"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8

The Sheep's Learning!
As I stated in my last blog I'm a technological oaf so my progress will be super-slow going. However I conquered a few new techniques including how to post from YouTube as evidenced above. I couldn't figure out how to center the video (yet) but I am still excited that I was able to figure out, on my own, how to share this cool kitchen tip with you! I haven't tried this out yet but I'm pretty geeked up see if it works. Let me know if you have tried this out and had success.
Some people may like to slap me for this, but I enjoy the winter snow. I don't particularly like to drive in a blizzard but I do like to play around in it and I don't even mind shoveling
Stuck in the pudding!
...it's good exercise! Through all my longgggg years, I've recently learned a to have an attitude of adventure and not apprehension about the challenges in life that plop along in my path. I learned this lesson a few summers ago when the hubster and I headed to the U.P. (that's the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for those not-in-the-know) to drive up to Mt. Arvon, Michigan's highest point. Our excursion was in the Spring so, unbeknownst to us, the dirt road to the top was more like a thick, chocolate pudding. Sounds yummy but not to drive on. We presently got stuck, no more like glued, into this slurry and absolutely nothing we did helped. Lots of praying ensued and somehow I was able to get through to AAA (remember we were in a mountainy area). After much apprehension (at points I yelled for help to hubby's annoyment) we were rescued by some great Yoopers (for those not from Michigan, those who live in the U.P.). I kept apologizing for our predicament and the tow truck driver told us it was okay and that that's what sometimes happens when you go "adventuring" and another just chortled "Ah, we do dat fer fun!". I love the Yopper attitude and I've been trying to adopt it as my own ever since. This mind set certainly helps, especially during our brisk Midwest Winters. As I said earlier, I always did like winter and still do. My favorite activity is to just savor the view and perhaps take a few pics like the two I've shared today. I hope you fancy them. I can only hope so as I have tons more to share in the future!
