<>< ping for poundage
How nice to have a thread of fun & smiles to visit..just want to share a FReeper friend's situation.. the last few steps in the trail of life for my very good friend Lew..
He would always visit when I did one of the threads for Finest & the Singles.. a true gentleman. If you have some time please do pray for his journey & give him one of your great graphics of encouragement. We never know when it will be our time of journey to the great beyond & how impt those notes of love will be...
Prissy Missy says thank you. That picture is almost a year old but I didn’t feel like downloading any newer ones.
If I can find her school picture on line, I will post it. She is really growing; she wants to wear skirts and dresses to school now. Since the days are getting hot, I quit insisting that she wear pants.
Marissa laughed when she saw your jumping mouse.
Though she didn’t say she was worried, she had trouble sleeping.
When I picked her up yesterday, the first thing she did when she saw me was smile and say, “You look happy!” Then she grabbed me and asked what the judge said.
I hate it that she had to worry about this. I guess that I am too honest with her.
Yes, our prayers were answered.
Perfect combo! Thanks again. :) (((HUGS)))
Yup! Hear that. :)
Thanks for the poundage ping. :)
Hi, Dolly.
Thank you; doubt that you would have recognized her. She is not the same little girl that visited Ohio. She is now 9 1/2.
Time flies.
Love it. Ive used Edwardian Script a lot, and have so many pretty script fonts installed but can’t seem to resist adding more when I see another pretty one.
I think honesty is the best policy, with everyone, including children. If we don't tell them what is going on - they "GUESS" - and oft times, the 'guess is wrong, causing more worry.
With children -ALWAYS tell the truth - even if you leave some of the 'details' out - they will always know that they don't have to wonder about 'reality in this world.'
If they want to know more - tell them.
You done GOOD, Amy, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I (yorkie) have had (and made) this recipe for over 25 years! It is the absolutely best cheesecake ever - in the world. I had a slice of it at a gathering of friends, and begged for the recipe - (even before it was published in Bon Appetie magazine.)
I had to promise not to share the recipe - until after it was published, which is a promise I kept, but continued to make it (in secret, of course.)
******************************************
PAGLIACCI’S NEW YORK CHEESECAKE
This recipe was given to Bon Appetit magazine by the renowned Victoria, B.C. restaurant, Pagliacci’s. It’s been an institution in that beautiful city for decades and this cheesecake is just one of the menu items people can’t get enough of. It’s a deceptively simple and decadent treat.
Easily adapts to low carbing by substituting Splenda (or Davinci’s Syrup) for the sugar, a nut crust for the crumb one and omitting the flour. SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)
Ingredients
Crust
1 1/4 cups graham wafer crumbs (I prefer vanilla wafer crumbs)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
Filling
40 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
(5 eight ounce packages)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup whipping cream
DIRECTIONS
1. Mix crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and butter and press into a 10” spring form pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Preheat oven to 500º.
3. Beat cream cheese with electric mixer in large bowl until very smooth. Blend in lemon juice and vanilla. Sift sugar, flour and salt together and gradually beat into cheese. Beat until creamy, smooth and light, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs and yolks one at a time. Blend in cream. Pour into crust.
4. Bake 12 minutes.
5. Reduce oven temperature to 200º. Continue baking until tester inserted in centre comes out clean. The original recipe said for 45 minutes but I find (having made this at least 30 times in two different ovens) that it takes about 90 minutes.
6. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan. Cool cake completely and refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving.
Big, happy hugs to you and your gramma and grampa! I am so glad to hear your good news!

Our Lord Jesus Christ healed many of physical blindness during His time on earth. But of greater concern to Him were the spiritually blind. Many of the religious authorities who investigated the healing of the blind man refused to believe that Jesus was not a sinner (John 9:13-34). This caused Jesus to say, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind” (v.39).
The apostle Paul wrote of this spiritual blindness when he said, “If our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” (2 Cor. 4:3-4).
The psalmist said, “The entrance of Your words gives light” (Ps. 119:130). God’s Word is what will open our eyes and cure spiritual blindness.
This is so cute, Billie.

Thank you again for taking us to Italy yesterday. It was a great trip.
Thank you, Lori.
Marissa is so much more relaxed. She was feeling very insecure, even tho I told her the attorney said not to worry until he told us to.
She knows that we love her and she knows that this is where she belongs.
Also, thank you for letting me vent the other evening. I didn’t realize how much “stuff” I was holding. :)
Hugs
Thank you, Kitty Mittens. Marissa and I want to thank you for your prayers. God heard our prayers!
Thank you for your compliments on my Bird Graphic. I enjoyed working on that and since I had no internet, I had plenty of time. :)
Thank you for bringing good night greetings and blessings to Amy’s Place.
Hugs
