It has been a joy watching these families grow this summer.

Wild Flower Bouquet
I see these as I go on my walk most every day at this time of year.
Why not bring them inside?!
Just what I needed to brighten my day.

Mishaps...and Consequences
 |
| Ouch! |
Ahhh...(a rental)
Fortunately no one was hurt, the driver was just shaken enough to choose not to drive for awhile.
Morning Beauty
Clouds capture my attention
and so do flowers...
A lesson from the ant...do not be sluggish today. Look how the grass is not even allowed to grow close to their home.

Tasty!
When I chose to become a vegan, one of the foods I have missed most is cottage cheese. I had never thought that there might be a substitute until someone very dear to me offered me...
Tofu Cottage Cheese
It is not exactly the same flavor, but is tantalizing addictive to me.
Here is my version of the recipe:
1 lb. firm tofu....drained
1 1/4 T. minced fresh chives
1t. minced fresh parsley
1/4 t. dill weed
2 t. vegenaise
1 1/2 t. fresh lemon juice
1 t. onion powder
1 t. salt
1/4 t. garlic powder
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Let stand in refrigerator for a short time to let flavors blend.
Lost SD Card...
is found!
The day I filled up my photos SD card, and reached for another one, it was not there!
It took me over a week of cleaning and organizing to find it...I think God has a smile on His face as He sees the lesson I am learning. Just maybe this time I will 'get it'

Summer Activities
We have had a busy summer. Have rarely been on the computer...thus a neglected blog.
A trip to the beautiful state of Washington in May/June
Attending the General Conference in Atlanta, Georgia in June/July
Where we got to see many friends
Visit an aquarium
Listen to music from all over the world
Watch a 5K/10K run
Listen to sermons, devotional thoughts and reports from around the world,
Watch crowds of people visiting the huge exhibit hall
Meeting someone who I am reading about... who has an amazing life story testimony
So many empowering/encouraging experiences packed into 10 days.
Divine Encounter
I debated whether to take the car in to get some routine maintenance done. When I arrived at the shop I was told it would take 4 hours before my car was ready. The thought crossed my mind to Forget It! Come back another day when I knew someone could pick me up if I needed to wait that long. I hesitated...but gave them the go ahead...I would visit the little Dollar Store next door, and memorize their products.
While I was choosing some greeting cards in the store, a familiar face appeared. A woman I had met years ago was buying some cat food, and struck up a conversation. When I told her I was hanging out, waiting for our car to be finished, she invited me to eat lunch with her at her usual hang out not far away.
I really was not hungry, but accepted the offer, knowing that it meant something for her. She kept repeating how she had asked God to send someone TODAY to talk to and share with. We talked about her recent purchase of a TV, and how she deeply desired having internet in her home, but thought it was too expensive. We discussed options, and she left feeling like there might be hope, as it was not as expensive as she thought. She wants to know Gods will for her right now, and we discussed her situation.
This woman wants to do what is right...but has a light mental disorder which she controls with medication.Many people shun her because of this fact. She is searching for Gods will for her. I am sure that God orchestrated our meeting. She is lonely, though she says she has many friends. When I prayed with her before parting she was so grateful.
She gave me hope too, to know that God is interested in the details of our lives. How I questioned whether to wait around for that long for the car...why do it today...there are other days! I had no other appointments...was alone today...did not have to call anyone to tell them what I was doing...it was a blessing He had waiting for me. It was truly a Divinely Orchestrated (Chance) Meeting.
