:P

I got it! I passed the test with only one wrong! I would have been embarrassed beyond mortification if I hadn't passed again. But now I've got the permit for a short while, and then the driving test which should be comparatively easy. Mom's not going to get in that driver's seat again for awhile!

Happy Day!

Channels Only

How I praise thee precious Saviour, that thy love laid hold of me;

Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me That I might Thy channel be.

Channels only blesses Master, but with all thy wonderous power flowing thro' us,

Thou canst use us every day and every hour.

A new hair-do

Not me, my mutt! Eloise was looong over-do for a hair cut, and I finally bit the bullet and brought her in to be scalped. I have had her cut several times, and I always dislike how she turns out. But this time, I actually really like it!

Before....

After....

That's my mutt!

BTW, When I took the driver's test for the first time last week one of the questions was, 'What do you do if a school bus is stopped with it's red lights flashing and children are present.

It's a multi-choice test, and one of the answers you could pick was Speed up. !

If you pick that answer they probably instantly flunk you and put a warning or red flag with cross bones on your record and your licence. If you're lucky enough to get one after that.

Crazy stuff. But then, it is a goverment program. What else do you expect? :P

Mark Twain says...

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not. ~M.T.


Unfortunately very true! :)

Sorry I havn't been blogging lately, I've been busy reading the driver's book, and then proceeding to flunk my first driver's test by one question, and studing to take it again later this week! (bleh.)

Hope you're all havin' a blessed Lord's day!

Concerning Cabbage

So I've always wondered, 'what can do you do with cabbage other than coleslaw, and have it turn out something that looks and smells edible?'

A valid question right? Well when some friends of ours had us over for dinner their daughter had cooked this delicious, I mean, really, really delicious braised cabbage. I found a link to the recipe on her blog, and tonight, finally tried it out.

And it's easy! Chop up carrots, onions, add seasonings, oil, chicken stock and some balsamic vinegar. Then pair with a family favorite, in our case chicken stroganoff...

Results? A nutritious and yummy dinner.
