Have you used your imagination today-

One Inch Tall


If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool.
A crumb of cake would be a feast
And last you seven days at least,
A flea would be a frightening beast
If you were one inch tall.

If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,
And it would take about a month to get down to the store.
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You'd swing upon a spider's thread,
And wear a thimble on your head
If you were one inch tall.

You'd surf across the kitchen sink
upon a stick of gum.
You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb.
You'd run from people's feet in fright,
To move a pen would take all night,
(This poem took fourteen years to write--
'Cause I'm just one inch tall). - Shel Silverstein

Pay if Forward

I have been gifted in the Pay It Forward Blog exchange. I recieved this lovely set for my kitchen. from Mrs.Smith at Our Plain and Simple Life.
It's almost too pretty to use! I also received this lovely set of coasters ( my wedding colors!) from Mrs. Booth over at Suburban Homestead but I didn't want to hide them under a cup so I added ribbons and hung them on my living room wall.

PIF

Pay if Forward. I got some goodies in the mail. From two sweet sisters!!! More info to come. Now I get to PIF!!!!

end of our rope(s)

This week has been pretty tame. We have been recooperating from surgery and getting ready for Hanukkah. HUsband showed the boys how to make rope- he made a rope-machine and they employed some of mommy's embroidery floss to create friendship bracelets.

7 worst foods to consume.- Yikes.

Read this before you go grocery shopping- please.

cheese danish YU MMY!

Note: I doubled it and put it in an 11x13 pyrex pan.

EASY CHEESE DANISH

2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. lemon juice
1 egg yolk
2 cans crescent rolls
1 egg white
1 tsp. water

Butter a 9x13 inch pan. Spread 1 can of crescent rolls in bottom of pan. Press seams together with fingers.

Mix cream cheese, vanilla, lemon juice and egg yolk together; spread over rolls. Cover with second can of rolls.

Mix and spread on top 1 teaspoon water and egg white. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Although the recipe calls for a 9x13 pan, I use a slightly larger one, preferring the Danish not so thick.

He is the Great Physican

My husband and son made it through their tonsillectomy and adnoidectomy and they are already starting to eat soft foods. I have to keep an eye on my younger son's temperature though as he has a slight fever. I was so thankful to have a sister in Christ as our nurse! We are so blessed. God is so good! I am hoping this takes care of my husband's sleep apnea and my son's need for so many allergy medications to breathe.
(also the night before my son had to go to the emergency room because he tried to break a piece of scrap sheetrock with his head like kung-fu guys do. He sprained his neck. So he is doubly recuperating.)
