A Song for Palm Sunday

"Fryed" Ice Cream and The Faire

How do you take a high calorie dessert and make it more deliciously, bad for you? Fry it. This Saturday was the opening day of Scarborough Faire, and I attended (in shorts in a t-shirt, no surprise, I'm not into 'acting,' but I've always enjoyed watching other's role play). I go for the fryed ice cream (I can't explain the spelling). My favorite 'outfit' this year was actually a tshirt a little toddler had on that said 'Dragon Bait.' I like that humor. It was a really pretty day to walk around the grounds, watch shows, and people watch. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the food and the activities were reasonably priced.

Prayer Request Update

Thanks for those who are praying for Nycki. She is still on life support in the ICU. Everyone was glad that things have at least been stable over the last few days, but today her white blood cell counts were high, which is a sign the infection was getting worse. The hospital has adjusted some medicine. In the medical world, none of this is good news. I still believe God is in the miracle business, and I know that despite any medic's statistics, if God wills it, she can get better. Please continue to pray for strength for all that love, and care for Nycki, and for her recovery. I pray to see those prayers at work in Nycki's life, and I already see them at work in the live's of those around her finding strength where the world would have none, but God has provided.

Vocal Majority

Tonight my friend Mary took Sonia and I to see the Vocal Majority-a barbershop singing group. There are about 125 men who take part in the chorus, and they are pretty impressive! Singing talent is not something I possess, so I'm always in awe of peopole who can make things beautiful with a song! Their show this year was Broadway Music.

Baby Blythe's Song

I have to share my favorite find of the day. My cousin, Jimmy wrote a song for his little girl, Blythe Anne (due in just a few short weeks!). Check it out, the link is on Jimmy, and Lydia's blog, and it's the second song. Both songs are great, I always love a Jimmy original. She's a lucky little girl to have Dad out here writing down his love, and searching out God's will for him as a dad-in-waiting.

Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens....

I saw these Easter Pops here: http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring-chickens.html
I had some cake balls left over from my last batch, and some yellow chocolate for an upcoming shower (guess I'll be going back to the store for a little more).
My chicks are not as smooth as the examples, and I used the hard shell candy kisses, and two brown sprinkles for eyes instead of the other supplies in the directions, but they are still pretty cute little Chicken Cake Pops....and yummy, per usual.
