THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life’s a party. Invite yourself.
As I wished this granddaughter a happy birthday when I sent yet another card out in the mail, I was thinking how blessed I am to have so many wonderful grandchildren. I may not get to see many of them very often but they are all loved very much.
Today is also Mad Hatter Day which is celebrated each year on October 6th because the Mad Hatter wears a top hat labeled 'In this style 10/6' in Alice's Adventures In Wonderland illustrations. In the book, the Hatter is an eccentric milliner for whom time is forever stuck at a tea party with his friend the March Hare. It is also six months from April Fools' Day, the first silly holiday of the year. Today, recognize the reality that is nonsense and the silliness that is sane.
Taking time to be a little silly and having fun now and then is always a good thing.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is National Noodle Day!
Whether you like them boiled or fried, in soups, salads, or entrees with sauce, noodles are popular the world over. And here at my house they are a staple in the pantry. I found a new recipe to try out and am sharing that with you all today.
Cheesy Butter Noodles.
2 1/4 cups uncooked egg noodles
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Transfer to a serving bowl. Immediately add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4288. for our Southern Belle, it’s her birthday today
4289. for times just to be silly
4290. for noodles, so many different ways to fix them
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
Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by.
