ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22ND, 2022

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.

93 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Life is a special  

occasion!

Today is National Eclair Day which may have gotten its name from the flash of frosting that glistens across its top, though the direction connection between lightning and this delicious French pastry is unclear.

The eclair has been a favorite treat since its creation in 1860, and it will undoubtably continue to be a bakery shop staple for a long time.  The French call the dough of these treats choux, which is carefully baked to allow for a hollow interior.   Then cream, custard, or puree is piped into its center and it is topped off with fondant icing.

With its flaky dough and sweet creamy filling, this dessert has become a global favorite.  To celebrate today, order some sweets from your local bakery.

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

There is no better way to bring people together than with desserts.

Gail Simmons 

I try to keep some frozen chocolate eclairs in the freezer.  They make a great dessert and all you have to do is thaw them out and they are ready to serve.  They come in a box in the freezer section at the grocery store.   I will definitely be celebrating today ! 

Today I’m going to my daughters house for a little mini vacation.  I’ll be watching their dogs for them while they go away.  This is a joy for me as I need some time with the dogs.  They are like big babies and don’t like to be left alone. 

I’ll be here for almost a week, but will also have to go home now and then to water the flowers, It’s supposed to be hot for a good while.  Today, however we’re to expect some rain.  

No doubt, I’ll be keeping cool in the a/c on this hot and humid day. I don’t have any pictures of eclairs to show you today, but I do have some of DD and her dogs.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS 

All you need is love.  But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.
