How Wonderful it is to Receive a Letter

Okay, this picture idea is fun! Handwritten letters, a thing of the past or an art of the present? I really enjoy receiving notes and letters that are handwritten. I personally love to handwrite letters and notes.

Recipes for Children

Check out what's cooking from Kraft Canada, they have some cool recipes for children of all ages to make. Punkie-G has inspired me to check out new ideas for children, something I have not done in awhile. Children bring out the creativity and excitement in me to explore new ideas. My teenagers love these fast easy recipes too.

I have enjoyed the what's cooking magazine for years, (it used to come in the news paper), now I can read it online. If you like this magazine, Kraft will send you a free copy.

Monday Morning Walking Class

On Monday mornings a friend of mine, teaches a walking and body sculptering class. I have been going for a month, everytime I go she teaches something new. I love it, learning that is, exercise well, I am trying. During the class a thought came, "When we continue with out giving up, moving on to a new level is such a wonderful reward, and being challanged is good for the soul. The trick is not to give up but keep going and trying."

I encourage anyone who is trying something new or growing tried of what you are doing to keep going and don't give up.

A Basket of Potpourri

Well, one blog just was not enough! The community is growing. Please excuse the misspelling of potpourri in the blog url.

Potpourri for thought will be home for all my creative thoughts: books that have past the test, projects that have found themselves finished, interesting recipe's from near and far. Showing our creative side is another way to build community.

Spring has come to the Prairies. Warm sunshine is melting all the snow and drawing everyone outside. Grocery stores have fresh watermelon and other spring produce to delight the taste buds . The newness of spring's warmth lead me to indulge, my new purchase for the season was a bright pink box purse, this really is showing my wild side! My husband has just noticed two robins out in the spring rain, it won't be May this year before we have their presence. I love to watch the robin's busy at their work.

Sloboda Quote for the Day: "What miserable duck weather outside."
My preference is to think that God is washing the dirty landscape.

NOTE: To my children, family, and friends,
I really have created these blogs to share parts of my life with you even when you are far away.
