THOUGHT FOR TODAY
When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
Joyce Brothers
I’ve sent out my birthday wishes in a card to this grandson but will be seeing him soon when our family gets together next weekend for Thanksgiving. This is the last of our family birthdays for this month. There certainly was a lot of celebrating
going on.
Now we will move on to the holiday celebrations. Thanksgiving is less than a week away and then thoughts will be turning toward all the preparations for Christmas. There will be concerts to attend and shopping and baking to do. I call it the most wonderful time of year.
Half the fun of any celebration is the anticipation.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day
There are quite a few recipes out there that use coca cola and here’s one I found to share with you all today

3 sticks butter
3 tbsp. cocoa powder
1 c. Coca Cola
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs

1 1/2 c. miniature marshmallows
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine flour and sugar in mixing bowl. Heat butter, Coca Cola and cocoa to the boiling point. Pour over flour and sugar mixture and beat well. Add buttermilk, eggs, soda, vanilla, and marshmallows. Stir well. Bake in large sheet pan at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
COCA COLA ICING:
1 stick butter
6 tbsp. Coca Cola

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!
Hamilton Wright Mabie
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4423. for our little Lad, it’s his birthday today
4424. for family to celebrate with
4425. for cake and ice cream, always a treat
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make everyday a holiday and celebrate just living!

HERE you are! (I looked and looked yesterday, but figured Blogville was acting out.)
Happy belated to your handsome Lad! He reminds me a little of a young JFK, Jr.
Your little guy is quite cute. My mom used to make a Coke Cake that was very good. Thanks for the memories!!
