Emily's Birthday Cake

Here are a couple of pictures of Emily's belated birthday cake and the family.

Breakfast

These cinnamon rolls didn't last long.

Beauty in All Things

This shot was taken back in early September. This is a view from the front steps. The north eastern part of Montana is prairie land, which equals flat land with the occasional bump and drop along the way. Not at all like Arizona, but as all God's creations it has beauty, sometimes you have to look and look, then find yourself digging, but it's there. I like this shot and I am thankful for my time in north eastern Montana. Though nothing beats an Arizona sunrise or sunset, and oh those mountains!

Chicken Pot Pie

We really enjoy this dish. The chicken, veggies, and the cream sauce are just wonderful! I usually make two pies and that's just enough with a little left over. One of us usually scoops it out before bedtime.

Color

Doesn't this look good and beautiful. I was making fajitas and snapped this shot. I really don't pay much attention to color in food, but the green from the jalepenos up against the white of the onion was great.

Apple Betty Pie

Here is a tasty dessert we enjoyed back in early September. This was my first time using Dream Whip. I actually preferred it to Cool Whip, though it did take me two packages to make enough for our family. I think it would probably be cheaper to buy Cool Whip, but I like the idea of filling up the pantry instead of the refrigerator/freezer.

With all Breath

While growing frustrated today, I was reminded of
Colossians 3:17

"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."

and

Colossians 3:23

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily (with all breath), as to the Lord, and not unto men."

Lord Jesus, help me to give thanks to you in midst of daily struggles, may I faithfully and humbly serve you with all my being. To God be the Glory!

Wise Words

"Diverse children have their different natures: some are like flesh which nothing but salt will keep from putrefaction (to corrupt, rot), some again like tender fruits that are best preserved with sugar. Those parents are wise that can fit their nurture to their nature."

Beyond Stateliest Marble: The Passionate Femininity of Anne Bradstreet

by Douglas Wilson

Excellent book to read, Anne Bradstreet glorified God as a wife and mother.

Breakfast for Dinner

We had omlettes for dinner a few days ago. I think they tasted better in the evening than in the morning. This may be because I am not fully awake to make a full breakfast. Our omlettes were made with ham, mushrooms, onion, green bell pepper, and cheese. They were delicious! We had breakfast for dinner to use up the eggs. Now that we have chickens we have fresh eggs daily. We collect between 8 to 12 eggs a day.

The comments link has been established, thanks to the help from our friend Diana in Arizona. She walked me through a a few procedures via telephone. So now on to the downloading of pictures.
