Life is a Special Occasion!

June 16th is Fudge Day, a rich confectionery holiday indeed. By the square or by the pound, fudge is a family favorite. Simple to make, this creamy delight offers unlimited flavor combinations: butterscotch, dark chocolate, maple, peanut butter, praline and more.
According to candy legend, the first fudge was actually produced by mistake by a confectionery cook who bungled a batch of Valentine's Day caramels in 1886. 'Oh, fudge!’, the cook said. May this mishap be to your benefit, as you enjoy your favorite fudge on June 16th, Fudge Day. And, if you find fudge too filling or too rich for your palate, why not opt for a frozen fudge bar or a hot fudge topping on ice cream? On June 16th, it's Fudge Day, so feel free to indulge!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Always serve too much hot fudge sauce on hot fudge sundaes. It makes people overjoyed, and puts them in your debt.

I do love a good hot fudge sundae. Fudge with walnuts in it is a favorite of mine too. I’ve never been much good at making fudge, so I won’t share a recipe for it today.
It was a beautiful weekend here and I hope you all had a great one there at your house too. The week ahead looks to be quite warm in the 80’s for the most part and for the next 7 days there is a chance of rain every day. That might just put a damper on what I’ll be doing around here. Oh fudge!
Today’s pictures are a mixture of the Duck Tape festival and a cookout we enjoyed at DD’s house this past weekend. The float pictured is one DS#5’s art club put together made of Duck Tape.
I hope your Monday is off to a great start !
PRAYER REQUEST
DDIL#1 wrote saying: could you please add our neighbors? The mom passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. The boys are our Princess and and Prince Charming’s ages and one of her dying wishes was for her son to go to scout camp starting today! We are not sure how he is going to handle all of this but the dads going will try to make sure he has a good time.
Please join me in praying for this family at their time of loss. May the dear Lord bless them with comfort and strength at this time of great sorrow.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Families are like fudge — mostly sweet with a few nuts.

I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over a year and have now reached over 1700 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1766. for a fantastic weekend with some of my family
1767. for a new week with lots of new possibilities
1768. for fudge, hot fudge topping is my favorite
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
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 ALL!
Avoid any diet that discourages the use of hot fudge.

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

Love, LOVE the pics of your family Pam! You have some beautiful grandchildren there! My mother always made the best peanut butter fudge. It wasn't something we had very often, so when she made it, it was a real treat! I think Peanut Butter Fudge is my favourite kind! I haven't had any in ages. I think I need to make some soon! Thanks for all that you share! xxoo
PS - I meant to add I am praying for this family. How very sad. xx
