ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
OCTOBER 23RD, 2011
It's SUNDAY!
Swallows Leave San Juan Capistrano
Traditionally, the swallows leave Capistrano today. They'll be back March 19
Another sure sign that winter is on the way!
How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown.

NATIONAL BOLOGNA DAY
You might refer to it as baloney, but this popular American sandwich meat derives from the beautiful ancient Italian provincial capital of Bologna, which long has had a thriving pork industry that produces prosciutto and mortadella, the latter of which most closely resembles our baloney
The very first and best way to eat bologna is to fry it and eat it on a sandwich. For the best flavor use a cast iron skillet. If slicing your own bologna from a stick, do not make your cuts too thick. When frying bologna it should be thin. The perfect thickness when slicing your own is slightly less thick than a store bought pack of bologna. Once cut to the proper thickness, slice bologna in the middle to make two halves.
Unlike sausage, you must add a small amount of oil to the skillet. This will keep it from sticking. As the bologna cooks it will bubble up in the center. If the skillet is hot, cooking time will be relatively quick so don’t put it in the skillet and walk away. To get the perfect flavor of fried bologna I prefer it to be cooked to where there are charred markings on the bologna. It shouldn’t be completely black when cooked, but it should have some black markings on it.
Once the bologna is cooked, take two pieces of bread either toasted or plain and place several slices of bologna onto one side. Then grab a jar of mustard and add several teaspoons. That’s it, you are ready to eat!
I personally like it with mayo, tomato and lettuce...BLT
That's Bologna, lettuce and tomato
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
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
You can't be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet.
Hal Borland
All the signs are present here, the trees are fast loosing all their leaves, the birds are headed south, the squirrels are storing away their stash for winter, and the violets are gone. There is no denying that Autumn is here.
It's a lazy day here at my house. Other than church this morning, it should be a pretty quiet day. I should be working on putting away all the stuff I brought home from the camper yesterday, but I think that will wait for tomorrow.
Hope your Sunday is a lazy one too.
COUNTING THE DAYS
There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.
Henry Ward Beecher
60 DAYS UNTIL WINTER

Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…
Love,
