I made those pillow soft rolls and they were absolutely delicious. I didn't boil the water the second time (because the first time my water and shortening exploded in my kitchen!!). The dough was sticky so I added more flour. During the night though, I thought about just putting on one cup of water and let it boil for 5 mins to see what happens. The next day, I boiled just water for 5 mins and out of 1 cup I was left with 2/3 cup. So, the next time I will just reduce the hot water to 2/3 cup and the shortening to 1/3. I just threw it all into the bread maker to allow it to mix it for me until it looked well mix and then followed the receipe for putting in the fridge. THANK YOU for post the receipe. My family loved them and are looking forward to eating some more again. They didn't leave many out of the 48 that I made. Just wanted to let you know the result. There is no need to boil the water - just reduce the water.

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
