SOME DAYS FOR MEME

a blank post.....or not:-)
I was trying to come up with something to write and nearly did not-- then I was still and heard this deep in my heart.....
---------------------------------------------------------
For me, some days are still hard.....and just going from the morning ....(mourning)......to the night seems like a struggle-- but only on some days-
I know that you, Lord are with me on these days as well as the good days-
I saw a little story about a widow who never over came her tragedy of her loss-She let hardness enter her heart---she was always cynical and negative=She did become lonely and stayed looking in-ward until her death. She missed living......so much to see and so much to doso much to hear and so much to be-
Lord, keep my mind stayed on Thee
and
let me not think of my sorrows as my score but my blessings instead- It's the little things
that are daily----that are just there-- automatic blessings
-hugs from Meme

Here is a little quote prayer- but author unknown
Dear Lord,How I wish I had been kinder--
---and more patient on this day.
How I wish I had been gentler,
Had a little less to say,
Mindful of regret and sorrow,
Teach me be wiser tomorrow.

recipe for this week--angel eggs

I enjoy this recipe so wanted to share it with you- have a rainbow weekend--with hugs from me
-----------------
ANGEL EGGS WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

12 hard cooked eggs- cooled
1/4 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese-(you can use sharp cheddar cheese also)
4 table spoons mayonnaise
4 table spoons sour cream
pinch of salt- and pepper- both are optional -
Cut eggs in half - length ways - and remove yolks from eggs- cut tiny edge of whites to give flat bottom and set white halves a side-
add edges of white and yolks together and add the other ingredients-- Mash with fork until well mixed - if mixture appears dry- add a bit more mayo.
fill each egg white with approx. 1 (one) tablespoon of mixture-- and garish as desired-
(chopped fine parsley makes a nice color contrast)
------------------
you can also use recipe as egg salad for sandwiches by using all the whites in mixture and adjusting mayo-

COLD DAY

  • I tried to be a couch potato today
  • and it lasted until 4 o'clock
  • but then I got tired of just laying
  • around watching tv and reading etc.
  • I think it is harder to see rainbows
  • when one does nothing
  • so I did get up and check
  • out my rainbows
  • we are cold but not as cold as the first cold
  • little snow
  • wind light
  • sunshine
  • so although the weather was not my favorite weather
  • it was still a blessing
  • our roof does not leak
  • our pipes did not freeze
  • food for our tummies
  • clothes to wear to keep us warm
  • home-much rather than homeless
  • behold- the rainbows
  • ------

rainbow weather

our weather is holding out with sunshine and
no more snow------
not a big day here as I am declaring war on my
kitchen and weeding
out stuff that just resides there
but does nothing useful for me
when papa hubby was here we used
bigger pots and pans and so on
I have decided to keep the house plants
and the tea pots-
and then I will choose to lose
to many things
I know there will be a rainbow at the end of cleaning

A NEW RAINBOW

MEME JUST BOUGHT A NEW RED PURSE-
IT WAS A BARGAIN BIN SALE ITEM-
AND IT JUST CHEERED ME UP - BOTH THE COLOR AND THE PRICE
--I NEED A BRIGHT COLOR FOR PURSES AS IT HELPS REMIND ME THAT I BROUGHT IT WITH ME--
AND I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET (SMILE)
- AND ALSO I CAN FIND THINGS IN IT WITH EASE-AS THE INSIDE IS RED TOO- WHEN WE ARE OLDER AND HAVE POOR SIGHT IT IS HARD TO FIND SMALL ITEMS -
BECAUSE MY EYE SIGHT IS POOR; BLACK IS NOT A GOOD COLOR FOR ME
- THIS IS A CHEERY RED AND A NICE MEDIUM TO SMALL SIZE AND EVEN IF IT IS JUST A CHEAPO - IT WILL KEEP ME RED AND CHEERY FOR A LONG WHILE-
I LOVE RED SOCKS TOO BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY
AND THE CAPS HERE MEAN THAT I AM JUST HAPPY TO HAVE A NEW RED PURSE--LOL- AND it
-ALSO MEANS I FORGOT TO HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON-

I believe that the Lord does bless us with small seemingly unimportant things to bring cheer into our life----I do not mean that we should be foolish or careless with our money or our time but that it is a good thing to give blessings to our selves now and then.
Rainbows are made of colors to brighten our lives and comes with the promise that we can trust Him
