is currently undergoing its fourth season. It is aired every Monday at 10:00 P.M. on MTV.

Calls for Welsh teachers to look abroad to find jobs
New teachers in Wales are being warned they may have to consider working elsewhere in the UK and even abroad because of a shortage of job vacancies.
The recruitment firm Eteach say such a move could make thousands better teachers in the long term and help strengthen the education sector in Wales when these teachers eventually move back.
Latest figures from the Welsh Government show over 1400 students completed a course in ITT (Initial Teacher Training) in 2013/14.
There are calls for these newly-qualified teachers to start their careers overseas or in England, where over a third (37%) of schools are facing a shortage of teachers.
According to Eteach, 3,395 jobs were available in Wales between May 2015 and April 2016. That's compared to over 30,000 in England and over 48,000 at international schools abroad.
We should take a leaf out of the book of what the Australians and New Zealanders have been doing for years - they want their young people to go out into the world and bring that experience back and improve their own country.
That's what we're looking at - giving our young graduates the opportunity to experience another culture, another way of working, another way of living and when they come back to Wales they're going to be better teachers"

Claims of extremist views in Cardiff classroom
A former teacher has told a national newspaper that they encountered extremist views in a Cardiff classroom.
In an article on the 'Mail on Sunday', the teacher writes that some of the students thought those behind the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris and the murder of Lee Rigby, were heroes. Whilst the teacher adds that the majority of students were 'lovely' and 'respectful', they claim the school failed to respond effectively to those showing extreme views.
In a statement to ITV News, the school says that is not the case:
"Anyone who knows Fitzalan would not recognise the picture of the school that is being painted here. In a recent peer review, visiting teachers recognised how positive the atmosphere is at the school.
"Fitzalan is a very popular and over-subscribed school, serving a diverse community. The school population is made up of children and young people from 40 different nationalities and a number of religions.
"The school is actively engaged in the work of Prevent. It is fully committed to the safeguarding of children and young people and it works proactively on countering extremism.
"Staff are fully trained in how to identify the early signs of extremism. They understand the work of Prevent. They know how to respond and they know how to get help, guidance and intervention.
"Where concerns arise, the school is quick to respond and follow up appropriately. Prevent staff are complimentary of the work being done at Fitzalan."

School closes after thieves rip lead from roof
A school has been forced to close after thieves stole lead from its roof - and caused £5,000 worth of damage.
More than 100 children at St Monica's Church in Wales school were evacuated after rain water leaked in.
It damaged ceilings, lights and electrical sockets - leaving the school in Cathays, Cardiff, as unsafe.
Thieves are believed to have torn away the lead roofing over the weekend leading to children's work being ruined.
We had water running through the ceilings, we had it running through the sockets, through all the light fittings and we had a lot of standing water. It was a very dangerous situation.
The thing that's most upsetting really is that we've had to take all of the children's work down, their displays, it's damaged books and book cases.

The alleged 'reporter' who wrote this story evidently failed basic English grammar. English grammar now being taught in our school systems, including the higher ranked ones, is apparent in much of the print media and TV media. Schools are too busy teaching 'social issues'.

Given the compounded misery stuffed into this gruesome play, you might think that's the lesson here. You'd be wrong.

Review by John Freeman
For more than 50 years now, MIT linguist Noam Chomsky has been a skeptic of states—in particular, the United States—and how they use power. Why should a language guy care about such matters? "Intellectuals are in a position to expose the lies of governments," he explained in his 1969 essay collection American Power and the New Mandarins. And as residents of a free country, he concluded, American intellectuals have even more responsibility to wisely use their freedom to expose the abuse of official power.

Hillary Clinton is doing another campaign push for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, but she's apparently being careful not to take on Republican VP hopeful Sarah Palin in any way that might signal "cat fight" to those media types watching for any hint of such a conflict between Clinton and Palin.
Really? Was that the best they could do? Hillary Clinton calmly dismissed the action of chauvinistic attendees at a Salem, N.H., rally who yelled "Iron my shirt!" repeatedly as she was talking. "Ah, the remnants of sexism—alive and well," Clinton quipped, to the approval of the rest of the audience.

Wausau Paper reports first-quarter loss, reversing a year-ago profit
Wausau Paper Corp. reported a first-quarter loss Monday as the Mosinee-based papermaker continues to restructure itself on multiple fronts under pressure from its biggest shareholder.
Wausau Paper lost $29 million, or 60 cents a share, compared with net income of $9.76 million, or 20 cents, in the year-earlier quarter. Sales fell 13% to $187.9 million from $216.2 million.
The company, which is one of Wisconsin's oldest paper makers, has rapidly been closing and selling paper mills. It also sold all its commercial timberlands, which once were the source of its pulp.
Wausau Paper has been under pressure for two years from Manhattan hedge fund Starboard Value LP, its largest single shareholder. In the view of Starboard, the only Wausau Paper mills with worthwhile profits are in Kentucky and Ohio. They produce the sort of paper toweling used in public restrooms.
Even after all the restructuring costs are stripped out, Wausau Paper reported a loss of $1.7 million, or 4 cents a share, in the recent quarter compared with first quarter 2012 earnings, excluding discontinued operations and special items of $4.8 million, or 10 cents.
In the latest quarter, Wausau Paper announced it would shut its mill in Brainerd, Minn., but only after investing millions to upgrade the mill. It announced plans to sell its final two remaining mills in Wisconsin to a private equity firm. And it formally announced that it will focus only on towel and tissue paper, mainly at its mill in Kentucky.
Starboard also wants Wausau Paper to close its headquarters in Mosinee, which would eliminate any presence for the company in Wisconsin.
Before earnings were released, Wausau Paper shares closed down 6 cents at $10.17.

We are a small family of 3 living in Dubrovnik (very south of Croatia) but in love with a beautiful city of Zagreb which we consider as our second home... We like meeting new people, travelling around the globe and a lot of stuff that include relaxing and fun and new experiences...
Since both of us are in travel business and are not always present in Zagreb, with a help and support of our wonderful friend, our guests are always warmly welcomed to our apartment.
Let us know a few days before what time you will arrive so we can organize :)

Heat & humidity will begin moving into the region today as a breezy southerly wind develops over the province, tapping into a much warmer air mass over the Northern Plains of the United States.
A potent low pressure complex developing over the western Prairies & Northern Plains will bring a thunderstorm threat back to Southern Manitoba today with the southwestern corner of the province under the threat for thunderstorms—potentially severe—this afternoon and this evening, while the Red River Valley and southeastern Manitoba seeing the threat move in this evening and into Saturday morning.
Before that, though, Winnipeg & the Red River Valley will have a fairly nice day ahead. Temperatures will soar through the morning, reaching within a degree or two of today's high temperature of 28°C by lunch. Skies will be mixed today with cloudier conditions developing in the afternoon. Southerly winds to 30-40km/h will pick up through the day across much of Southern Manitoba, drawing moisture from the United States northwards into the province. By late afternoon, dew point values in the Red River Valley will climb to the 16-18°C range1 while in the southwest corner of the province, dew point values may reach the 20°C mark, making for very humid feeling conditions.
As the afternoon wears on, a leading shortwave lifting out of Montana will destabilize conditions over southern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba, bringing a threat of thunderstorms to the region. There's a slight chance that some of these thunderstorms may become severe. The threats from these storms will be:
- Rainfall: Precipitable water values of 35-45 mm combined with storm motions of 20-30km/h will produce very intense rainfall, but the storms will be moving quickly enough that the overall rainfall accumulations will be limited.
- Hail: With MLCAPE values in the 1500-2500 J/kg range and ample shear present, storms will likely take the form of discrete supercells early in their life cycle. These storms will be capable of producing large, damaging hail.
- Wind: Overall, wind won't be a widespread threat with these storms, but isolated damaging wind gusts are possible.
- Tornadoes: The supercell thunderstorms in southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba will be in environments with very strong directional shear. A small chance of a tornado or two exists with these storms.
As we move into the evening, scattered showers or thunderstorms are possible over the Red River Valley while the thunderstorms closer to the SK/MB border continue onwards and grow into a larger complex of thunderstorms that will push eastwards overnight. Instability actually increases overnight as moisture continues to be pumped northwards along the low-level jet ahead of the incoming shortwave. As a result, a large area of rain and thunderstorms will likely progress eastwards overnight, reaching the Red River Valley between 3 and 6AM. These thunderstorms will present a slight risk of severe weather with primary threats of rain and large hail, with a secondary threat of damaging wind gusts.
Worth noting: if the western shortwave offering support to this system ends up slowing down, the overnight thunderstorm activity may diminish over southwestern Manitoba.
Temperatures will remain very warm on Friday night with overnight lows near 20°C in the Red River Valley.
Saturday: Muggy with Continued Thunderstorm Threat
Saturday will start with whatever convection moving through on Friday night exiting the region, and we'll be left with very humid conditions with dew point values likely climbing to 20-21°C. Temperatures will climb towards the mid-20's through the morning under fairly cloudy skies, but conditions will undergo a fairly significant change midday as a cold front sweeps through. The passage of this front will bring another threat of showers and thunderstorms to the region and with MLCAPE values near 1500-2000 J/kg and ample shear, these will also have bring the threat of severe weather with rainfall, winds and hail a concern.
Once the front passes, gusty westerly winds will usher in drier air as dew point values plummet into the single digits, bringing relief from the humidity. Skies will begin clearing as well, likely providing some afternoon/evening sunshine. Temperatures will likely top out at only 24 or 25°C, though, and a cooler night will be ahead with lows near 15°C.
Dreary End to the Weekend
Saturday night's clear skies will be replaced by cloud on Sunday as the main upper-level low of this whole weather system moves through the region. It will bring showers to much of Southern Manitoba with most of the activity through the morning hours and then tapering off through the afternoon. Temperatures will be much cooler with a high near 17 or 18°C and strong northwesterly winds of 40 gusting 60 km/h picking up by the end of the morning.
The winds will taper off overnight as the valley heads to a low near 11°C.
Winnipeg's seasonal daytime high is currently 24°C while the seasonal overnight low is 12°C.
- At a dew point of 16-18°C, it begins to feel mildly muggy. ↩

Just Keeping It Real . . .
I'm abrasive and confrontational, especially if it is over something I care deeply about. He avoids conflict at all costs.
I jump in with both feet as soon as I get an idea, then figure out how to fix what I did wrong. He thinks about any idea for a long time, reads every book available on the subject, researches every website and blog post ever written about it, then takes forever to decide how to proceed.
I hate change, any change. Moving is about as close to torture as anything I've ever experienced. He has no real attachment to place so moving is not a big deal to him.
I am always doing something. Even if I'm sitting still I'm making a list, crocheting, reading, or making some sort of art. He can sit in front of the TV and watch comedy shows or sci-fi or golf, and do nothing else, except maybe take a nap, for hours.
I like sappy romantic comedies and absolutely nothing that could qualify as scary to a 5 year old. He likes sci-fi and slapstick comedy.
My projects and their messes make him a little crazy but he doesn't complain much. His piles make me crazy and I complain all the time.
I ask a million questions a day. He hates answering questions.
I see the negatives. He sees the possibilities.
I make artistic creations. He makes magic on a piano.
He drives me nuts, and not always in a good way.
He snores.
He sweats 365 days a year, 24 hours a day in any kind of weather.
His laundry could quite possible qualify for toxic waste.
There is no remedy for his stinky feet.
And I often swear he doesn't really speak English.
But . . . I absolutely adore him.
He is brilliant.
The talent that God has gifted him with is beyond my comprehension.
The music that he can make come out of a keyboard is simply amazing. And there is not one iota of vanity in the man.
He loves Jesus with all his heart.
And best of all, he adores me, too.
Marriage. It's hard. It's not always fun. But so, so worth fighting for!

Things I need to eliminate . . . journal prompt
For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to reevaluate my time, predominantly on social media. I'm spending way too much time checking notifications and reading things that are interesting, but not really of life changing importance. So I've been consistently eliminating those I get notifications from and some that I follow on twitter. Next is Facebook. Then Instagram. It's amazing how much time these things can eat away before I even realize it.
So here is my goal for the rest of the week. ELIMINATE! Stop wasting time on things that don't matter.
I need to eliminate . . . things that don't immediately impact my life or have significance for my future or my family's future.
Which means I need to eliminate
. . . most of the notifications I get from Twitter,
. . . most of what I read on Facebook,
. . . a lot of what I scroll through on Instagram.
I love looking through all my social media. Unfortunately, I love it too much.
So, to all my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram 'friends', most of you will not be seeing me around much. At least that's the plan. If I am still commenting on your posts, you must of made the cut. Congratulations. LOL! To the rest of you, adios, amigos! Nothing personal! I just need my life back from my phone.
Are there things you need to eliminate?

What if . . . JOURNAL PROMPT
When I started working with Celebrate Recovery, one of the men who started this ministry in our church told me it would be the hardest ministry I had ever done. I didn't doubt that. But I had no idea how God would open my eyes to things in such dramatic ways, and how he would use the women I was ministering to in ways I could not have imagined, to change my heart and bring healing to me.
Recently one of the ladies I've been mentoring for a few weeks moved out of the transition home she has been living in since being released from prison into an inner city ministry home. The day she was moving I picked her up along with her meager belongings. We spent the day together along with my youngest daughter. We ran errands, had a nice long lunch together and then moved her things into her new home. While we were running errands I took her by to see the home that my husband and I moved out of almost 2 years ago after 8 break-ins. The last year or so that we lived there I never walked out my door without being armed because of the crime all around us. I had become so angry with the whole situation that I lived with the constant thought that eventually someone would break in our home while I was in the house, and I would probably shoot someone and kill them. The pattern the criminals used in my neighborhood was for 3 minors to break in, one adult to drive, and another person to be the lookout. Knowing that if I ended up shooting someone, it would probably be a teenager, bothered me at first. But by the time we moved, I really didn't care any more. When that reality hit me, my husband and I knew it was time to walk away from the home we loved.
As my new friend and I were driving up to my old neighborhood, about 3 blocks from where I used to live, she interrupted our conversation to tell me that a rundown, now abandoned store we were passing used to be her address. She was homeless and lived under the bridge behind the store and they let her use their address to receive mail. I was a little more than startled by this news, and my heart just melted to think of all that she has been through.
As the home I had loved so much came into view, I pointed to it and told her a few things about it. I showed her the camellia bushes that bloom so beautifully in the winter. I told her about the sweet smelling wisteria that grows up the big tree on the patio. Then we rounded the corner and I showed her the abandoned houses and the crack houses where the crime was coming from that the police couldn't seem to control. As we passed by some of those houses, I noticed she was looking out the window. Then she quietly spoke and told me that she didn't think she remembered my house, and she didn't think she had ever broken into it, but if she had she was really sorry.
It was much later that night when the full irony of the whole situation really hit me. This woman, who is now my friend, is someone that just a short time ago I would have shot without blinking an eye, without even knowing who she was or what her story was, had she dared to break in my home while I was there. Granted, I probably would have been in therapy for the rest of my life. But in the moment, I would have aimed and shot to kill. And I'm a good marksman.
I don't write this to open a debate about rights or laws or obligations when you are a victim of a crime. That's a whole different subject. I can't explain why we were victims of so many crimes when the homes around us weren't plagued as often. I can say without a doubt that God's timing is impeccable, that saying he works in mysterious ways is an understatement.
It took about a year for my heart to heal over feeling like we were forced out of our home. I can say now in all honesty that I don't miss my house any more. I can also say that I believe that God knew where he was leading me. He knew that there was no way I could work with these women with the anger and resentment that I held toward crime, those who commit them, and the system that constantly releases them back onto our streets. He knew I needed time to work through the resentment and anger. I had no idea.
So, with those things in mind, this question has been burning a hole in my heart. WHAT IF . . . ? For a couple of years now, I've been asking myself, 'what if I really lived what I say I believe?' But this week it has been so much more prevalent in my mind.
We live in a culture where words don't always mean what we say. God's word calls us to obedience. It seems to me that most of us call it obedience if we just look like we are following the rules on the surface. He didn't say to obey when it is easy, when everyone else is doing it, when you aren't being challenged, when it goes along with the culture. He called us to a life of holiness that defies our limited understanding and ability. Then He equips us to follow that call.
With that in mind:
What if . . . the next time God tapped on my heart I just ran to the thing he was showing me?
What if . . . when God asks me to do something I responded with an immediate YES, before the enemy
had time to put a hundred excuses in my head?
What if . . . I personally ministered to the poor, the prisoners, the homeless, the outcasts, instead of just
sending my money hoping someone else would do it?
What if . . . I quit making excuses for why I don't respond to those tugs on my heart? I don't have time,
money, strength, passion, desire, you fill in the blank.
What if . . . I broke down some of those safe little walls I have built and actually listened long enough to hear
God's voice?
What if . . . I really lived out what I say I believe?
IF you do any of the above, you may find yourself running toward someone you just heard say she wished someone would just kill her because she doesn't have the courage to kill herself.
You may find yourself with your hands on the side of her face looking right into her eyes and telling her to just CHOOSE LIFE!
You may find yourself making new friends that look nothing like you, act nothing like you, and have habits and lifestyles that you completely disagree with.
And you may find yourself discovering that you have just realized what real obedience looks like. And you might even enjoy it.

I want to remember . . . Journal prompt
|Grand daughter, me and my mom, Oct 2014 at DaySpring FestiFall.
This was just 6 months after her disastrous knee surgery. And, no, she still does not color her hair!!!!
Today is my sweet mama's 81st birthday. There are so many things I have learned from her over the years. These are just a few that I always want to remember.
I want to remember . . . how she always put family before her own needs and desires. Even though Mama is in constant pain, she always manages to come through when any of us need her. Everything from cooking meals, doing laundry, babysitting her grandkids and great grandkids, picking up things from the grocery store, and thousands of other little things, she's always available.
I want to remember . . . the story of the terrible accident that she almost died from when she was only 18 years old, her miraculous recovery, and how that accident left her with chronic pain, that most people never knew about, for the rest of her life.
I want to remember . . . trying to learn to cook from her with no recipes and how that drove me nuts. Just put a little of this, a little of that, and you come out with perfect cornbread! That never worked for me.
I want to remember . . . that birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, graduations, may only exist as an excuse for a family dinner in which every one is invited and any friends who happen to show up are treated as family.
I want to remember . . . that dinner always begins with a prayer of thanksgiving before one bite is taken. And that forgetting that detail is cause for severe looks and possibly having your hand slapped before it reaches your mouth. (That hasn't happened in years but I still remember it like it was yesterday!)
I want to remember . . . the odd way she holds her cards when we play card games.
I want to remember . . . her long, slender fingers and beautiful fingernails that were always polished every Saturday night to match her outfit for Sunday morning, before arthritis twisted her knuckles and the nail polish was left to a younger generation.
I want to remember . . . how she and Daddy read their devotions together every night before they went to sleep when Daddy wasn't working night shift.
I want to remember . . . the million and one times she has come to my rescue for everything from restocking my pantry when there was more month than money, to demanding that I bring my laundry to her so she could wash it when my week was long and we were out of clean clothes.
I want to remember . . . the pure joy in her face the first time, and every time after that, when she held each of my children and grand children.
I want to remember . . . the compassionate sadness I saw in her eyes when one of my children had gone through a particular hard time and how she ached to rescue them.
I want to remember . . . how she drives me crazy with her OCD weird little habits . . . and how much I am like her.
I want to remember . . . the first time as a mom when I heard her voice come out of my mouth, and how much that both frightened me and made me proud to be her daughter.
I want to remember . . . her extensive knowledge of all things plant and flower related, and how much I have learned from her in that regard.
I want to remember . . . that the best tasting pot roast, pound cake, and lots of other foods came from Mama's kitchen.
I want to remember . . . her total devotion to my daddy that has never wavered in 60 years of marriage.
I want to remember . . . that as a small child she made it clear that church attendance was never optional, that 10% of everything I earned belonged to God, and that putting God first was the only way to live your life.
I want to remember . . . that in spite of my rebellion and stubborn heart, she has always loved me unconditionally, perfectly modeling for me the relationship she has with her heavenly Father year after year.
I want to remember . . . all the ways that she far surpasses me in grace and southern hospitality.
I want to remember . . . all of it, even the hard times. Because much of who my mom is has made me who I am today.

Today I am thankful for. . .
This past week I've spent a lot of time contemplating the weight of Good Friday, the celebration of Easter, and Holy Week in general. It's still so hard for me to comprehend the love that Jesus showed on Good Friday. The beatings, the insults, being spat on, the utter cruelty of the cross. And he chose this - for me! How incredibly humbling!
If I were forced to defend my faith with my very life, or in the face of a brutal rapist as some of our sisters in other countries are, if I knew my head would be chopped off if I didn't deny my God, would I still admit to my belief? Or, would I even continue to believe at all? I hope I never have to answer that in reality. But I do wonder.
Jesus' words on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED!" marked a finality that rocked the world of those looking on, literally, with an earthquake, graves opening up, and the sky turning to darkness. But truly, it was not the end of the story! For us, it was the beginning of our freedom, the necessary debt paid for sin. I pray that you recognize the agony of Good Friday, but that you rejoice in the celebration of Easter where your redemption comes!
Today, I am thankful for living in a country where I have been privileged to learn about my Savior openly and in freedom.
I'm thankful for a church that constantly challenges me to a deeper walk.
I'm thankful for relationships with believers who accept me as I am but refuse to let me stay there, spurring me on to growth in my faith walk.
I'm thankful for my family who stood by me at my worst and loved me anyway.
I'm thankful for my husband who lifts me up with encouragement to use my gifts for His glory and loves me like I had never imagined possible.
And, most of all, I'm thankful for Jesus who unselfishly gave His own life to give me mine.

Genetics are a funny thing. . .
Sometimes I wonder about God's sense of humor. And just in case you doubt he has one, just ask any parent of a child older than about a year old. Inevitably by that age there has been at least once that the parent has gazed with awe and wonder at said child and thought, 'God's getting me back for. . .' whatever.
Genetics are an amazing web of intricate combinations that are far beyond my comprehension. And sometimes, just sometimes, you find a genetic code that is so strongly stamped onto a person that you just have to look on in amazement.
And if you doubt that last statement, go back and ask the same parent again.
Most of us have at least one thing that we always swore would never happen when we became parents. In my case, one of those sworn to avoid things was my mom's standard answer for any question. "You'll have to ask your daddy." Translation, NO. See, Daddy worked at night for most of my early life. This meant when I got home from school, he had just left for work. And when I got up in the mornings, he was sleeping. So any request for permission had to be planned days in advance, which I never had the forethought to do.
For most moms, a stark reality hits us at the most inopportune moment and when we least expect it. Usually it's about mid sentence into what is about to be a tirade of warnings to a child who has done some dastardly deed or has uttered a forbidden rebellious statement that probably deserves a soapy dinner. And once it happens, you can never un-remember it. It's that moment when you open your mouth and your mother comes out. It just happens. And it's a frightening feeling. You are all at once a child in trouble and the old lady that you thought you'd never be.
But I really intended for this to be about something I did yesterday. I admittedly have the attention span of a flea sometimes. I can sit for hours and work on a project. But if I'm trying to multitask on chores, I walk away to get something and get distracted and forget what I was doing. I'm acutely aware of this brain malfunction. So I try really hard not to do two things at once that could be a problem if you forget to complete one of them. Like ironing. Or frying bacon.
Yesterday I was boiling chicken for soup. It was going to take a while. So I decided to do something else while I waited. I decided to wash a couple things that needed to be hand washed, which meant stopping up the bathroom sink and running water in it. It doesn't take long to fill a sink in a RV. But while I was waiting, I thought I'd take the two steps to the kitchen to check on the chicken. And I got distracted.
For the record, there is no overflow hole in the bathroom sink in our RV.
Now about that genetic code . . .
One of my daughters came in to pick up the grandkid after the water incident. She went to the bathroom. Being well trained by her mother, she wanted to wash her hands. But the bathroom sink was full of everything that was thrown in there off the counter to get it out of the standing water that had overflowed from the sink.
So I told her to wash her hands in the shower. But I forgot the shower floor was covered with wet towels used to sop up the water from the counter and out of the carpet where it spilled over to the floor. There was also a small pillow in there that my hubby had thrown in because the grandkid spilled soup on it.
I, like any resourceful mother, dug out the hand sanitizer in the pile in the sink and just squirted it on her hands and told her to go home and wash her hands.
By this time she was laughing hysterically. Not so much at the situation as at the fact that she tells people all the time that she got it honestly. If ever there was a child that was stamped with her parent's DNA, it's that girl. Bless her heart.
In other news, the chicken noodle soup came out fine.

My Testimony . . .
About a week ago my pastor asked me about giving my 3 minute testimony in church, then expanding that testimony into 30 minutes for Celebrate Recovery. I've been helping with Celebrate Recovery for just a couple of months. The Lord had clued me in that giving my testimony was coming. As soon as my pastor mentioned it to me, the nightmares started. Working with Celebrate Recovery has brought up so many memories that I would rather keep buried, hidden deep in the past. Things that are no longer a part of my life. Hurts that God has healed me from, but still bring feelings of shame and guilt when I dwell on them. There was so much damage that was done by poor choices I made. And fears that linger from damage that was done to me by others, those scars that fade with time but still sting when reopened.
Nightmares were a regular part of my life for a long time. For about two years after I was raped, I dealt with terrifying nightmares at least several times a week. They usually come back any time I have to open that wound again and talk to people about rape. Over the years, I've learned how to combat them. I know that prayer and fasting are the answer. But I didn't do that this time. For about a week, I just let them fester like an open wound. A week of sleepless nights. A week of missed opportunity to give my heavenly Father victory over my past. Again. Sometimes we are such lost sheep, even after we have been found. For me, I often find myself in a new pasture, or wandering in an old pasture that I thought had been destroyed, lost and afraid again.
Then I remember. I recall those promises I've learned to depend on.
I am reminded by my precious Savior that his love is sufficient, that his grace has covered my past, that I am no longer that lost sheep, that his plans for me are all good, that he hears me when I call to him.
And he answers.
And it hit me. Like God just reached down into the depths of my soul and clarified everything. My testimony isn't about mistakes I've made, my failures, my poor choices or insecurities, my broken life! My testimony is about what He has done in me, His healing, His redemption, His undeserved mercy. Three minutes certainly isn't long enough to recount all the amazing blessings He has poured into my life in the last 26 years. But 3 minutes of His miraculous works beats 30 minutes of my failures any day!
I pray that anyone reading this has found the beautiful healing love that can only come from a perfect God. If you are struggling to find God's grace, please know that He is pursuing your heart. His relentless love is infinite and unconditional. He will never fail you or desert you. And I would love to share with you how he has radically changed my life! Feel free to message me any time.
60 and Counting . . .
I don't know who said that. But it is true. As we age our bodies tend to become increasingly uncooperative, our minds forget more than we remember, and our spirits don't seem to have quite as much passion for things we used to think so important. But other than those little details, I haven't really found aging to be such a bad thing. And there are certainly some advantages I hadn't expected, like I can honestly say no to chaperoning youth lock-ins because I'm just too old. And since the kids are grown, I get to play with the grandkids and send them home spoiled. lol.
Last month my hubby celebrated his 60th birthday. He was a little bummed about thinking he was getting old. So my family and I threw a big surprise birthday party for him. I wanted him to see how much he is appreciated by so many people. He doesn't really like to be the center of attention. But I figured with lots of friends and family around he would forgive me. It was great to see all the people who came out to show him they cared. He's a pretty super guy, besides being ridiculously talented musically, really smart, and an accomplished computer nerd, he's just an all around nice guy. Plus he's an amazing hubby and father. Here are a few pics from the party.
Now, about that cake . . .
I made the cake using my favorite pound cake recipe, Paula Deen's Mama's Pound Cake. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/mamas-pound-cake-recipe.html
I made three 9 inch square layers. The top one I cut in half. My piano man sometimes plays two keyboards at a time. Hence, the stacked look. It would have been more realistic made with chocolate fondant, but since I'm allergic to chocolate, the black keys were about all I could handle. lol! Making this cake definitely did not take as many steps as the Frozen cake I made for the granddaughter. It actually was pretty simple.
Then I covered it with the marshmallow fondant recipe from this blog:
Yes, I mixed it with a spatula, just like she says. I usually use my heavy duty mixer. But I actually found this to be much easier than I thought it would be. The only thing I found difficult with this recipe was, after letting it rest for 24 hours, it was really hard. Like so hard I couldn't knead it in one big ball with my arthritic hands. I had to break off pieces and knead a little at time. But one I got it kneaded, it was great to work with. Her site has lots of helpful tips and techniques.
The black piano keys are Kit Kat bars dipped in Wilton melted black candy melts, available at Michaels. I placed the Kit Kat bars on a wire cooling rack and spooned the melted candy melts over them. Then I smoothed the top with the back of the spoon. After they dried for a while and started to set, I lifted them off the cooling rack by sliding a butter knife under them and moving them to a clean spot on the rack. Once they were set, I just moved them to wax paper and refrigerated them until I was ready to use them. You can lift up the candy that dripped down under the wire rack and reheat it. Before I put the Kit Kats on the cake, I scraped any hardened candy melt drips off the bottom or sides with a sharp paring knife. This made the sides look straight and the bottoms nice and flat.
I glued them to the cake using this fondant glue recipe: http://rosebakes.com/make-fondant-sugar-glue/
This worked great!
The white keys are just fondant rectangles, rolled a little thicker than normal and cut to size. I used a tape measure to get my spacing pretty even for the lines. The indentions between the keys were made with an ice pick.
All in all, I was happy with how it came out. And my man was happy. That's really all that mattered. I am definitely blessed beyond measure!

Frozen, Queen Elsa, and a little princess . . .
Parties and events are kind of my thing. So my daughter, after much convincing, allowed me to just run with the whole party planning, decorating, games, cake, the works. I had a blast! Since all of that sugar was my idea, I'm sure their parents hated me by bedtime! But it was a perfect party.
If you are in the central Mississippi area, you can hire a princess for your party from: https://www.facebook.com/vaughnentertainment
I highly recommend them!
After they were made, I sprayed them with Recollections Simply Pastel spray mist in blue. I don't think it is available any more. Most of the crafty supplies came from Michaels after Christmas clearance, including the blue wrapping paper I covered the little tables with, the foam snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and the Recollections paper snowflakes on the kid's table, even the helium tank. And the balloons came from the Fun Finds aisle.
When Elsa arrived, she wanted to make an Olaf, too!
Then they played pin the nose on the Olaf. Elsa put the blindfold on each girl and turned her around. The girls were just giddy over this. So cute. I made Olaf by painting a background on white foamcore with shades of blue, purple, and white acrylic paint. Then I smeared some Craft Twinkles with my finger to make it look sparkly. I sketched Olaf on white posterboard then went over the lines with black Sharpie and cut him out. I glued him to the foamcore with Glossy Accents by Ranger and painted his arms and touched up the Sharpie lines with black, white, and brown acrylic paint to add some shading to him. Then I hung him on the wall with Command Strips so we could take him down after the party.
Then Elsa wrote down the gifts as the birthday girl opened them, and she got very excited over the Elsa Barbie! And the birthday girl got very excited over the Minnie Mouse play set she got. I love these two pictures.
The party favors were candy coated Oreo cookies with snowflakes on top, a little Wilton blue shimmer, and some Wilton edible glitter, all tied up in a Wilton treat bag with a balloon, a snowflake ring, and custom made 'thank you' tag by my amazing personal graphic designer (which I forgot to take pictures of!). The mold for the cookies, the snowflakes on the cake, and the snowflake rings came from www.teresascreateacake.com. The cookie mold makes 5 candy coated cookies. I used Wilton white candy melts and rubbed Wilton blue shimmer on top after they hardened, all available at Michaels. We topped off the bag with a Recollections snowflake sticker and they turned out just adorable.
And the cake, complete with turrets (Wilton Castle Cake kit), an 'ice' (Wilton clear plastic) staircase, and ice spikes (candy glass from this recipe: http:/www.pamspartyandpracticaltips.com/2014/01/elsas-ice-candy_17.html?m=1) and snowflakes (Wilton white candy melts, Wilton snowflake candy mold, with Wilton blue shimmer rubbed on top).
I made the cake using Paula Deen's recipe here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/mamas-pound-cake-recipe.html.
The icing was http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Buttercream-Icing
And the fondant was http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Rolled-Marshmallow-Fondant.
After the cake was all put together, I used more of the Wilton blue shimmer and edible glitter on it..
Elsa, Anna, and Olaf were also present on the cake (Disney skating figurine set at Toys 'r' Us). The Olaf plates and napkins are Disney and I picked those up after Christmas at Big Lots, also. There's lots of after Christmas clearance stuff here!
And the group picture. Lots of little princesses. Just too stinkin' cute!
The birthday girl loved it all. And for a week after it was over, she would randomly say what an awesome day she had at her party. That, my friends, makes all the work worthwhile!

Pictured: Brave model Lauren Scruggs seen in public for first time with prosthetic eye since horrific propeller accident
Model and fashion blogger Lauren Scruggs has been pictured for the first time with the prosthetic eye she was fitted with after accidentally walking into a plane propeller last year.
The 23-year-old was seen leaving a gym on Tuesday with her mother Cheryl in her home town of Dallas, Texas having made a remarkable recovery.
She was wearing her favourite blue Cowboys cap and a long-sleeved jacket covering her missing left hand.
Courage: Lauren Scruggs, who almost lost her life in a horrific plane propeller accident last year, was pictured at a gym in Texas after being fitted with a prosthetic eye three weeks ago
Miss Scruggs was nearly killed on December 3 when she walked into a plane propeller after taking a ride with a friend to see the Dallas Christmas lights from the sky.
She suffered a fractured skull, broken collarbone, brain injuries and lost her left hand. Two weeks after the tragic accident, doctors decided that they had to remove Lauren's eye.
Her mother Cheryl Scruggs wrote on the devoutly Christian family's Caring Bridge website today: 'How blessed we are to see God's Presence in Lo every single day. We never take this for granted.
Courage: Lauren Scruggs, who almost lost her life in a horrific plane propeller accident last year, was pictured at a gym in Texas after being fitted with a prosthetic eye three weeks ago
'We are blessed beyond measure; blessed beyond our wildest dreams. Easy to say, hard to live.
'Not all of it appears, externally, as blessing, but "we know that all things work together for those who love God," and we believe this is true.'
Though her parents have been actively updating her friends and family through their Caring Bridge website and television appearances, Lauren made her first public appearance on January 17.
She was seen walking out of Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas wearing a patch over her missing eye and a Cowboys football hat pulled low.
The prosthetic eye is a major step in her healing process, but she still has a long way to go.
Her mother Cheryl Scruggs said two weeks ago that while some of the physical pain that she used to feel while trying to sleep - which she described as 'ferocious' at the time - has lessened, Lauren needs now to move on to her other forms of recovery.
Last weekend Miss Scruggs posted two photographs to her Twitter page - one showing her and a friend wearing sunglasses and pouting, and another bundled up on the slopes watching ski jumping.
The successful fashion blogger has shown inspiring stoicism as she makes her recovery.
Out on the slopes: Lauren Scruggs posted this picture earlier this month saying she was watching ski jumping with family and friends
Sunny outlook: Lauren posted this picture of her and her twin sister Brittany accompanied by the tweet: 'Such a fun weekend with sweet family and friends'
At the start of the month her father Jeff Scruggs told the Today Show: 'She's got her spunk back, her personality.'
He said that she took a mirror and held it up to her face, shrugging it off, saying: 'It's not that bad'.
'How blessed we are to see God's Presence in Lo every single day. We never take this for granted.'
Cheryl Scruggs, mother
'She's excelling in the physical and occupational therapies and they're not as concerned about. It's more of a concern about the cognitive and neurological therapies that she's going to need after this,' he continued.
More details continue to emerge about the December 3 accident as the emergency 911 call was released in late January.
'A girl walked into an airplane prop - I need an ambulance immediately,' the female caller tells the 911 operator in the seven-minute recording obtained by TMZ.com. 'I think it cut her hand off.'
In the call, placed at 8.48pm from the private airport near Dallas, the male caller described the model as conscious and breathing but bleeding badly with her face to the ground.
When asked exactly what part of her body she injured, the male caller says: 'We don't know, we haven't turned her over.' Her cries and moans became louder throughout the call.
In the city: Just before the serious December accident that left her without a hand and an eye, she was working to build up her own fashion site and held interviews at New York Fashion Week
Witnesses thought that Lauren must have been crossing in front of the plane to go thank the pilot Curt Richmond, who was trying to warn her to avoid the propeller.
Mr Richmond put down his arm and turned away from her when he thought she had turned to walk away from the spinning propeller, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report.
But it's unclear whether she heard his warning over the roar of the engine.
Moments later, someone on the ground screamed 'Stop! Stop!' and Mr Richmond saw her lying on the tarmac and he immediately cut the engine.
Mr Richmond, believed to be a friend of Lauren's, had left the engine running while new passengers filed into the small plane as he prepared another trip to the skies.
The NTSB did not find fault with the pilot for the accident but air safety investigator Denny Kelly said Mr Richmond is ultimately responsible because he 'should have shut the engine down'.
Family: Lauren Scruggs pictured with her father, mother and twin sister - who was suffering 'sympathy pains'
'I don't know how to thank each one of you, properly, for so much love during this difficult incident in my life,' Ms Scruggs wrote in January.
'My heart is so grateful beyond what I could ever imagine.
'Thank you dearly for the sweet encouragements, the precious words in letters and messages, the beautiful grace in pretty presents.
'But mostly I am so so thankful for you and your loving hearts and sweet spirits.'

- AJ is backstage in deep thought. The camera pans and we see Daniel Bryan sitting there. She says he has definite anger management issues, despite what the shrink said last week. Bryan says he's calm now and agrees with her decision to face Cena tonight. Bryan wants the SummerSlam match changed to a Fatal 4 Way. She says he already has a SummerSlam match against Kane. Bryan gets up and yells no while AJ responds with a yes. Bryan storms off and we go back to commercial.
Kelly Kelly vs. Eve Torres
Back from the break and out comes Kelly Kelly making her return. Eve Torres is out next and apparently she was put in the match by AJ. Eve runs her mouth and pushes Kelly out of the way. Eve goes to leave the ring but Kelly brings her back in and goes to work. Kelly drops Eve in the corner and comes in with the elbow. Kelly's stinkface sends Eve out to the floor. Eve looks to leave again but Kelly stops her. Kelly whips Eve into the barrier and she lands hard. Kelly brings it back in the ring and climbs up top. Kelly hits the crossbody but Eve kicks out at 2.
Eve makes a comeback. Kelly tries to turn it around but gets dropped on her face. Eve with a choke in the corner now. Eve takes Kelly to the mat with a headlock now. Kelly makes another comeback and this time gets the win.

- More hype for Triple H and Brock Lesnar tonight. Plus, Shawn Michaels appears. Back to commercial.
- Back from commercial and out comes WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels to a big pop from the hometown crowd.
Shawn thanks the fans for allowing him to be part of history once again - RAW 1000. He talks about the DX reunion, calling it priceless. Shawn says he's just fine on his ranch but when he heard RAW was coming to San Antonio, there was no way he could miss it. Shawn says the more things change, the more they stay the same. He talks about new faces backstage but the one thing that's the same is the talk. Shawn says everyone is talking about the confrontation at SummerSlam between Triple H and Brock Lesnar. Lesnar's music interrupts and out he comes with Paul Heyman.
Heyman takes the mic and says everyone wants to know Shawn's opinion of the match. Heyman calls Shawn the greatest in-ring entertainer in WWE history. Heyman says Lesnar isn't going to SummerSlam as an entertainer. He's not going to entertain with Triple H. Brock doesn't care about entertaining. Lesnar is going to SummerSlam to fight Triple H and to prove once again that he's the baddest dude on the planet today, Heyman says. The crowd chants for HBK.

GLORIOUS holiday album! Audio quality is jaw-dropping,
This review is from: This Is Christmas (Audio CD)
I'll be honest, I'd never heard of this Katherine Jenkins lady but after listening to a few samples I was hooked on her pure, pitch-perfect, sweeping voice. Turned out to be a good buy! This album is fantastic.
You'll find a good mix of chorus classics (Hark the Herald Angel Sings, O Come O Come Emmanuel) which she nails perfectly, but there's also several pop favorites such as "Santa Baby" and "The Christmas Song". Santa Baby is fabulous. It showcases her perfect voice, but the real winner is the orchestra. The whole album sounds GREAT, but "Santa Baby" literally transforms your living room into a live concert hall. That track is worth the album price alone. Her rendition of "The Christmas Song" is also spot-on and perhaps one of the best covers in years.
OVERALL: Highly recommended Christmas album for your 2012 playlist (and years to come) - every track is recorded in stunning audio quality that has a sweeping, live-like feel. When I listen to this it sounds like Katherine Jenkins and an entire orchestra is performing in my living room. Great vocals, flawless productions.. doesn't get much better than this.
