ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FRIDAY, AUGUST 13TH, 2021
The moments 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.

Happy Anniversary !
Today is also Left Handers Day which is when we celebrate the 10 percent of the population that is left handed. This day is also an opportunity to raise awareness of left handed children.
If you are left handed, you know that living in a world designed for right handed people can be quite difficult. Opening doors, writing in spiral notebooks and using a computer can be awkward and frustrating. Studdies have shown that left- handedness is often associated with intellectual creativity. Famous last handers include Michelangelo, Mozart, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Henson, and 8 of our 44 presidents.
To celebrate today, if you’re left handed, declare a lefty zone around your personal space, where everything must be done left handed, If you are a righty, do something nice for your lefty friends. Send them a left handed pen or can opener to make their lives a little easier.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Newlyweds become oldyweds and oldyweds are the reasons that families work.

My DDH was a left hander, but none of our children inherited this trait. He had beautiful handwriting as a result of many years of hand writing classes in school. Because he was left handed, they paid particular interest in his handwriting. He could do a lot of things with either hand and never complained much at all. He did insist on having the end of the table to himself so he wasn’t bumping elbows with the person next to him while eating.
These days many schools aren’t even teaching handwriting at all, which is a sad case as far as I can see, they say it’s because so much is done on computers these days. I know I don’t use my own handwriting as much as I used to either for the same reason. Still it’s good to know I can if I choose to.
Fridays are day for me cook up something new and today it is:
Garden Fresh Grilled Veggie Pizza
Makes 6 servings
3 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, iminced
3 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 sweet red pepper, halved, stemmed and seeded
1 small zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
1 onion cut crosswise into 1/2 inch slices
1 tsp ground pepper
1 orebaked pizza crest

Coarsely chop pepper, onion, zucchini . Spread pizze crusca iti cream cheese, layer with 4 slices of provolone and tomatoes slices. Sprinkle, 1/4 cup basil carrots, oregano and thyme. Top with grilled vegetables, then remaining cheese.
Grill pizza, covered, over medium heat until bottom in golden brown and these is melted.
It may seem unusual to add carrot, but it adds a subtle sweet taste to the pizza.
I’m also making some pasta salad again today to take to share with family when we get together are DD’s camp ground. It’ll only be a few of us and not the whole crowd but it will be fun and we plan to go out boating for awhile too.
After several stormy days here this week, the weekend is supposed to be beautiful.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

The 13th hasn't been an unlucky number for these two..!
Happy Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. DS#6 😁
Being a leftie, I can identify with every one of your examples! Yes, I well remember taking handwriting in elementary school. Unfortunately, I never mastered lovely penmanship like your DDH, and lately it's getting worse.
I hope you all have a great time on the lake!
Happy ☺ Anniversary🌹
