got a new bumper……
um….NOT….but the commercial is funny!
Let’s see…..today I am…44…oh yeah….the big 4..4…
My mother just asked me on the phone if I feel older today. Which always strikes me as a dumb question. IF I feel any older than yesterday, it would only be one day, not a WHOLE year. but whatever…..
Anyway….I’m not like a good portion of the women out there that are upset by growing older. Growing older is a gift! Every year that the number goes up, is another year that God has left me here on this earth with my family to do his will. How could I be upset about that?
Oh, and those gray hairs??
I have earned every..single..one..of..them.. Gray hair used to be seen as a sign of maturity and wisdom…now it’s seen as something bad..to cover up..well NOT me! I’m proud of all those gray hairs! They stand for all the hard times that I’ve been through and have come out on the other side of! Thank God for gray hair!

(of course, no offense intended to those that color their hair. ..personal opinions…and all that.. :)…)

and it’s not even my birthday yet!
D is in the kitchen making me a birthday cake with the 4 youngest.
This is seriously funny stuff folks!!

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible
like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without
it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it as we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

Is this something that makes you wonder…hmmm…where
is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don’t ever have to worry
about our bible being disconnected
because Jesus already paid the bill!

your cluelessness just amazes me…..

Yeah, ok, it’s Wednesday. I couldn’t get on the computer yesterday after I finished my tackle, because of others being on, and hogging the ‘puter! So anyway, I’m here now. 🙂

I’ve been wanting to try and make bagels, so I Tackled that Tuesday. (Oh, and I updated last weeks Tackle it Tuesday with a pic of my new apron.)

shaping the bagels…

Boiling the bagels…It’s hard to get a picture of something boiling, you can’t see through the steam!

The finished bagels, not perfectly shaped, but not bad for the first try…

The kids crowding around drooling over the fresh baked bagels….

Yes, this picture was staged. If it had been a sweet treat, they would have done it on their own, but being bagels, it had to be staged.
We tried one last night, and it was good! Honey Wheat….yum…..
“Who knew I could make a bagel taste like a bagel?! I’m cool…”

Today, I will make my apron! I bought the fabric a couple of weeks ago, but just haven’t found the time to get it done. Since D has to go to a class tonight, I don’t have to worry about having supper ready on time. I might even have the girls cook tonight!
I’ve got the fabric washed and ironed. So I need to go get the pattern cut out. Check back later!

*UPDATE* I didn’t finished the apron until Wednesday. When I got the pattern out, I decided to make this one, instead of the bakers style I was going to make. So it took longer, and the clear as mud directions didn’t help! Here it is!…..

Isn’t this a beautiful apron?
