THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Live well, Laugh often, Love much.
Bessie Anderson Stanley
This double birthday is doubly celebrated. They were born just one year apart on the same day. The pictures are of the two of them last year. DS#3’s card went out in the mail as he doesn’t live close by but I was able to see my daughter and celebrate with her yesterday.
Today we also celebrate the Duck Tape Festival in our part of the woods. DS#5 is very involved in this festival. He always participates by developing a float that is in the parade. Everything is made from Duck Tape. I was able to go to it last year and that is what the pictures are of. The whole family was in town for our family reunion so most of us are in the picture too. He said they may even be interviewing him on the Today Show this morning. I’ll be watching.
It’s to be a hot and sunny weekend here in the mid 80’s so I’ll be mostly staying in and keeping cool.
I hope you all SUPER Saturday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
National Cherry Tart Day
Did you know that the red pigment in cherries has anti inflammatory properties that could lead to health benefits? This year's National Cherry Tart day should therefore be an occasion for indulging in this sweet, beautiful dessert. Fattening? Yes. But if cherries are good for you, it might be a wash!
Sour Cream Cherry Tart
1 9-inch pastry crust
2 1/2 cups tart cherries, pitted
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup sour cream
Wash seeded cherries and place in unbaked crust. Combine sugar and flour. Add sour cream and blend thoroughly. Pour mixture over fruit.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 and continue to bake for another 30 minutes.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
You take away all the other luxuries in life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given the most special gift: happiness.
Brad Garrett
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3961. for DD and DS#3, it’s their birthday today
3962. for DS#5, who’s participating in the Duck Tape Festival
3963. for a sunny weekend
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.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Live every moment, laugh every day, love beyond words.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Happy birthday to your son and daughter! I remember you mentioning the duct tape festival from last year. I hope son#5 did get interviewed today; it does sound like a fun thing he does with participating in it!
betty
How cool they share the same birthday!! Did they ever hate that? Darian and Harley are just 4 days apart. We used to celebrate them together but then they voiced how much they wanted their "own day" so we stopped. Maybe when they are adults we can go back to the same day!!
I would LOVE to see a picture of the Duct Tape Float :-)
Happy birthday to your DD and DS#3!
The Duck Tape festival sounds like such fun. I'm going to Google it now!
