Eat Something Worth Tasting!!!

Friends-

The Kelsey Wynne Harris Foundation is proud to announce the production of "Eat Something Worth Tasting," a cookbook of over 500 recipes. I and many others you know have contributed recipes to this project. The proceeds of the cookbook sales, as well as other "kelsey gear" (found on the below website) will be used to encourage other families dealing with cancer, send kids to camp, and possibly even fund a new writing scholarship in Kelsey's name (since writing was something she loved to do). These cookbooks will make a wonderful addition to your kitchen and will be a great gift to give, no doubt. I am very excited about them!! I should be getting mine soon if you'd like to "see before you buy." Otherwise, please visit the website below to learn more or to place an order.

Above all this... be prayerful for those dealing with cancer and sickness, and be grateful to our Lord for whatever measure of health you have!!

(oh yeah, and don't forget to wash your hands... it's gross out there!!!)

Thanks so much!
Starla

    The diapers stink and leak. I could probably work on them to get rid of these issues but truth is I don't like washing them.

    actually, Jamie is down there right now vacuuming up water :/ We keep an eye on it and sop up a lot of water, so it hasn't gotten into the carpet much, so that is good. Well, I say 'we'--actually it is just J. He is wondering if there is bleach in the water bc our hands crack worse after we carry and wring out the wet towels, and with the mold that has to be developing down there, he is being mindful of me and Baby and doesn't want me to be around it.

    Lehia has the cookbooks now. Pg 126 has whipped potato bake Laura Barker's recipe. Very similar to mine. If you need me to type it out I can.
    by homeschoolmomma23 at 11/16/09 4:45PM
  • homeschoolmomma23
    We turned in a reorder on the 23rd. They said it should be available in 4-6 weeks, so we are right there on the time. I am expecting them by the first week of December. So if you get an order together and collect payment and get it to me, then the day after they come in, I will ship. If I get the cookbooks before I get your order, then I will ship as soon as I get the order, if all that makes sense.
    by homeschoolmomma23 at 11/19/09 8:31AM

    Thanks to God FIRST and MOST but after that, yes---thanks to you. I love you.

    hey starla! i didn't run into DC on 9/11, but overall life continued on as normal. i know that there was a plaque or memorial of some sort remembering the day that pelosi was at a couple days before though...there were e-mails sent to the different agencies that asked for a time of silence at the time when the planes hit.

    Well, I didn't until Juanita told me yesterday. The girls are going to be so sad....=(
    Brad worked Saturday so we didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Weekends are harder for me, the kids are around so I want to spend time with them and pay for it on Monday trying to play catch up.

    We decided that it would be worth the money for sure. However, it's not in our budget this month and while we have the money in order to stick to our budget we have opted against it at this point. I think we have decided we need a deep freeze in order to make the most of it. So now to budget in a deep freeze. :)

    Hey, "BraveDave"! Praise God for you and the work being done in Minnesota. I guess the smallest group I have ever worshipped with was probably 10, when my sister and her husband help start the group in Georgetown, KY. This group will be in my prayers always for God to give them continued strength and knowlege to grow in their faith. BTW what surprise????
    Missed seeing you this weekend. Hope you have a safe trip home. See you soon!! We'll "leave the light on for you".... : )

Free Museum Passes!!!

Hey Friends-

Ran across this online and thought you might be interested (I sure was!). The Smithsonian magazine is sponsoring a free museum day on Sat Sept 26. If you go to the below website, you can sign up to print TWO free passes to be used on the 26th. You can search the site to see which museums are participating across the country, but some of interest to me are the art museum here in New Albany, Steamboat Museum in Jeff, College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Frazier History Museum and Louisville Slugger/Bat Factory in Louisville, as well as Locust Grove. For you moms, you might be able to get grandparents to sign up for the deal as well.

Enjoy!

Some ladies from Galena are going to paint pottery. If you want to go to the meeting any night we are you are welcome to ride along.

    I feel great today, so far! I'll feel even better after I am done packing. Yeah, I would have linked to your page about the museum thing, but I rarely want to take the time to link. Hmmm....wonder if it would have been faster than copying, pasting, and editing though! :) Hope you are having a great day and hope to see you in KY!
