ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Cheese is produced from pressed curds of milking has been a staple of our diets since ancient times. By the time of the Roman Empire cheese had become widespread.
From grilled cheese sandwiches to cheese soup and cheese cake, there is no shortage of cheese varieties and recipes.Today is a good time to try a variety of cheese that you’ve never tasted before.
Happy National Cheese Day!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Good food is a celebration of life.
Sophia Loren
Cheese is definitely a staple here at my house and I eat it often. It’s good in sandwiches, salads and casseroles and makes a great dessert too. But one of my favorite ways to eat it in the summer time is to have a fruit and cheese plate which makes a meal in itself. Melon cubes, pineapple slices and grape clusters are perfect served with my favorite cheese and crackers. I often add some slices of summer sausage too. It’s a refreshing meal on a hot summer day for me.
After several hot and muggy days last week, we had a cooler weekend and they say we can expect more normal temps to start off this week too. It’s great to be able to turn off the air conditioning.
The picture above is one of my most recent works of art and this week I’m hoping to finish up more. I’m really not much of an artist, but I have fun !
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!

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!

I love your picture! I have a soft spot for sunflowers! Did you use acrylics or oils? No matter - it’s beautiful! Where are you going to hang it?
Love this pix of the cousins/best buds!
Cheese and I are pretty good buds, as well. How nice it has a day dedicated to it! Now, cream cheese is pretty boring but I wanted to share something that Terri featured on her blog this morning: Roberts Rothschild Roasted Pineapple and Habanero sauce … poured atop a block of Philly Cream Cheese and served with crackers as a dip. (She found it at their Sam's Club, but I'm going to try Wal-Mart.)
I like cheese too! We found pepper jack string cheese and that is really tasty and low in calories if one just eats one serving of it. I like the fruit/cheese platter you put together for summer meals. So refreshing I would imagine!
I do like your work of art. I think it is very creative!
betty
I often have a cheese and fruit plate too. I love it with Crisp, tart apples as well. I mostly just like to nibble at a chunk of cheese.
OH, that cheeky trio at the end. How adorable! I love a good cheese tray also. Especially when it is too hot to cook. Love your art! Love all that you share with us Pam. You should be given "National Treasure" status. You are a real ray of sunshine! xoxo
