February 10, 2005

Good afternoon everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have

joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.

 

I hope you are having a wonderful week.  Sorry I have not been publishing lately. 

We have been swamped between the runny noses, tummy aches and running here

and there trying to get things done.  The kids seem on the mend.  They still have a

stuffy nose but nobody has complained of a tummy ache today.  What a relief! 

Other that that we have just been extremely busy with life.  Amazing how that

happens when you least expect it.  One day you feel like you have done nothing

and the next, Wow!  And speaking of busy, I better get going.  It is almost time

to start supper so I can get Samantha to Brownies tonight.

 

Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days!

*Prayer Request*

 

Hi, Just wanted to stop by and ask you to please pray for a friend of mine.

I just learned that the fiancée of my friend, Allison Bunton, was shot while

on duty at the elections in Iraq. He was shot by sniper fire and got shot in

the leg, has had surgery and is in the hospital over there. We are not sure

just when he may be able to get home, but Please, Please offer your prayers

up for his safety. We were all terribly upset to hear this news, he was due to

be coming home in just over a month. He and Allison were planning to be

married and start their life together. That will still happen, but its joy has been

over shadowed by this tragedy. Thank you for your prayers....KT

 

KT, all of us at Recipe-Lovers will be praying for Allison Bunton.  May God

bless him and watch over him as he continues to heal.  May God be with the

family and friends and they watch over Allision.  We pray for all of our heroes

protecting our great country.  May God give them the strength the need to see

us through this time.  May he comfort their families and bring all of our hero’s

home safe from harm.  May God bless you all.

 

Do you have a prayer request or a special day you would like to announce?

If so please forward it on to me at Prayer Request

February 28, 2005

Good morning everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have

joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.

 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We had some pretty nice weather here. 

It was a nice weekend for the kids.  Spencer won an award at school that is only

given out to 1 child in the school.  So we told him we would let him have “his” day

and he could pick a place to eat out.  So Saturday morning he woke up and wanted

to go to IHop because Samantha had a free meal for her birthday.  Not because he

wanted a smiley face pancake.  Ok.  I believe it.  Not!  So off we went for smiley

pancakes.  He wanted to go to the mall and then to the pet store.  A few weeks ago

one of our Guppies had 12 babies and he wants more fish!  So what did we do….it

was “Spencers Day” we bought more fish!  And too boot…all the females are pregnant! 

I do believe we will be moving into two tanks very soon.  Saturday evening we were off

to eat Chinese.  Spencer was in the mood for crawfish and shrimp.  We may have over

did his day a tad but you know….we sure had a good time!  Tonight we are off to a

musical my daughter is in.  This will be a great treat for us.  I am really excited about

seeing her in the show.  I am sure I will have to load my pockets with tissues.  For some

reason when you see them on stage you tend to get watery eyes.  I haven’t exactly figured

a cure for that yet.  I have to run.  I hope you enjoy the recipes!

 

Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days!
