I don’t need to text because I send by mental telepathy…you’re not receiving?

Words annoying to hear, but sometimes pleasureable to say: I told you so.

Those who fail have finally succeeded in something.

He who lives in a constant state of expectation is frequently disappointed.

Birds sing at our windows, but some don’t hear them.

It’s not that we don’t know what we believe in—the difficulty comes in living up to it, which confuses everything.

If you desire peace in the world, start with peace in your own house.

We become more devoted to flowers as we age because we come to know how fragile life can be.

Glorify Your Hamburger

It’s funny how a little slice of bacon changes hamburger, both the looks and the flavor. Your husband/kids will think you’ve done something special for them.

This dinner suggestion will be short: make individual thick, roundish patties with your burger-meat, wrap a single slice of uncooked bacon around each–the bacon stretches easily to fit, then slightly flatten each of them, securing the bacon with a toothpick.

I either pan-fry them or put them on the grill. For variation, I might make brown gravy out of the pan juices, or mushroom gravy to top the meat, but it’s not necessary. I did sautéed fresh mushrooms, which I spooned over each pattie.

I served my mock tenderloin (tee-hee) alongside baked potatoes, and a fresh garden salad. Whoa, I mean lettuce and spinach right out of my garden! Okay, I didn’t grow the purple cabbage–it’s still out there growing.

I encourage everybody to raise your own lettuce, spinach, herbs–plant them in a row right beside the pretty little flowers–lettuce makes quite a hedge. Jut don’t try growing greens in the summer–they won’t take the heat. Gardening–that’s another story.

We pride ourselves in that technology has made our world smaller, when really we’re just a breath blowing through this ancient sphere, and nobody can change THAT!

Does a sunrise make you smile :-)
