Kool-aid

Does anyone remember this? I come from a family of 5 kids born in the 50's. My Mom had a Koolaid pitcher like you remember from the commercials. "Kool-aid, Kool-aid, tastes great, wish we had some, can't wait." Mom made it with less sugar and added fruit juice (we thought it was to taste better).

Well, I have 4 of my own children (Blessings), so it did not take long to save up enough koolaid points to get a free pitcher and a dozen cups. I wonder what happened to them all (some are buried in Gavilan Hills I am sure). This one did not look like the commercials, but sure carried alot of memories.

Kids are gone, life is unstable and memories must be in my heart and mind now. Time to part with the"STUFF". Anyone want mine?

Sweeter Side of Life

I have been using up stuff in the house lately and being experimental. Lots of cake mixes left from the plan to be birthday mom for many years. Anyway, I do remember from years ago that you can make cookies from them. You just add one egg and a softened cube of butter or margarine. You bake them at 350 degrees for about 13 min. They can be quite Tasty. I stated experimenting before my son Steven left for Italy (to study abroad for a semester).

Last night was a very successful endeavor. Wonderfully delicious outcome.

You should experiment too.

Running Away

Life is getting overwhelming. I want to run away NOW! Have to wait a month. Lots to do, go through, finish, tie up. I do not want to face it.

I have been preparing to speak 5 minutes on the "Hope" we have in God. I know why. I need to know that through all of this strife, God is with me, walking alongside, sometimes supporting, and other times pulling me as I kick and scream in pain.

• Thank you Lord for your patience with my stubbornness.


• Thank you for your peace with my turmoil.


• Thank you for your healing with my sickness.


• Thank you for providing people in my life to assure me that I am loved.


• Thank you Lord for your steadfast love in this time of my questioning my life purpose. You are my purpose Lord and look forward to this time to seek your path for me.

I sing Praises
