Have I mentioned lately that I love my parents?




With coffee and dessert in hand,

my father came on a mission of mercy last night.


We talked over life,

situations that were problematic and not remotely amusing.


In the end,

two heads were better than one.


Even the problems we couldn't "fix" weren't quite so heavy.


Before he left,

my father said a blessing.


Though I offer one everyday as I blog,

I must admit it felt wonderful,

if a little odd,

to have one offered for myself and my family.


Tonight and always,

I hope that you find yourself surrounded by those who love you.

That no matter what you face,

there is a hand outstretched toward yours.


And,

if it's helpful to you,

May it contain coffee and a yummy treat along with love!


May you feel the love of God in your life,

May you know that you are loved,

May you be blessed!

Late night happiness

Yes,
I know I said I was headed to bed.
But,
I couldn't resist the call of my kitchen.
I love,
absolutely love,
to make treats to share.
Waiting in my kitchen,
cooling overnight,
are dozens of peanut butter and powder sugar confections,
known affectionately as "Buckeyes"
here in the best state in the U.S.
(Yes, that was a shameless plug for the most wonderful of the fifty states!)
In the morning,
I'll dip them in melted chocolate and let them cool again.
Sigh...
they will taste yummy...
We'll have lots to share.
Pleasant dreams and God Bless.
Good night
