Happy Wednesday Sweet Beachy! I'm going to try to make this the very first post just for you, but Tomkow is quick on the draw. First, here is a plate of pancakes:


I'm slowly catching up on reading 7 weeks worth of news and messages. 3 weeks down, 4 more to go! I see your kissing chimp has a new sparkly lip gloss. More importantly, I caught sight of a couple pictures of your beautiful grandchildren! You are blessed to have such angels.

Can you believe this weather? We have been getting pounded with some of the worst electrical storms that I have seen in my life. More later . . . must post this before . . .

[HopeandGlory]

Good morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

God Bless our Commander in Chief . . . and . . . God Bless Our Troops..

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation UNDER GOD,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Prayers going up.

Pancakes and a meat side judged a Heavenly meal.

Jdg 6:19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought [it] out unto him under the oak, and presented [it].

Jdg 6:20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay [them] upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

Jdg 6:21 Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that [was] in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

How does a pancake MRE rate on the tastebud scale?
