Happy Birthday, Dad!

Dad's birthday was yesterday. He got all of these great E-postcards from us. Thought we'd share them all in one bundle for easier viewing (and forwarding, OK, Dad! Go for it!!).

By the way, my Dad loves to make scones. That's important information to know...trust me.

Roll 'em!!

Love ya!






















(This is a park in my hometown where my sisters and I played softball--Go Leo!)





Can't forget dessert! 71-derful flavors!!

Dad had the best topper of the night, though:


"You must be exhausted from leaving no scone unturned !!!"


(Still always manages to get in the last word.)

Thanks for stopping by! (I'm so excited to have all these new blog friends!)

I attended MOPS when I lived in the states, and looked into finding a chapter here in Spain (because I LOVED, LOVED my MOPS group) but alas there are none.

Our Salvation Army church does host a "Mums and Tots" play group for British expatriates in our area. So, I do get contact (thankfully) with other mothers in my area.

Obviously, he was born in the Scone Age.

As a lover of all things tea-related I can appreciate such humor. Way funny!

P.S. Would "Dad" care to share any of his scone recipes on your blog?

Actually, all--and especially Bonita--we bought Dad several varieties of scone mix from the King Arthur Flour people, which is his favorite source for mix.

But, Dad being Dad, he likes to throw in his own "adds," chocolate or white chips, Craisins, etc. Sometimes things bake up OK and sometimes Dad says they aren't so good. He has the fancy scone pan, too, which is a plus!

We actually did have quite a few "Scones" we could have mentioned: Oliver Scone, Sharon Scone, former pole vaulter Dwight Scones, former Cubs broadcaster/player Steve Scone, Sconey Island and the Smithsconian, among many others....but there was only so much time.

Speaking of which, time for a new blog, perhaps later today.

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea...

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
