A household tip

I cover the bottom of my trash can with newspaper to soak up any leaks and odors!

Some people can see at a glance what others cannot see
with searchlights and telescopes.

Gary Coleman died today at 42

I remember watching "Different Strokes" in the 1980's and thinking how adorable this
little guy was.  Loved it when he said "Whatchoo talkin bout, Willis?"

RIP Gary Coleman
         "Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help;
          do not be silent at my tears."  (Psalm 39:12)

My journaling of this psalm. 

My belief is that God always sees my tears and knows when I need help.  He will
never forsake me.  He's always there. He's there for you too.  Just reach out....he will
reach back.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Hi,

Just want to wish all of my reader's a Happy Memorial Day on Monday.  I hope all of you have a long

weekend off!  Have you got some great plans this weekend?  I would love to hear some of your

traditions for Memorial Day.  Leave me a comment about how your family celebrates this first

"official" launch of the summer season.  My family usually goes to the legendary Beacon drive-in for

some barbeque!  I love the Beacon and alot of people who come to SC like to visit it. 

Anyway.....relax and enjoy the weekend.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.....come again.

The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none.

Apple-Raisin Oven Pancake

1 apple, cored, peeled and sliced            
1/3 cup raisins                                          
2 T. brown sugar, packed                        
1/2 t. cinnamon                                        
4 eggs
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 T. butter, melted
Garnish:  powdered sugar (optional)

Toss together apple slices, raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon; spoon into a
greased 9" pie plate.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.  Remove from oven; set aside.
Whisk together 4 eggs, milk, flour and butter; pour over apple mixture.  Increase oven temp to 450
degrees; bake until golden, about 15 minutes.  Pancake will puff up and will fall slightly when
removed from the oven.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar; slice into wedges.  Serve warm.
Makes 8 servings.

Enjoy breakfast outdoors on a deck, patio or screened porch!  Pull out the picnic table or
spread out a quilt and enjoy the cool morning air....listen to the birds sing!

Hope you try this delicious pancake.  Freshly squeezed orange juice would be great with this...
