YepI have a (stuffed) owl that always says, humans don't realize that feathers are always warmest -- when they're still ON the bird.
Naturally, she advocates for cuddling with birds -- rather than plucking them.
(See what kinds of "wisdom" my friends and family have to endure?)![]()
It's not all bad. This was sent to me by one of my professors. LOL
Thank you for your condolences. I still have the framed caligraphy prayer you personally inscribed. It is next to my bible. The little ones grow up fast, don't they?@tourist , i'm so sorry for your loss! i had no ideaHoly Spirit, please comfort tourist and all who are grieving.
today, little girl and i went to the library. we were there yesterday, too. it's one of our favorite places to visit and it's free! lol today we had the children's playroom reserved for an hour. it's a room full of toys. i invited 2 other moms to join us, but neither could make it today, so it was just little girl and me. after, we went to sonic to pick up lunch and ate at home. little girl is supposed to be taking a nap, but according to the monitor, she's wide awake.
tomorrow, we'll be 1 month away from little girl turning 4 years old!
Her story and that of her husband is a classic CC love story.(For anyone who doesn't know, Melita is another one of our own, similar to Tourist. She came to Singles when she was still single, met someone through a connection here, and never forgot us after she got married.)

Today I went to karaoke and after that I went to an art exhibition. I saw some really talented artists work.
Maybe one day I will get back into it.
I still have a paint-by-numbers to do.
I am going to make Mac and Cheese for dinner, I have two packets left. I am going to add tinned pinneapple and frozen peas to it. I was supposed to go grocery shopping but only managed to get a litre of milk for my baby (boomer) from the dairy and I'm tired.
I also finished reading a book, started another one, and decided I would play Hello Kitty Island Adventure again. This time Mymelody wants me to build my own house, and her best friend MySweetPiano is coming over to stay.
Saw a beautiful rainbow this morning!
Well, a few of them actually.
I took my daughter to school and I noticed the left half as I pulling out of my parking spot at the gas station.
Then I noticed the top full and arching over to the right side, and as I was pulling away (having to keep eyes on the traffic around me) I noticed the rest of it on the right.
A FULL RAINBOW!I got so excited my daughter had to keep telling me to drive safe and keep my eyes on the road.
*Sigh* okay, guess I had to be a safe driver.
I got her to school safely
And as I puled away, I noticed the sky in that area had turned so dark, so, so, so, so, so very dark.
As I pulled back onto the street I saw more rainbow. It had turned into a double and was so pretty.
When I pulled onto the street and the buildings were no longer blocking my view, I began driving towards the dark sky when suddenly I saw the brightest colors pop out from behind the clouds.
Off on the left was a rainbow against the lighter sky that revealed its full arch and stretched off to the right into the dark sky where the colors were so bright and vibrant.
It just left me in awe and I could hear my daughters voice echoing in my mind to be a safe driver because I just wanted to stare at it while driving along.
As I turned this way and that along the road, and the sky shifted it's clouds, the vibrant rainbow went out of view.
I came to a traffic light and had to stop.
As I was looking off to my left I noticed another fully arched rainbow. Well, at least this time I was able to grab my phone and pull up the camera to grab a quick pic. Not too bad for a little flip phone camera, or for the fact that as I doing so the light turned green and I had to move it.

it seems like a very fitting reminder (to me at least) that rainbows show up...
During, or after, a storm.![]()
I wish I could have captured the bright, vibrant rainbow against the dark sky.
It reminded me too that rainbows show up during or after storms.
At that moment, it really reminded me that even in the darkest moments God's promises are still holding true today.
Cream cheese is the single best thing you can pair with pineapple.You always sound like you have a very interesting and colorful life!!
I'm envious of the art exhibition.
I live in the state of Washington, and unfortunately, I don't feel safe at all going to the bigger cultural places by myself (the homeless and drugs are a huge problem here.) This is something I miss about living in other states -- I felt a lot more peace about traveling alone -- but safety concerns are becoming a bigger issue everywhere.
How did the pineapple and pea mac'n'cheese turn out?
Definitely sounds like an interesting combo.
IDK why but I always thought you were male.Women fellowship night. We have this for almost 2 decades, women come and go, but Holy spirit with us, bringing peace and joy in sisters.
Love it![]()

On internet we need to be very careful. Yes agree, avoid things too personal.IDK why but I always thought you were male.
Sorry, but I don't have anything interesting to add to this thread and I no longer want to post anything personal anymore.
Is cream cheese the same as ricotta?Cream cheese is the single best thing you can pair with pineapple.
Consequently pineapple cheesecake is awesome.
You can even make a tasty pineapple pizza if you swap in cream cheese for regular pizza cheeses.
Ricotta cheese is different, usually in canoli fillingIs cream cheese the same as ricotta?
I have a tub of that sitting in my fridge I haven't used yet and the expiry date is soon.
