TODAY'S QUOTE

The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving in.

Oliver Holmes

HAPPY TUESDAY!

Well, DS#5 came over and sat all the old cupboards on the curb for the trash collectors yesterday evening. We’ll hope they take them. Things are starting to get organized around here, but I still have a lot that won’t ever go back in the cupboards again. They got a good cleaning out !!! At least one room in my house is getting a Spring cleaning…the others will have to wait til later. Take good care all !

Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS...TUNA SANDWICH DAY

Is tuna fish about to replace peanut butter and jelly as everyone's favorite sandwich filling? It looks like the answer is "yes"! Canned tuna has been around for 100 years and is a staple in 85% of American kitchens. A rich source of protein, it's also low-fat and has lots of other nutrients. But, for sandwich lovers, versitility is the key. Starting with a base of tuna and mayonnaise, you can go on a sandwich adventure. Almost anything can be blended with tuna. Experiment!

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

Mark 1:17

Throughout the centuries, many men and women have heard Jesus' call and have become "fishers of men and women." If life has become complicated and you don't know which way to turn, it is my prayer that you will hear Jesus' invitation and respond. You'll be surprised at the changes in your attitude

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

Never turn a loaf of bread upside down. It will bring bad luck

 57 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart

Psalm 37:4

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
