Here are a couple of little tid bits for you to enjoy!
Here is a sweeeet treat to make!Caramel~Covered Corn Chex
1c. Butter 1 large box Corn Chex
1 c. brown sugar 1 large jar dry roasted 1 c. corn syrup peanuts
In a medium pan, melt together the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and let boil for 1 ½ minutes. Take two large brown bags, one inside the other. Place corn chex and peanuts in the inner bag. Pour the syrup mixture over the cereal and peanuts and fold the bag shut. Shake. Microwave for 1 minute; shake. Repeat this process two more times. Place mixture in a bowl and break apart into chunks.
Here is a gift idea for the little ones!
When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink. I was not so pleased. I turned to my mom and said, “I’m surprised at you. Don’t you remember how we used do drive you crazy with water guns?” Mom smiled and then replied, “ I remember.”
Not a sign of Baby Jesus
T’was the Night Before Christmas and all through the town not a Sign of Baby Jesus was anywhere to be found. The people were all busy with Christmas time chores like decorating, and baking, and shopping in stores.
No one sang “Away in a manger, no crib for a bed”. Instead, they sang of Santa dressed up in bright red. Mama watched Martha Stewart, Papa drank beer from a tap as hour upon hour the presents they’d wrap.
When what from the TV did they suddenly hear? But an ad… which told of a big sale at Sears. So away to the mall they all flew like a flash buying things on credit and others with cash! And, as they made their way home from their trip to the mall, Did they think about Jesus? Oh, no… not at all. Their lives were so busy with their Christmas time things no time to remember Christ Jesus, the King. There were presents to wrap and cookies to bake. How could they stop and remember who died for their sake? To pray to the Savior they had no time to stop. Because they needed more time to “shop till they dropped!”
On Wal-mart! On K-mart! On Target! On Penny’s! On Hallmark! On Zales! A quick lunch at Denny’s. From the big stores downtown to the stores at the mall they would dash away, dash away, and visit them all!
And up on the roof, there arose such a clatter as grandpa hung icicle lights up on his new ladder. He hung lights what would flash. He hung lights that would twirl. Yet, he never once prayed to Jesus… Light of the World. Christ’s eyes… how they twinkle! Christ’s Spirit… how merry! Christ’s love…. How enormous! All our burdens …. He’ll carry! So instead of being busy, overworked and uptight, Let’s put Christ in Christmas and enjoy some good nights!

~I believe in adding a personal touch to quality Customer Service~
On a more personal note on ME~
Today Mike and I went to our Community Center to volunteer our time to help make food packets for "KIDS Against Hunger"
I must say this was really FUN! It touched my heart and it made me really appreciate that I never grew up hungry and that my children have food on the table every day. It also breaks my heart to know that there are so many children that go days without food.
After speaking to many of the children that were also there helping they all had so much fun! They said that this is their Valentines gift to all of those kids! They are all looking forward to doing this again.
Mike has some pictures posted on his blog of what went on there today. So just click here and go see how Kids helping Kids can help to make a difference. For more information and if you would like to make a donation just click here
Just wondering if any of you got the chance to read the Albert Lea Tribune on Thursday February 10th? Well the Tribune had asked for people to send in stories on how you met your significant other for a Valentines publication. I really did not think that my story would be printed but I was having fun writing it! I had actually forgotten all about it until my oldest daughter Rani, told me she was reading it! So in case you missed it here it is.
White sneakers, blue eyes, black jeans, butterflies and a special kiss
Do you remember the song, "It's in his Kiss" by Cher? Well, that is the song that came on the radio when my date asked me, "Would it be ok to give you a kiss?" I knew right then that Mike was "The One." And that song stood true.
I had never been on the computer for Internet dating, and I really never even knew what it was all about until an ad popped up on the computer for Cupid.com. I was actually looking for old classmates so I clicked on it to go check it out.
I had seen a lot of people on the site and only one person caught my eye. He had the bluest, dancing eyes with a smile that was so sincere! I read his profile, and he was a two-time organ donator. I knew this person was a very caring person so I sent him an e-mail.
After about three weeks, we finally got to talk to each other and about two weeks later we met. I was still a little leery because you hear a lot of stories about things that go on from the Interned. My friends and family knew of our plan to meet in a different town, in broad daylight with lots of people around me! I had to still be cautious.
Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach, and I felt like I was in high school all over again! There were a lot of what-ifs running through my head while I drove a half an hour to meet this new person. I wondered would he even like me because he never did get to see a picture of me. He was going by the description that I gave to him.
There he was smiling ear to ear! He took off those sunglasses, and I saw those baby blues. his bright, white tennis shoes stood out like a sore thumb against his black jeans. Next my eyes noticed a black, tucked-in T-shirt with some design on the front, and he wore a black leather jacket. In my head, all I could think about was Johnny Cash.
Those butterflies were still fluttering, and I was so nervous with excitement. Here I was almost 36 years old, and I felt like I was 16 all over again! We went into the restaurant for coffee and conversation. I was laughing inside but was smiling on the outside because I kept wondering how this guy could drink coffee and chew gum at the same time.
We decided to go see a movie, got a bite to eat, and we parted with a kiss while the song on the radio from Cher cam on. Oh, yes, it was in his kiss!
Now with tears in my eyes as I write this and over seven years of married memories with two beautiful girls together, he also gained a step-daughter, and we have three sweet grandchildren, here we are today.
Mike and I still joke around how we met and about those bright, white tennis shoes that he wore. And the gum, well, he hated the taste of coffee, but he knew I loved coffee so he wanted to impress me. To this day, he still has not taken a sip of coffee, but I love him more than words can say.
~Tamera Marti
The Albert Lea Tribune only changed the Title. Mine was It's in His Kiss
I wish each and everyone of YOU a
Very loving Happy Valentine's Day
while creating the sweetest of memories to scrap a keepsake.
