No, I haven’t always been allergic to shellfish - but have gone into anaphalactic shock five times since the allergy first surfaced. (About 35 years ago).
I make my tartar sauce from scratch (except for the Mayo.) It is much better than any of the stuff you find in jars at the supermarket.
That is such a sweet graphic, Jaycee.
Goodnight and sweet dreams.
The custom of a bachelor party before a wedding is often characterized by drunkenness and carousing. The party-hearty attitude seems driven by the belief that the groom will soon be married and have to settle down to a life of domestic boredom.
Not long ago, one of my nephews got married. The best man planned a get-together for Joel, but with a refreshing difference. Those invited were asked to bring some thoughts to share that would help him in this new chapter of life.
When I arrived at the informal breakfast, I found a cheerful spirit of camaraderie. Fathers, uncles, brothers, and friends were animated in lively discussion. The father of the bride and the father of the groom were asked to share their advice on what they had learned in their own Christian marriage. Their thoughts were personal, realistic, and biblical.
The book of Proverbs mirrors this kind of mentoring in facing life’s challenges and rewards. “My son, hear the instruction of your father . . . for [it] will be a graceful ornament on your head” (Prov. 1:8-9).
How God-honoring it would be if more couples began their marriage with an attitude that heeded the wisdom of those who walked the path before them.
Wonderful idea!
Loved your Glenn Beck appearance!
Great outing!
Thanks Meg. At least I had more time last night. I need to find that clip so I can post it. I have the last one on you tube.
Our military is wonderful indeed..I love this picture!
I wish you luck on getting your elected reps to work!
Also I mention hiking on Shirley's farm..She had a small ladies brunch last Sunday here are the pix.. . but you can see the home & yard a bit.- she is amazing to essentially alone keep up 100 acres, a home that looks like it is out of House Beautiful & a landscaped yard that seems to be a park...
I took a couple hundred pix at each event & picked out the better ones. about 20% go to the trash
Try Again. Shirley's Ladies Party
thanks.. looking forward to seeing it. I found out about it here after the fact.
O my..How charming, beautiful Shirley’s home is and I loved your flower pictures and her lovely brick patios..and Cali, of course. Thanks for sharing!
Top of the morning to you, Ms Meg. I need to do some cleaning out in my garage and I may try your strategy of working at 4 AM when it’s cooler.
Well, my Democrat Rep voted right on Cap & Tax. Too bad some RINOs didn’t.
Griffith Votes No On Energy Bill
6/26/2009
WASHINGTON – Congressman Parker Griffith released the following statement today regarding his no vote on H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009:
“I voted no because this bill is not in the best interest of North Alabama,” Griffith said. “I am concerned about the negative impact this legislation would have on our economy, the state of Alabama and our nation. We all agree that we need to take measures to make our nation more energy independent, but this bill does that the wrong way and would end up raising rates and imposing unacceptable new taxes on the companies that power the Tennessee Valley. During these economically challenging times, we simply cannot let this happen. Everyone can agree on the long term goals of greener energy, but there is a cheaper and better way to do this without burdening Alabama consumers.
“Under this bill, power companies in Alabama would be required to generate a certain percentage of the electricity they sell from a rigid definition of ‘renewable’ resources included in this legislation. Unfortunately nuclear power and existing hydroelectricity – two resources from which Alabama benefits greatly – are not included in this definition. This legislation would cripple Alabama utilities with high and swift taxes, forcing them to choose between going out of business or passing the cost onto Tennessee Valley consumers.
“We should be focused on creating new jobs and keeping the jobs we have now, but this bill would have the opposite effect and make us less competitive as a region and as a nation. I support the development of renewable energy to make us more energy independent, but unfortunately this bill tries to accomplish these goals in all the wrong ways.”
I did not click on the link...forewarned.. but I’d love some beer battered fried fish...thank you!
You are funny, Meg! JC clicked on it, and she’s still here! LOL!
