ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JULY 23RD, 2011
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's SATURDAY!
GORGEOUS GRANDMA DAY
A Gorgeous Grandma is any woman over fifty, sixty, or seventy who: Believes she has her whole life ahead of her, not behind her: Wants to get the most out of every day of her life;Wants to thrive, not just survive;
Loves life - and lets everyone know it!
Let's celebrate this day, and every day, by making it vibrant and lovely!
TODAY IS ALSO IS IT HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU DAY!
Here’s the day when the tired old greeting actually gains acceptance. Go ahead, say it, if you don’t have anything else to add.
Somedays you just get tired of hearing HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU TODAY.
Today in OHIO it’s not only the National Day of but it will be one of those days.
Yesterday's National Weather Service report said, oppressive heat and humidity will remain across the region, with temperatures approaching 100 degrees. These hot temperatures combined with the humidity levels will produce heat index values of 105 to 115 degrees. This will pose a significant risk of heat illness.
We did get a few thunderstorm with some good rain though, so it cooled down considerably.
SMILE FOR TODAY
What's the purpose of the airplane propeller? To keep the pilot cool.
If you don't think so, just let it stop and watch him sweat!
NEW IN THE KITCHEN
Vanilla Ice Cream Day
Vanilla is the oft-overlooked flavor in a sea of complex flavor possibilities. Or perhaps it's just considered the base ice cream to mix in fudge, cookies, caramel, peanut butter, etc. And that's all fine and good for vanilla because everyone knows that when you're ready for a sundae or to make something a la mode, vanilla is exactly what you need.
Enjoy it in a cone, a dish, a float, a shake, or in a cake. If you get it in a cone today, ask for extra scoops, and worry about the calories later. Just make sure to eat it quickly, before it melts.
OLD TIME VANILLA ICE CREAM
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Good quality chocolate, for garnish
Whisk all ingredients together until sugar dissolves. Pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After the ice cream is made, transfer to an airtight container. Cover tightly and freeze until ready to serve. When ready to serve, make chocolate curls using a vegetable peeler. Serve ice cream garnished with curls.

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

AROUND HOME
Celebrate the glory in everyday...
As I sat outside on the patio the other evening, I thought about how I'd remember this heatwave in the middle of winter. It was too hot to spend much time outside and so I decided to stay at home and not go camping this weekend. It would not be fun at all sitting in the a/c in my tiny camper so I'll just stay home and stay inside where there is much to do.
Have a great Saturday everyone! Stay cool!
COUNTING THE DAYS
Time is at once the most valuable and the most perishable of all our possessions.

Hi Pam, it is awfully hot here and the humidity is off the chart. I can't sit on the porch and that is making me crazy. I am a porch sitter. Ha.
Have a lovely weekend.
