HAPPY TUESDAY !
I think my brain got frozen yesterday. I got to work and looked at the calendar and discoverd I had an appointment right after work with our accountant to have my taxes done. Well, all my tax stuff was still at home. Thankfully DD wasn’t working so she went to my house and picked up the paperwork and brought in to work for me. Yeah !
That’s all done and I don’t owe any money either. That’s always good news.
Today I think it’s supposed to get a little warmer. I hope my brain thaws out and works a little better. I’ll be stopping by my folks on the way home from work today. My sister has been taking good care of them and spending the days at their house. Thank the dear Lord she can do that. I’ll spend Saturday with them so she can do some of her own things.
Take good care all !
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS...BARLEY PUDDING DAY
Barley is a hearty grain high in protein and carbohydrates. It is most often seen in soups or stews and usually compared to rice. Using it to make pudding is a traditional Irish method that turns this grain into a delicious dessert
1 quart water
4 Tbsp Pearl barley
1 1/2 lb apples - peeled, cored and sliced
3 Tbsp sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1. Put the barley in the water and bring to the boil. Add the sliced apples and continue cooking over medium-low heat until the barley and apples are soft. 2. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Return mixture to the saucepan. 3. Add sugar and lemon juice. Bring to the boil again. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and then chill. Stir in cream right before serving.
TODAY'S TRIVIA

TODAY'S SMILE
There was a little old cleaning woman that went to the local church. When the invitation was given at the end of the service, she went forward wanting to become a member. The pastor listened as she told him how she had accepted Jesus and wanted to be baptized and become a member of the church.
The pastor thought to himself, "oh my, she is so unkempt, even smells a little, and her fingernails are not clean. She picks up garbage, cleans toilets - what would the members think of her." He told her that she needed to go home and pray about it and then decide.
The following week, here she came again. She told the pastor that she had prayed about it and still wanted to be baptized. "I have passed this church for so long. It is so beautiful, and I truly want to become a member."
Again the pastor told her to go home and pray some more.
A few weeks later while out eating at the restaurant, the pastor saw the little old lady. He did not want her to think that he was ignoring her so he approached her and said, "I have not seen you for a while. Is everything all right?"
"Oh, yes," she said. "I talked with Jesus, and he told me not to worry about becoming a member of your church." "He did?" said the pastor.
"Oh, yes" she replied. He said even He hasn't been able to get into your church yet, and He's been trying for years

Not as strangers, but as brothers
