Happy Anniversary!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Franklin P. Jones
This is the 2nd of the two July anniversaries in our family. So today I’m sending out the best of wishes to my daughter and her husband for a very happy Anniversary! We didn’t have any July birthdays but August is going to be full of them and we’ll also have another anniversary to celebrate then too.
It’s also Cow Appreciation Day today. It is a day to remind us how integral cows are to our daily life. In some regions, such as parts of India, cows have significant religious meaning. Cows are sometimes considered as the oldest form of wealth. I for one certainly appreciate a good cold glass of milk that they provide!
They say that ultimately Cow Appreciation Day was the clever brainchild of the Chik Fil A company, creating the story of the daring cow to encourage people to skip their favorite burger joint, and come to their local Chik Fil A instead. Little did people know that indulging in this bit of fanciful celebration would introduce them to a fundamental truth about fast food. There isn’t anything quite as delicious as chicken.
We had a short but wonderful break from the heat but today’s temps are back to above average and they say there are a few more 90 degree days ahead of us too.
Keep Cool!
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
National Pecan Pie Day
If you like nuts, and you like pie, and you like sweets, then today is your day. Sweet and crunchy, Pecan Pie is a regular on the menu of most restaurants. And, for good reason.
Frozen pie crust and a simple filling combine to make an easy pecan pie.
Easy Pecan Pie
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups pecan halves or pieces
1 frozen deep dish pie crust
Heat oven to 375°F; place cookie sheet in oven to preheat.
In medium bowl, mix brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended; stir in pecans. Pour into frozen crust.
Bake on preheated cookie sheet 35 to 45 minutes or until center is set. After 15 to 20 minutes of baking, cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool 30 minutes; refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Love is a gift. You can't buy it, you can't find it, someone has to give it to you. Learn to be receptive of that gift.
Kurt Langner
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4033. for DD and her hubby, it’s their anniversary
4034. for chicken, I do love Chic Fil A
4035. for pecans, my favorite nut
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
Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.

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