There are so many destructive weather patterns, and devastating natural disasters. What's going on? None of us are safe. We must live each day with our hearts in the right place. Love one another while we have the chance. Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us.
So many of these natural phenomenon happens when we are asleep for the night. Therefore, we never hear the warnings, if the weather personnel have the time themselves to issue these warnings. We must pray and thank God for each and every time He allows us to wake up to a brand new day. We must not take anything for granted.
The very air we breathe is measured by our God. Give Him the thanks and praise for all things. God is still in control of everything. His acts are very powerful. Let us who are alive and well, pray for Grace and Mercy to our Creator

Take A Hike!
I absolutely love hiking in the woods. I can't do it very often because I don't care to go it alone.
Whenever I can persuade anyone to walk with me, well, I feel as though I've just hit the jackpot.
Hubby and I were in the woods for a stroll the other day. It was so very windy and cold, but, still, I enjoyed the time we hiked that day.
I was ready to go in the woods again the next day, but Hubby had other things to do. I will go again the very second I get another walking partner that's willing to make some steps with me.
The trees are georgeous to look at, small animals are scampering across your feet, minute patches of the sky can be seen between the tall trees when you look up.
I am a true nature lover. Just to hear the dry leaves, small twigs, and other debris from the woods crackling underneath your feet, are noises that can be invisioned, even if you're nowhere near the woods. A hour or so hike in the woods is so refreshing. Afterwards, there's nothing you feel you can't do. Try it sometimes. I know you will love it!

Is Marriage for Everyone?
Marriage is not for everyone. If one is free-spirited and care free overall, he or she should think over the decision before getting married super carefully. Being married requires lots of give and take on the part of both partners. There are personal interests one may develop over time, but if it starts to detract time from the husband or children, one must reconsider his or her intentions.
The union of marriage is ordained by our Creator. When a wedding takes place, a covernant, or an agreement, is made between the two creatures, along with their Creator. If no sacrifice, unselfishness, labor, or love, etc, goes into a marriage, nothing but heartache and turmoil can be expected to come out of it.
Children are gifts from our Creator. They are so precious. They really are extensions of Mom and Pop. We are their very first teachers. So, beware, Parents. Whatever you say, you will find it being repeated at the most unexpected times. It doesn't matter if things were said in jest or in a more serious tone, it will be repeated just the same.
There is no institution on earth quite like the instution of marriage. But, think carefully about what you are getting into. No one knows what lies ahead; seek premartial conselling to obtain a sneak preview. You just may not take the plunge.

Spring is Approaching!
We are experiencing a wonderful winter this year, but, of course, I'm rallying for the springtime. That is my favorite of all the four seasons. The trees put on new wardrobes of glossy green attire and elegant blossoms. The floral scents from the budding flowers and trees can be intoxicating. The birds are busy building nests and starting new families; as we shake off the last of the winter doldrums, we start to plan our Spring projects.
Planting a garden is tops on the 'will do' list. This spring, I would like to plant tomatoes in large, individual containers. We have always raised them in the typical garden rows. I wish to experiment somewhat. I will do eggplants, orange and red bell peppers, okra, ect. It is always fun to watch and work with growing things. Plus, there's so much reward in reaping the harvest.
Spring cleaning is another not-so-fun project, but it should be attempted, anyway. Closets to be sorted out; also drawers full of socks, scarves and hair barettes, etc., need to be sorted, and what's not being used should be donated to a worthy cause. Curtains and windows should be cleaned and/or changed. Spring represents many changes and many chores. They can only get done if we're dilligent and self-motivated. Let us carry on.

Red Velvet Cake
My interpretation of Red Velvet Cake is that it is the 'jewel' of all cakes if it's prepared and baked just so. The texture must be moist, but firm enough to handle when cutting and serving.
The icing should be rich, creamy and velvety smooth. An even more special treat is to lightly roast pecans, then crush them up and add to the frosting before applying it to the cake. Ah, sumptious!
A friend of mine made my family a Red Velvet Cake for a special occasion. What a wonderful surprise! First, I had no idea that my friend could cook, much less make such a jewel of a cake.
We enjoyed that cake to the very last crumb! Kudos to the Chef! May all your cakes turn out that great from here on in!

The Quietest Snow
The snow that fell Friday, the 12th of February, 2010, was such a calm and beautiful act of nature, that it left such a wonderful impression on all of us. We didn't quite know what to make of it. A few pine branches fell in the front yard and in the garden area.
Driving was never a problem for anyone who could actually drive in the first place. We proceeded to bare the supermarket shelves, which, in this case was decidedly unnecessary.
We were able to get to the stores pronto! the next day. I was not deprived of any of the basic
necessaties; water, lights, heat, etc.
We enjoyed a georgeous show of nature in a spectacular and most magnificent way. O, The Power of the Creator! Can not be duplicated!

Baby Sis Is Gone!
My Baby Sis has left me for good. She is now in a better place from now throughout all eternity. My Sis is talking to the Angels. She has now become a beautiful Angel herself. Sis was never a stranger to anyone, so now she is among the select beings, sharing things in ways that only she can.
Her type of humor and charm resonated all around her, wherever she went. Baby Sis had a unique
brand of conversing that left the listeners wondering and pondering over her rationale for some time after the conversation was long finished.
I truly miss my Baby Sis now, and I shall until we meet again in another dimension; on another shore. I'm so very glad that Baby Sis is finally free and happy at last. She longed for quite some time for that ultimate peace, happiness, and freedom. She now have it in it's entirety. I am estatic for her. I miss you, Baby Sis! You are always in my heart. I love you! Soar on!!
