2007

Happy New Year! I don't make resolutions but I want to be a better person this coming year. I don't want to make the same mistakes again. I'm not anywhere near perfect-no one else is either; but I can be better. There are so many examples around me.
I hope you all have a happy healthy new year. God Bless.

Gerald R. Ford Good Bye

Tonight there was a funeral in the capital of this country. It was for our 38th President. He became president not by election but by need. I can remember what it was like in the U.S. then andit wasn't good. The job he did for this country was to get us together and to forgive. He did that and he stands out for his civility. I thank God for giving us this man.
He is lying in state for tonight and there will be services in Michigan on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Battle of the soups

The bean soup turned out great. The pea soup left alot to be desired.I showed why I don't make much pea soup. I took a bowl of the bean soup next door to my elderly neighbors. I didn't share the pea soup. If I don't like it I wont share it. Today I had to cook up some hamburger so I made a cheese burger meat loaf. It went well. It is a good thing I live along since I don't always follow a rescipe. I know how to follow but I get the proportions and then I do my thing. I can go from a premade mundane meal to some concoction that I made up. I guess I have to have some adventure in my life.

Bean or Green Pea

That is what I will do tomorrow. I hope to get 2 pots of soup done. I had to go up to get my Rxs so I stop at store to get the beans and peas. I can't wait. I would start the pea soup now but I am short of storage places and I don't want to put it outside with all the cats running around out side. I wont share my soup ,at least not with those cats. Snow covered views are #1 but soup is a close second for the good things about winter.

Survive?

Well I made it thru another Christmas. I believe in the reason for the season but since I don't have little ones near by the Santa bit leaves me cold. I am not a Scrooge but I don't want gifts. I give what I can but thats it. I want to hear from my sons-that is gift enough.
I fixed what I liked to eat, ate when I wanted and did what I wanted during the day. Afternoon naps arn't bad. I have always felt that it is a family holiday and if you can't be with your family you don't go to someone elses. I had many well meaning invites but I said no.
I sometimes feel that my social graces are lacking since I have lived alone for so many years.

Season's greetings

May you all have a Merry Chtistmas! May the "reason" for this season keep you safe and healthy. God Bless
