ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

^{MAY 12 TH}, 2010

It's WEDNESDAY!

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DSIL

May the dear Lord bless you today and always!

HE'S THE VERY BEST SIL I HAVE!

I did get to see him on Sunday and gave him his card when they stopped by the house for Mothers Day.

Having had only one daughter and 6 sons, he is the only SIL that I have, but he's a keeper for sure!

THINKING

Love truly is what life is all about. It enlightens our souls and encircles our lives here. It connects us to Heaven and makes us one with God. It brings us what we all want: Joy!

Joseph J. Mazzella

In Him we live and move and have our being

Acts 17:28

NEW IN THE KITCHEN

Breakfast for Dinner

Baked Eggs and Onions

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 large leeks (about 2 pounds)—dark green stalks discarded, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise 1/2 inch thick

1 1/2 pounds onion, chopped

Salt and pepper

4 slices country white bread, crusts discarded, toasted

3 ounces swiss cheese, shredded

8 eggs

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 3-quart oval baking dish. In a large, heavy pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks, onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and browned, about 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

2. Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the toast and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Top with the onion mixture. Using the back of a spoon, make 8 deep wells in the onion mixture. Working 1 at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and pour them into the wells. Top with the remaining cheese; season with pepper.

3. Bake until the egg whites are set but still jiggly, about 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to the broiler and cook until the eggs are just set, 1 to 2 minutes.

PRAYERS

Dear Lord, may we glorify your name in all that we undertake each day

Amen

Please pray for God's protection of

our troops and HIS wisdom for their

commanders.

Lord, hold our troops in

your loving hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the

selfless acts they perform for us

in our time of need. I ask this in the

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU!

AROUND HOME

It was another rainy day here yesterday. The only sunny spot was our Little Lucky guy for sure. Today he goes for his baby shots. I'll be praying he does well with them. Sometimes they make for a fussy baby. We'll see...

DDIL#6 is taking off work for the doctor appointment today so I'll have an easy day to say the least. She goes back to work tomorrow so I'll just hang out here today and finish up the week before returning home for the weekend.

COUNTING THE DAYS

Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace and your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of it

41 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…

Love,
