THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Scratch a dog and you’ll find a permanent job.

As you know, I no longer have dogs of my own any more. But I do enjoy my granddogs. The pictures today are of a few of them, some past and some present. I got to do some dog sitting this summer for my daughter and one of my sons and thoroughly enjoyed it.
A couple of the dogs in our family went over the Rainbow bridge this year and they will be missed. Dogs are truly like family to us.
Friday’s are a day I cook up something new here and on the menu is a new dish to me:
Sheet Pan Lime Shrimp Bake
Makes 4 servings
1 1/2 lbs baby red potatoes cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 tsp sea salt, divided
3 medium limes
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. ground pepper
1/3 lb. asparagus, trimmed
1/2 lb. broccoli, cut into small florets
1 lb uncooked shrimp, about 20 peeled and deveined
2 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in a greased baking pan, drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp sea salt. Stir to combine. Bake 30 minutes . Meanwhile squeeze 1/3 cup juice from limes, reserving fruit. Combine lime juice, malted butter, pepper and remaining sea salt.
Remove pan from oven, stir potatoes. Arrange asparagus, brocolli, shrimp and reserved limes on top of potatoes .Pour lime juice mixture over vegetables and shrimp
Bake shrimp until it turns pink and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve.
I don’t have any asparagus so will just have brocolli in mine, And I don’t have fresh cilantro so will sprinkle mine with dried.
There is a good chance of rain showers today so I’m going to stay in and try to finish up some things I never got done this week like my laundry and the dishes. They are never ending it seems.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday !

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
10,555. for my grand dogs, they are like family
10,556. for a new dish to try
10,557. for a day to get things finished up here.
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
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 EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU!

Show your appreciation for dogs today !
I'd forgotten today is National Dog Day!
Our 'little' (Grace Evelyn) is having dental work done this morning. Because the vet's a 40-minute drive away, we took her last night to be boarded so she can be first up. I know it's a routine thing but I'm so apprehensive, on pins and needles. Yep, she's going to get lots of coddling and cuddling. Both of them.
A dog or two, Bingo and Ace made this boy's life much better and sweeter. No one listens to your problems like your dog...
