Have you thought about how spoiled we are? Electricity, HVAC, running water, grocery stores, cell phones ... it’s good to be reminded of that once in a while.

Like this evening we spent at @livinghistoryfarms for one of their dinners in the 1900 Farmhouse. Horse-drawn wagon ride to the farm, hot cider in the parlor, dinner by oil lamp (it’s hard to take pictures but it is a relaxing way to enjoy a meal), a walk around the farm to check on the animals, and dessert offerings of pie and/or cake.

🙏 Thank you, Carolyn & Randy (@cj4cyclones) for asking us to join your table!

It’s happened ... I have found THE BEST Twist doughnut. Not exaggerating ... not paid or compensated for this statement. Bigger than my hand ... pillowy soft, lightly glazed & perfectly sweet!

Keep doing what you’re doing, @bricktowndonuts! You are a small town gem!

✝️Why is it called GOOD Friday? ✝️ What Je

✝️Why is it called GOOD Friday?
✝️ What Jesus endured and suffered that day was for our GOOD, our benefit, our salvation. But I have one more explanation for you to consider ...
✝️ Years ago, our church (Immanuel Lutheran Church, Waukee) had a fundraiser. The items included personalized coffee cups. Our pastor had recently given a sermon about creation. The word God uses to describe the work of His own hand is the word GOOD. Not “great”. Not “perfect”. GOOD.
✝️ Pastor Joseph explained that the meaning or translation of the word GOOD is “as it should be” or
“as intended”. That really stuck with me. So much so, I had “Good Day” printed on my coffee cup at that fundraiser to remind myself that a GOOD day is a day that goes as God intends.
✝️ This may not be a happy day we observe. It may not be a proud day in human history. But it is a GOOD day because it happened as God intended and because He loves us so very much. And the best is yet to come! ☀️

Does this look like leftovers to you?

Pulled the leftover (and one pan wonder) Mediterranean Chicken (with artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes) out of the fridge ... reheated low and slow, adding leftover tortellini for a couple minutes at the end with a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten it back up ... fresh basil and Parmesan and YUM!

Recipe for the Mediterranean Chicken is on the blog.

☺️ You’re welcome!
