Grilled Butterflied Chicken


We tried a new recipe last night. I had the butcher butterfly a
chicken and then we grilled it. What you don't see is the dish we weighted the
chicken down with so it would cook evenly. Oh boy, was it ever
moist and delicious. Try it sometime ~~ you'll be glad you did.

The Young Victoria

A beautiful movie. Watch at least twice, best 3 times to capture all
the language and beautiful scenery.

Easy Pleasy


I never advertise products but I have found something that makes cleaning "easy".
Pledge Multi Surface cleaner makes my life much easier. I just spray and wipe whatever I
am cleaning. I like to go around the perimeter of the room and not have to "switch gears" if you know what I mean. Yes, some might call me lazy. I prefer to be labeled as a "Cleaning Engineer" knowing I can use my time efficiently.
You will not achieve your highest shine that comes from wax, but your surfaces (all of them) will be clean and free of dust. What more can a girl ask??
Try it. Better yet...Go online and look for a coupon.
That-a-girl!
Go Forth and Clean :-)

Amish Grace

Have you seen this movie? You must. Then forgive someone or accept
their forgiveness.

Passion


We always think we can't go another minute, or to be honest another second
with the present trial that has come our way. I've been spending much time over this idea, especially in the light of The Resurrection.
"He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood" Luke 22:44 NLT
Enough Said.

Sewing with Grandma


I do all my sewing on my Grandma's Singer sewing machine. From time to time it needs some TLC. This process can't be rushed. I have to s l o w down and try to diagnose why it is acting up. It might be dust, a caught piece of thread or something as silly as an aversion to the type of thread I've chosen. This machine is very picky. I'm just not ready to turn it in for a newer model. I prefer to be patient, kind and longsuffering. Hmm...sounds like great advice doesn't it?

Lent


Many people give something "up" for Lent. I'm suggesting that we truly GIVE something to "fill up". Christ gave us so much. We can give back in so many ways. I challenge you to fill this basket up for Him. Go ahead, deny yourself in just one little way and fill up this basket. Give love or forgiveness to someone. Send that note to a loved one. Visit that friend that needs your touch. Cut a lawn, babysit a child, make a meal, fill a gas tank, pay a bill...
Fill Up!
