Last post

This will be my last post.
I have been finding myself spending entirely too much time online and have decided to only keep my e-mail and of course Pogo and Facebook accounts active.
This has been fun but now the nicer weather is approaching I feel my time would be better spent with family and outdoor activities.

Sad to hear of the passing of a legend

Today I was saddened to hear of the passing of one of my favorite starlets, Elizabeth Taylor.
The world has lost a true legend.

 Ellizabeth Taylor not only lived a fairly long, very full life... I admire that
she lived it as she pleased.

It is nice to hear she reached 79 years of age.

RIP Elizabeth Taylor <3

Sick of the Winter already!

I don't know about you but I am so sick of the winter already!!!!
This morning I awoke very crabby not just because of the weather.
I haven't been able to sleep for the past 3 months very well , averaging about 1 1/2 -3 hours sleep if I am lucky.
I have tried everything I can to get some sleep, I am tired, crabby and sick of even getting out of bed each day because of it.
Pretty bad when you get up in the morning and look at the clock to see how long I have until I can go to bed again and start all over again!
Days are bad and nights are even worse seems I will have to try afternoon naps!

First Day of Spring!

Well it is the first day of spring and I am not too impressed!
When I awoke this morning the last thing I expected was to see the ground white again!
The weather called for some rain and apparently the temperatures dropped down low enough to blanket us in that darn white stuff.

I really hope that where you are is nice and sunny and snow free on this first day of spring!

Sunday

Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid: for the LORD thy God, he  is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Saturday in the Sunshine

Good morning!
Today I am going to be enjoying the sunshine and cleaning up the backyard.
Since this town has put in a Tim Hortons it seems that I spend each Saturday morning cleaning up their garbage that inconsiderate people toss out and the wind blows it onto our yard.
Funny thing about that we live at the other end of town and Ican only imagine what it is like to live close by the donut shop.

Then I will be spending my afternoon with family.
Whatare your plans for this beautiful Saturday?

Friday's Favourites

Good Morning!
Today is starting out to be a beautiful day  the sun is shining and the birds are singing...it is starting to look and feel like spring.
Today's favourite is... my Cream of Tomato Soup
This soup is made in one small pot and one large pot, the small pot is for making a white sauce and the large pot is where you mix all of the ingredients together to simmer into a flavourful  tomato soup.

Cream of Tomato Soup

3 cups peeled, chopped tomatoes (2 large cans of Marsala tomatoes in winter)
2 cups of water 1 small minced onion
1- 5 1/2 ounce can of tomato paste
2 teaspoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon of basil leaves dried or 1/2 stalk of fresh basil chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
a pinch of pepper
mix together and bring to boil stirring occasionally
reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes
In small saucepan make white sauce with 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour and 1 cup of milk or cream
once made add a ladle of the tomato mixture and mix together then gradually add white sauce to hot tomato mixture stirring constantly.
Once heated through, serve and enjoy!
