DO CANNIBALS EAT HERBS?

"DO CANNIBALS EAT HERBS?!" What? So, we were roamin’ for Ramen around here again today and Garnet Rose was making the oriental broth kind and I said that it had herbs in it. Pronouncing the “H”. Lorraine and Garnet Rose laughed so hard at me and corrected me saying it was “erbs”. I think I captured the laugh. Garnet Rose knows my silly humor, but Lorraine probably thinks I am cuckoo! Which, I am! I knew that it was prnounced "erb", but it was worth the laugh. And, I promise you all we don’t put Herbs in our soup. Or. any humans at all, for that matter. Unless the cupboards are bare. PIMP LOL. SIGNED, Herb Is Safe With Me, For Now

Family

At the risk of sounding cliche'?Um..let the sun shine in... PIMP LOL. My fam... We tryin' ta look good. Or is it bad?! Who knows anymore! Let's just go with we tryin' ta look on the bright side.   Trace

Roamin' For Ramen

Never eat Ramen right out of the kettle with a lose screw, while working on the computer. Yep. I was holding a hot kettle full of oriental ramen and the handle fell off and poured on my lap and my keyboard. All over! Even got noodle on my noodle! I even look oriental. Surprisingly I had quick reflexes and caught all the pieces halfway through the mess. So, I had enough to eat after I cleaned up the mess! And, what a mess. If you don’t see me on for a while you will know it did damage. And, no. I wasn’t talking about me with the lose screw. That would be the pot calling the kettle black. Well, I gotta go get a handle on things. And, a handle back on the kettle. PIMP LOL DUH LOL. Wow. Good thing I hadn’t showered yet. No more ramen while roamin’ the internet. BUT! A li'l ramen IS good for the noodle. And the body. And, a li'l singing and hard work? Ramen for the soul. They all put color in my face. And, my soul. Have a fun day. I’m doing housework, computer work and then fixing someone else’s computer. And, hopefully singing! Off to tighten things up! Got a few lose screws. So, let your noodle roam. That's Ramen for "when thinking, anything's possible"! And, with God? Anything is. Just thought I'd run this li'l story pasta you! Oh! And, BTW? My pig Grace loved Oodles Of Noodles, too! I would hold a long curly noodle and she would slurp it up. Jus' sayin'. And, I'm thinkin' next time? Use a bowl. So, what do you get when Ramen meets a keyboard? Chop sticky keys! PIMP LOL. SIGNED, I’M SUCH A NOODLE WHO DOESN'T MIND LOOKING LIKE AN IDIOT & WHOSE TRYIN’ TO GET A HANDLE ON THINGS

Heavy Loads & Hay Days!

"Heavy Loads & Hay Days!" So, this past week as my girl graduated, I was thinking about when I graduated. Thinking about my “Hey Day”. Which got me thinking… We all feel like, sometimes, the heaviness in life is having a heyday with us, right? And, feel like you’re carrying a heavy load of hay. Instead of a heavy load of “Hey! you’re doing great and loved by all!” And, the straw that broke the camel’s back is about to break yours. Take a break. Have a hey! day! And, take time to say hey to someone else. Thinking about and taking time for others helps you forget your own hay! PIMP LOL DUH LOL. And, hey! Yes I know that hayday is really spelled heyday and means at the height of and with vigor. And, yes that is me in the photodrama looking up and pulling the hay. But, I would never try to pull the hay over your eyes! PIMP LOL. So, this is me saying “hey!” to all of you and letting you know I care. Turns my heavy hayday into a hey!day. And, hey now! That’s a load I can carry. Most importantly? Don't forget to say hey to the Hey Maker and Carry-er Of Our Heavy Loads. Signed, Carry-ing On Cuz Hey Isn’t Just For Horses

ADORE THE ALLURE, EXPLORE THE GALORE!

"ADORE THE ALLURE, EXPLORE THE GALORE!" What? If you’re havin’ a deplorable day, I implore you to explore your galore of the more smaller blessings. When, you do that? They’ll be more in store. Of that, I assure. See, that’s the allure of having a rapport with thankfulness for the small things… Makes you thankful big! Today? I am thankful because my daughter is a miracle. I couldn't have children. I did! And! Dr.'s never thought I'd still be here. Thankful to be there for my girl's graduation. And, thankful I found these last couple photos from that day to make new memories. Scroll backwards through our senior year moments and senior moments album to see what I am thankful for. Here's the link: Senior Year Moments & Senior Moments! Most days? I am just thankful if I can breathe and eat a bite and sing and live and serve. Signed, Adore The Allure, Explore The Galore

Find The Crack!

"Find The Crack!" No! It's not a police slogan! But, it is dope! PIMP LOL DUH LOL. It's a dope hope slogan! Find the crack and shatter the darkness! Just my pot shot at humor during darkness. A bit of um...dark humor. SIGNED, Trying 2 Crack Myself Up & Shatter The Darkness

SHE MAY BE A BASKET CASE, BUT SHE NEVER FOLDS OR THROWS IN THE TOWEL!

“SHE MAY BE A BASKET CASE, BUT SHE NEVER FOLDS OR THROWS IN THE TOWEL!” What? Well, so, this morning, I was trying to get myself movin’ and doing the laundry and was feelin' kind of weak and scared. Then, I remembered a time when I couldn't even get up, let alone do the wash or fold it. God has brought me far. Today, I am glad to be able to do the wash. Fearlessly... Before you fold or throw the towel in? Remember, how far you have come… And, remember who calms those fears. Then, go further… Fearlessly. And, that is why I write and sing and live… Okay, enough mush. Now some fun. I admit, I have used my dryer as a drawer and my dishwasher as a dish cabinet. You know you’ve done it, too! Left your finished cycle of clean dry dishes in there and your finished cycle of clean dry clothes in the other. Not anymore for me. My dishwasher’s dead and my dryer's on its last leg. Now, I have to put the dishes away in their actual cabinets. BUT! I CAN use my old washline as a closet. It’s a walkin-in. Well, a walk-out…side! PIMP LOL. What? It’s very spacious and fresh smelling! Have a fun day! I might be cycling through life with hives and sick, but I am clean and dry and thankful. Yes, I may snap someone with a wet towel, but I will never throw it in. PIMP LOL. Now, speaking of fun and singing? Here’s our newest story and vid and song over at YouTube from our lost and found jams. It's called "I Saw The Love". I hope that's what you see in us. It’s over 6 minutes of fun. You might even see an alien, a girl dancing and a horse whisperer. Well, a guy whisperer. PIMP LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXtrvrK4zeM SIGNED, She May Be A Basket Case, But She Never Folds Or Throws In The Towel

DOWNWARD SPIRALS!

“DOWNWARD SPIRALS!” On a downward spiral this morning. What’s up with that? See, there are 3 situations when a downward spiral is a step in the right direction and a good thing. #1 When you’re upstairs and need the spiral staircase to escape a fire. #2 When you’re the fireman and you need to get down in a hurry to go put out a fire and help someone escape. And, #3? Umm…the downward spiral movement of the firey inner workings of our bodies. PIMP LOL. But, then, that’s situational comedy of the 3 situations. What? Gotta throw in humor with the hope. So, anyways, sometimes, the only way out IS down. And, it feels mighty fine when you get to the bottom. Whether you gotta put out a fire, get out of a fire or help someone who’s already at the bottom. You will always find a light on the way down as well as the way up. If you look. BTW, my downward spiral this morning? Number 3! PIMP LOL DUH LOL. Which is a good thing. So maybe your downward spiral doesn’t require a bathroom, (you may later PIMP LOL), and you need to find the fire escape staircase or the fireman. Even the light is dim. Pray for help. Follow the light and the Fireman down. Like it says in Corinthians, no temptation will overtake you without Him leaving you a way to escape. When you get to the bottom, look up. Be thankful you’re there. Still alive. Whatever the situation may be. Thankful to mighty God when things going on a downward spiral is a mighty hard thing but, actually leaves you looking up! Trace
