Luke 2

In the same region there were Shepherds 

out in the field, 

keeping watch over their flock by night.

and an angel of the LORD appeared to them,

and the glory of the Lord shone around them, 

and they were filled with great fear.

And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, 

I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all 

the people.

For unto you is born this day in the City of David 

a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby

wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."

And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude 

of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!" -Luke 2:8-14

It's Cold Here.

It's cold here:)

Goodmorning Gorilla

I must have been as hungry as a gorilla this morning. I started cooking and got carried away.

Gorilla Tacos:


Get out the eggs and the fry pan. Turn on the heat and let the pan warm SLOWLY while you whip the eggs and start singing along to to radio. After you scramble the eggs with margarine, dig around in the fridge and find the left over Sunday dinner... pork and 'taters! Yummmmm! 


Skip to the micro and throw in the Tupperware with the pork, taters, and carrots. Warm three minutes. Get the corn tortillas out and arrange six in a shallow bowl. Switch for the Tupperware in the micro. Heat the tortillas for 1 minute. 


Skip back to the stove top and turn off the heat before your eggs burn. Throw the pork, taters, and carrots in the keep warm. Cover with lid. 


Bouncing to the beat of "Let's Get Together" (Parent Trap, 1961) move on back to the microwave for your tortillas. Rearrange them in the shallow bowl, three sets of two in a row so that they will be strong enough to hold your gorilla sized tacos.


Stuff those tacos with eggs, pork, taters, carrots, and drench it in plenty of Red Hot.


Breakfast. 

This. is. home.

A foreigner from warmer lands

Will laugh at us today

While they are huddled warm inside

We run outside to play

Frostbite nips my bright red nose

I snap another one

The frozen lake, the icy park

I call this having fun

I could begrudge the weather here

But I would miss so much

When living life we must enjoy

The cozy AND the harsh

Enjoying every dazzling sight

I’m taking all this in

I don’t care what the weather is

If I call this my home

My World

This was really cool. 

I took a picture out of the window at the houses

across the street one night.

The evening was beautiful... it certainly didn't 

remind me of a winter night.

It was warm and smelled sweet.

The morning after was just as glorious. 

I took the same picture again.

It was a same temperature outside that

it had been the previous night.

But, something was different... 

Maybe it was the golden sunlight

or the warm, gentle breeze.

Happy Flapper:)
