What shall I do for the day............



           Good wonderful morning, the sky is in a state of clouds looking as if it would like to rain..The air feels warm but cool...Wondering what shall I do today... What will you be doing for this day ??? 



Perhaps, tea in the Garden, but then it might shower on me............
Or maybe a walk I should take put on my hat and gloves and stroll down the street window shopping.........

   
Or maybe I should just stay in a read a book....


 Make a wonderful tray for Tea and feel all cozy..curl up on the couch and put a movie in............


 I could just sit and day dream a bit of pretty things...


Whatever it is that you or I end up doing today, I wish you a most wonderful day...I'm off to home to see what's there for me...be back soon.................

Checking your list.......



Good evening everyone...........I just thought that I would share a little bit of Church today........I'am working towards the Goal of becoming a Jehovah's Witness..I was raised a Jehovah's Witness.. but went away from it when I was about 13 years of age for many different reasons...I later in life made several attempts to go back which were not totally successful..I feel the last few years I have been trying harder to achieve that goal..And that it has also been a process of healing for me. Before I got sick with Panic disorder I was attending the meetings which they are called. Mostly Sunday........I had a sister who even took me after I got sick..which I appreciated her patience very much... After I moved I couldn't seem to get the nerve to go alone..Vee went a couple times with me.. So I started praying for strength and calmness to find my way It has taking me a very long time to get there. But finally I have succeeded.. Well today for the Second time I was able to walk myself to Church (The Kingdom Hall).. They have a Talk then they study the Watchtower.. Which I find to be very interesting. There is so much going on in the World today.It all helps you put it all in it's place of the system of things coming to an end.. Most are off into another world not caring about a thing... Most haven't any moral or standards these days..Our talk was about that .. Keeping Clean from Worldly Desires was the topic.
                    They talked about staying with the new personallity, ( when you go hand in hand with God, Jehovah you wash yourself clean and put on a new personallity.)  Morally, Spiritually, Mentally and Physically. .

Spiritually we never want to cross the line between True and False worship.
 2 Corn. 16, and 17, And what agreement does God's temple have with Idols???  For we are a temple of a living God: just as God said, I shall reside among them and walk among them and I shall be their God.

Mentally You don't want to have unclean thoughts.. So reading the Bible going to Church association with your brothers and sister will help keep you on the right track.....Unholy speech...

Morally clean, Learning to Love Jehovah Eph. 4...
Violations of Jehovah, our Fahions, Televison, we wouldn't want to violate God's laws or dress unclean, or watch sexual movies etc...

Physically Holy, Body cleaness, our surroundings our Homes  Don't indulge in uncleaness. Keep remaining clean in God's eyes Re-checking yourselves daily.
Family study is very important as well.
Power Of Prayer, Is a very strong thing, Jehovah's Holy Spirit, Pray for it yield to the Holy Spirit. Don't wait for after to pray for help Pray before you do the wrong thing. Asking for his help for you not to do the wrong things. Do all that you can do to keep yourself Clean in God's eyes...


The Watchtower, was very interesting, It was about when you get baptized do you just fall off with learning and building a further relationship with God..you must continue to learn and apply all that you are learning you much teach and help others as well.. re-checking yourselfs again. It said that failure to check regular can lead to ruin.
well this is some of what I learned today at Church.. I found it very interesting  the Watchtower is a study guide connecting to the Bible It is a tool to learning and understanding of the Bible.. I so enjoyed my day once again being with God and my Spiritual Family...
Thank you once again my heavenly Father for taking my hand and walking with me.. always in the name of your son Jesus Christ.. Amen
Have a very blessed evening .. with Love Janice

American Beauty.........Pink


How about these American Beauties...
They just arrived this morning I found them the other day On Ebay..Really I know I should stay away from there lol but my boredom brings me there.. He he aways I'm glad I found these and at a good price and I also got another cup..
That way if I have company we can both have the same American Beauty Tea cup....



I would love to someday purchase the Tea Pot as well and maybe some luncheon plates
 I also found this Beauty..

It was suppose to be for a double bed...but I think she stretched it a little bit..but really I don't mind I love it just the same..though I wished it was a tad larger..but I will just keep in on top of My Bed anyhow..
It's now drying in the dryer..
It's Shabby Chic...
Maybe later I will find a larger one.. I hope at least..
 

(My Photo) 

I have changed my Bed Room again...I found this Hydrangea Duvet cover Set at the Goodwill for only $ 13.99 there was only a button missing on the holder for it..   I have had it for about almost a year..but finally am putting it on my bed..

 

(There photo)
 
I really love it..
 Ready for a fluffy comfy bed with a cuppa and Romantic Homes Magazine...Maybe some Day Dreams... 
 
Wishing you all a lovely evening... ending in Sweet dreams..

A Beautiful Morning...




  
     I really love this photo, (it's not mine) It just warms your heart....It's a beautiful morning here in San Francisco..Just what the doctor ordered.  I'm just sitting here at Mom's waiting for a new battery for the car it died out on me yesterday.. I can't wait to go home to go out in the Garden.. It's a mess again with leaves all over the place. I swear I want to cut those trees down......lol them leaves just drive me up the wall...sometimes I want to really cry when I go outside...So this morning I been surfing for some things and ran across this recipe.  I thought maybe you would enjoy it..I'm going to write it down as well. We ran out of ink...so it's back to that good ole paper and ink.. Which personally I don't mind doing..        


         

                            

Mixed Berry Pound Cake
Author: 

Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 

Serves: 20-24 small slices


A rich, buttery pound cake with juicy berries and cinnamon streusel.

Ingredients
For the Pound Cake:
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
  • 4 cups berries (I used cranberries and blueberries) + 2 tablespoons flour
For the Cinnamon Streusel:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together your flour, baking powder, and salt, and set aside. In your mixing bowl, beat together your sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add in your eggs, one at a time, followed by your extract, then your sour cream, then your milk, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  2. Gradually add in your flour mixture until just moistened. Toss your berries in 2 tablespoons of flour so that they don’t fall in your cake, then fold ⅔ of them into your batter. Place half of your batter into a well buttered/greased 10-inch bundt or spring-form pan, then sprinkle with your streusel (recipe follows), followed by your remaining berries, and finally, spread the rest of your batter on top of the berries (the batter will be thick; it doesn’t have to be perfect! It’s best to just use your hands and don’t worry about it too much).
  3. Bake for 1 hour or so, until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is set and golden. Allow the cake to cool for 2 hours or so (you can speed this up in the fridge, if you like), then invert the pan, tap it slightly, and allow the cake to come out. Slice and serve! This will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature (or in the fridge) for up to 5 days.
  4. Whisk together your flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using your hands (this works so much better than a tool, I promise), cut the butter into your sugar until it forms pea-sized crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to use. You may not need all of the streusel for the cake; in which case, the crumbs make excellent toppings for French toast, pancakes, or other baked goods!
       Let me know if you try it and like it and I will do the same...
                   Happy Tuesday..........with love Janice.............
