I'm preparing for Christmas by posting a daily suggestion on facebook of simple things to do to be more outreaching this holiday season. I want to keep the heart of Christmas close and not get so caught up in the chaos. I'm letting my fellow believers know, in case you want to check it out. Start at my blog for my "Shine Your Christmas" project. The older I get, the less I want of all the superficial stuff. Am I getting to be a scrooge?!Marianne (Mare) Baker Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663143060069193124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-85242028871663019862013-12-15T18:58:07.800-08:002013-12-15T18:58:07.800-08:00awwww so sorry about the stomach flu---that stuff ...awwww so sorry about the stomach flu---that stuff is the worse! thank you susan, you always inspire me to push on <3Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-39582401879799647702013-12-15T18:56:58.868-08:002013-12-15T18:56:58.868-08:00oh you should try it marie--it's one of our fa...oh you should try it marie--it's one of our favorite desserts!!! but you know the peach cobbler was a close second---lucky you, tea and bread---glad you had a good day :)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-58373400801554740612013-12-13T22:48:45.643-08:002013-12-13T22:48:45.643-08:00I want to try the gooey cake! lol My mom cooked a...I want to try the gooey cake! lol My mom cooked and we only took tea and bread.

I was so embarrassed! Everyone knows we come from a three dog house, but still. It was a miss. Next time I will make sure that after I spray the mold with cooking spray, I either pour jello in it asap, or cover it so stray pieces of fur can't get in.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754778263332756663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-10755026356852773642013-11-29T13:21:56.587-08:002013-11-29T13:21:56.587-08:00mmm i love grits and almost made a grits dish----a...mmm i love grits and almost made a grits dish----and you know what ms. a--for some reason, i am intimidated by jello salads---i love them though and especially the pretzel one :)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-11609550607489663762013-11-29T13:20:19.254-08:002013-11-29T13:20:19.254-08:00thanks susan--you make me want to make some now---...thanks susan--you make me want to make some now---oh and i have that same motto ;)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-48214259308880031562013-11-29T12:23:14.887-08:002013-11-29T12:23:14.887-08:00Whoa.

Use as many instant, precanned stuff as possible, is my motto.<br /><br />If you make collard greens, cook them with diced ham, bacon, and leeks.
