Two hands...

This exceptional girl is studying Music at a local University and was looking for audiences to practice her piano "finals" on before the real "finals" at school. We jumped at the chance to hear her play!

What a treat!

Just a little about this girl of whom I think the world, and if you know her I'll bet you agree! The following quote may have been written with her in mind.

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”
-Sam Levenson

Avoiding flashover...

We are blessed with many friends who have exceptional talent at baking and candy making! Not only that, they are generous and share their delicious treats.  Rachelle and Debbie gave us this for Christmas. Yum!   :)

Even the twigs' friends were into the baking and sharing, along with giving homemade glittery cards.     

  

The majority of us in our home don't have this talent. (Our girlie is the exception and loves to bake if she gets the time.) The rest of us are having a good day in the kitchen if we can avoid flashover. Just the other day while in the shower, I heard screams coming from Hunter and hysterical laughing coming from the girlie, then I thought I heard "Fire, Fire, Fire!" Thank Heaven the Mr. was home as Hunter was on the hunt for a fire extinguisher. The Mr. picked up the flaming toaster oven with hot pads and carried it out the front door.

Hunter was just warming up a tortilla...

Yup...it's a good day in our kitchen if we can avoid flashover...and extinguishers.
