THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May the Force be with you.
George Lucas, Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope
I did get to celebrate this grandson’s birthday at his party last Saturday. That is what the pictures are of today. It was a Star Wars theme and his mom and dad out did themselves making sure he had everything Star Wars to help him celebrate.
Today is also National Matchmaker Day which honors those special matchmakers who work to bring couples together. One of my best friends in high school introduced me to my husband. Her boyfriend at the time was best friends with my DDH. I think she did a great job of matchmaking and I grateful she did.
They say that after today, we are to have a break from the hot and very humid weather here for the next few days. Temps will be in the 70’s!
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s National Trail Mix Day which features a high energy, tasty treat for the trail or snacks. You can buy packages of trail mix at a store. Or, you can make up your own, using the ingredients you like best.
TRAIL MIX
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. peanuts
1/2 c. dried apples
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
Mix ingredients thoroughly and keep in a ziplock plastic bag.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Gratitude is the best attitude.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

Protect our military

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!

Looked like a fun party! Being a matchmaker is a good gift to have I think.

I love the cake! Happy Birthday Mr. Wonderful. Wouldn't mind a wookie cookie to go with a piece of cake. As for matchmaking? I never tried that, I always was afraid it would backfire on me. Have a wonderful day Ma!
