One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."

Gina's Chicken and Biscuits
Cut up about 3-4 Chicken Breasts (skinless)
1 can cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup (lower sodium)
Mix some chicken broth to soup and beat until smooth
1 package (8) grand biscuits
May add an additional small can of mushrooms
Put chicken in a greased baking pan (9x13). Pour soup mixture over chicken, bake covered for one hour at 350. When chicken is done, set oven to 357, place biscuits on top, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top and bake for 15 more minutes.
Note: My family hates mushrooms, so I leave that part out. They also don't like parmesan cheese, so I don't add that, either.

The Poopie List ---so old!
THE POOPIE LIST
Bathroom Humor at its finest:
Ghost Poopie
The kind where you feel the poopie come out, but there is no poopie in the toilet.
Clean Poopie
The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper.
Wet Poopie
The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and it still feels unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and underwear so you won't ruin them with a stain.
Second Wave Poopie
This happens when you're done Poopie-ing and you've pulled up your pants to your knees, and you realize that you have to Poopie some more.
Pop-A-Vein-In-Your-Forehead-Poopie
The kind where you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke.
Gassy Poopie
It's so noisy, everyone within earshot is laughing.
Drinker Poopie
The kind of Poopie you have the morning after a long night of drinking. Its most noticeable trait is the skid marks on the bottom of the toilet.
Lincoln Log Poopie
The kind of Poopie that is so huge you're afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the toilet brush.
Corn Poopie
Self-explanatory.
Gee-I-Wish-I-Could-Poopie Poopie
The kind where you want to Poopie but all you do is sit on the toilet and fart a few times.
Spinal Tap Poopie
That's where it hurts so badly coming out, you would swear it was leaving you sideways.
Wet Cheeks Poopie (The Power Dump)
The kind that comes out of your butt so fast, your butt gets splashed with water.
Liquid Poopie
The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out your butt and splashes all over the toilet bowl.
Mexican Poopie
It smells so bad your nose burns.
The Surprise Poopie
You're not even at the toilet because you are sure you're about to fart, but oops.......a Poopie!!!
The Dangling Poopie
This Poopie refuses to drop into the toilet even though you know you are done Poopie-ing it. You just pray that a shake or two will cut it loose.

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
(Written by a former child)
A message every adult should read, because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, and I
immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a
stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my
favorite cake for me and I learned that the little
things can be the special things in life.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a
prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always
talk to and I learned to trust in God.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help
take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of
your time and money to help people who had nothing
and I learned that those who have something should
give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take
care of our house and everyone in it and I learned
we have to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't
feel good and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come
from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you
cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of
life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and
productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you
and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw
when you thought I wasn't looking."
I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO DO
SO MUCH FOR OTHERS, JUST REMEMBER THAT
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT.
Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle,
teacher or friend) influence the life of a child.
How will you touch the life of someone today?

Bill Gates' Speech
Bill Gates' Speech
TO: MT. WHITNEY HIGH SCHOOL in Visalia,CA.
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!
To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice. Bill Gates recently gave
a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in
school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created
a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set
them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect
you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't
be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had
a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about
your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are
now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and
listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you
save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS
NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you
as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and
very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do this on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to
leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Pink Lady Punch
Pink Lady Punch
1 no 2 can pineapple juice (2.5 cups) chilled
1 32 oz cranberry juice, chilled
1 28 oz gingerale, chilled
1 pt pineapple sherbert
Combine chilled liquids. Float balls of sherbert in punch. I use this without the sherbert also. It helps if you freeze part of the juices the night before and float a "ring: of ice in the punch to keep cold so it doesn't dilute down.
See you tonight!

Creme Brulee- LC
Butter-Pecan Creme Brulee2 cups cream4 egg yolks1/2 teaspoon vanillaDash of salt2 tablespoons SplendaHeat cream over medium heat, just until bubbles start to form. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, vanilla, salt and Splenda. Gradually whisk in cream.Strain mixture.Divide into four custard cups. Bake in a water bath for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Custards should be set, but still jiggly. Chill for one hour. Make butter-pecan topping and divide between between cups.Refrigerate for four more hours or overnight.Butter-Pecan Topping:1 tablespoon butter1/8 cup pecans - finely chopped1 teaspoon SplendaMelt butter. Stir in pecans and Splenda. Heat just until nuts begin to color, being careful not to burn!For those who have not tried this...you NEED to! This has been a staple dessert of mine for years. It is one of those desserts, like BG's Cheesecakes, that even your non LCing friends/family will devour! I've been adding a couple of Tablespoons of SF Davinci flavored syrups to the recipe to "change" the taste a bit. I've made it with the Butter Rum, Irish Cream, Carmel, Kauli Caffee, and English Toffee....all of them produce YUMMY results!

Myrna's Chicken Strips
Myrna’s Chicken Strips (Fingers)
Cut chicken breasts into about 2 inch strips or use purchased chicken strips. You don’t want them too wide.
Sprinkle with powdered or fresh garlic, dried onion,( thyme, marjoram – just a few sprinkles) , salt, freshly ground pepper. Mix. Cover with buttermilk and let marinate for a few hours----not over 4 or they get too mushy.
Mix enough flour that you think you will need for the amount on chicken you have with about 2 TBS. Cornstarch, garlic powder and dried onion to your taste. Salt, Pepper. Paprika (optional).
When ready to fry, heat oil (she used peanut oil but said vegetable oil is o.k.) Peanut oil can fry at higher temperatures.
She uses her electric skillet for even heat. Oil is ready when you dip the end of a wooden spoon in oil and see bubbles rise.
Stir chicken and drain. Dredge well in flour mix and begin frying . Add rather slowly so the oil does not cool off too much as you add the chicken. Do not let any of the pieces touch each other and do not move them around until time to turn over. It takes about 3 or 4 minutes or until it looks browned around the edges to turn. Cook on other side until it is nicely browned
Cut a paper grocery bag and use the inside of it to drain the chicken. DO NOT use paper towels or they will get soggy. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Enjoy!!!!

ARIZONA MOUNTAIN SOUP
3 cups cooked pinto beans
1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
1 large tomato, skinned and diced (or use a small can of diced tomatoes)
1 cup chopped bacon
3 small onions, finely chopped (probably about 1/2 to 1 cup
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbs. salt (omit if beans are salted) , or to taste
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 cups water )approximately-----read cooking directions)
Cook the bacon (better in microwave on paper towels to absorb )some of the fat, but you can fry it in a skillet and drain well.) Cook the onion and garlic in the microwave with a little water for moisture. Put the beans, tomato and rest of the ingredients in a large pot with 2 of the cups of water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Add additional water, 1/2 cup at a time during cooking, the amount depending on desired consistency. Yield: 6 cups soup.
(The original recipe calls for the bacon drippings to be added but I never did this because of the fat)
