Friday Fill In

1. The last thing I ate was Ice Cream and a chocolate chip cookie.

2. Groceries is something I recently bought.

3. When it rains, it makes my flowers perk up.

4. J was the first person I talked to today.

5. Hugs are PRICELESS!!!

6. Chocolate is extra comfort.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to C coming to visit, tomorrow my plans include packing and Sunday, I want to Get AWAY!

Here are some pictures of what I did on Thursday.....first I baked 5 loaves of Zucchini Bread. Three went in the freezer for later, one is for Poppop and one is for Now :-)

Then for dinner I made Grilled Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs, Grilled Squash, Green Beans and Salad. My Hubby grew almost everything on the table.....but not the chickens, lettuce or ranch dressing. Those came from Save-a-Lot.

Tomorrow morning after I drop J off at camp I plan to take Poppop his Zucchini Bread. He will be so excited since he hasn't had any since last year. I plan to make more to freeze, especially since he loves it so much. C is coming for a visit tomorrow too! I had to almost BEG him to come, but he finally agreed. YAY. Tomorrow night we will be having something quick and easy....Spaghetti and Meatballs. Frozen Meatballs. See, I told you it was quick and easy.
I hope everyone enjoys their day and has a wonderful weekend! And remember to keep Kate McRae in your prayers!

Priorities

J: I LOVE baseball!

Me: Really? What was your favorite part of playing baseball?

J: The day you worked in the concession stand and saved a bag of cheetos for me!

Me: Oh...ok?

J: Next time give me a hotdog too.

Prayer Request for Kate McRae

Please, I am begging you. If you don't do anything else today, at least do this one simple thing. Pray for Kate. Precious little Kate is battling brain cancer. I read her story yesterday and just can't stop thinking of her and her family. So again, I am begging you......please Pray for healing for little Kate.

So True!

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:'Dear Lord:I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.I want her to know what I go through.So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.Amen!'
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose,
cooked breakfast for his mate,
Awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
Took it to the cleaners
And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
Went grocery shopping,
Then drove home to put away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced the check book.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then, it was already 1P.M.And he hurried to make the beds,
Do the laundry, vacuum ,
Dust and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework.
Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper
After supper,He cleaned the kitchen,
Ran the dishwasher,
Folded laundry,
Bathed the kids,And put them to bedAt 9 P.M .
He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.Amen!'
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were
You'll just have to wait nine months, though.

You got pregnant last night.'
