Caramel Corn Treat

Right now, my husband and I are enjoying some of this delicious caramel popcorn recipe. I did not add nuts, nor did it make it in to the oven. I was thinking it would be good to add some m&ms instead of nuts or whatever you like. 

Caramel Corn

2 ¼ c. brown sugar

2 cubes butter

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 c. karo syrup

1 dash salt

Bring to a boil. (Don’t boil over 5 min.) Add nuts. Coat 1 c. uncooked popcorn with syrup. Bake in oven for 1 hr. stir every 15 minutes with oven at 250 °.

Enjoy:)

An old tape from my childhood...

So I am remembering this tape that I used to listen to as a child. I used to listen to them as I would go to sleep. There is one that I loved, but the only part I really remember goes,  "I want what I want, and I want it now!" Which reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory. I could be remembering something similar, but it was not like the movie at all. I can even hear the tune to that little part in my head. It may have had the candy man song on it too. As far as I remember the tape got ruined. Now all I have left is that little memory of that one line, playing over and over in my head. I wish I could find out what it was.

Here is a link to my Typography blog!

“My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.”

Walter Matthau  Is it not a scary thing that we put our lives in to the hands of these... "practiced" beings? Yet, we risk our lives, in order to save our lives. The advance of medical technology and methods has greatly benefited our society. More people are living. But, more people are dying. Which, is only obvious considering the expansion of our population as inhabitants of this Earth. What a curious concept, the desperate fling of life into someone else's hands in order to perhaps... get it back in better shape. Not knowing how long or how much it will take to penetrate the mortal delicacy. Or the amount needed to persuade the officiator to precisely identify a solution. Whether or not this daunts, it sure does nothing to keep the average citizen from seeking the "professional's" opinion. So. Give your life. Maybe get it back. Then again, save your own life.

“Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.”-Richard Bach

There is definitely. No.Such.Thing. As. Luck. The word luck suggests that an occurance is lacking in meaning. It can be defined as the state of your life's conditions, your circumstances, or anything that happens to you in general.   As to when you say "Good luck!" First of all, if you are saying that to anyone it is probably because you think they need it. Obviously you are not certain that they can accomplish whatever it is they are needing luck for. Otherwise it would be unnecessary. That brings out the idea that their situation is beyond their control, or a lack of their preparation. So you are superficially telling them that you hope that by a random chance they get more than they deserve. Ha. How quaint. Well you say, if we do not deserve things that come by "chance" why do we get more than we deserve? Only by the grace and mercy of Father in heaven who loves us and blesses us according to his just ways. Naw, luck is not for me. I prefer the "work hard and do my best, and reap what I sow" concept. I just can not believe that any coincidence has no meaning. Because there is a PLAN. Established by our loving Heavenly Father who knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows what is best for us, who will best benefit our lives,  how best we can grow to become the great beings we have the potential to be. His plan is so perfect, and even though I may not understand everything I know that He does. I do not need luck. I have God on my side. 

~A Little Girl/ Daughters~

"A little girl can be sweeter ( and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot. "- Alan Marshall Beck

Is not that sweet? It made me smile :] There is something precious about little girls. We were in 1318 Wednesday, and I was looking at the adorable little girl shoes. They are just so precious! So then I was thinking, inside all of us women there is a little girl. We all have been given a divine nature and are on our way to Motherhood. I am so grateful for my mother and everything she has done for me. My mother has been so good to me. Someday, I want to grow up to be just like her. I hope someday I can express to her my love and how happy I am that she is my mother.  I hope that when the day comes that I have my own little girl, I can be a great mother in tribute to my own, beautiful, wonderful, mother dear. I love you Mom. <3

We watched this really interesting video today.  It is amazing to realize that everyone has a life of their own, their own struggles, their own triumphs. If only we could all realize that, I think we would treat others differently. Though we may not be able to change someone's life, there is always something we can do. We can see the world around us and everyone in it through open eyes. We may never understand exactly what they are going through, but there is someone who does. So let's leave the judging up to Him.
