And so it begins

We're almost done

WAH - LA !  Banana Pancakes with a touch of whip cream
I DID IT!  HURRAY
HUBBY WAS HAPPY TOO!  :)

HAVE A BLESSED HAPPY SUNDAY!  MAY THE LORD SHINE DOWN UPON YOU AND YOURS!

HAPPY NEW YEAR --- 2014!

HAPPY 2014 NEW YEAR!

We usually stay home and bring the New Year in together, and as usual we had a fun time and watched Ryan Seacrest and the dropping of the ball in New York & then after that the nightclubs in Chicago until our own New Year arrived, and naturally our "Baby" had to get into the act!  Gotta love her.

While all that was happening this was happening outside...  

May all my wonderful  Blog/Cyber Friends have a very Healthy, Happy & Prosperous New Year & I hope that it's not just with us, but for everyone all over the world and give us Peace and Joy for everyone!

Having a bad day!

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. - Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

I borrowed this one from a friend that had it on his blog.  Thanks Mike.  It sure came in handy today!  HUGS

Just now I found out some fantastic news, and let me tell you what comes around goes around and that's the truth.  All I want to say now is praise God, and I must go thank the Lord for answering my prayers since 1997.  Thank you Lord up above.  I know you are busy, but You never forget us.  Praise God, and I know You are not done yet, but maybe I have to pray harder for this.  It's just for two more people, and one in particular.  Save him dear Lord.  Save him, and  make him whole once again, and the man he should be.  Save her, and let her be the little girl she should be, and learn the right things instead of the wrong right where she's at.  She has a good mother figure now, and is with the family she should've been in the first place.  Thank you Lord, and please help them when you have the time, and all involved.  Praise God.

Saving Mr. Banks – “Tom Hanks” Featurette

DISNEY’S “SAVING MR. BANKS” BOOK GIVES FANS

A SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK

AT THE MAKING OF THE TIMELESS CLASSIC “MARY POPPINS”!
Mary Poppins has been a part of my life when I was little, and then my children's lives when they were little, and now my grandchildren's lives.  The lessons it teaches, the most wonderful classic songs sang that the whole world sings now, but most of all Mr. Hanks!  God bless that man for capturing the most blessed, wonderful, unselfish person in the world Mr. Walt Disney himself.  As they say walk in my shoes?  Mr. Tom Hanks did!  He walked in Mr. Walt Disney's shoes!  He was Walt Disney on film.  You can see it in his tired eyes or when his eyes smiled those were Disney eyes, Mr. Disney's smile.  For those moments Mr. Hanks was Mr. Disney.  God bless that man.
This movie will give you chills!  It will give you joy!  It will give you tears, but most of all it will give you the happiness of reliving when Mary Poppins came to be!

My favorite part is when Emma Thompson started to dance, and when she cried seeing the movie for tears were on my face.  It was the greatest film I've seen in such a long time.  Go see this movie and put yourself into it and pay attention don't miss a single thing.  Believe me it won't be what you expected.  You will walk out of that theater smiling with tears!  ENJOY!

College books rentals, and a new program Rentback Review!

Okay, around here we have a great college called "Waubonsee College".  I know at the high cost of college tuition everyone is looking to cut corners.  Well, I have a friend that has given me some information I'd like to share with you, and that's Campus Book Rentals.

To all you college-goers out there here's some info & the perks of renting textbooks.

• save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
• free shipping both ways
• can highlight in the textbooks
• flexible renting periods
• we donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented; and
• and you can find more at their above website too!

They’ve also set aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships to be distributed to students in communities just like yours. That’s a lot of books in hopes to touch a lot of students who could use a helping hand.

So pass the word about Campus Book Rentals and you can make a difference too!
You can follow them on Twitter at:   https://twitter.com/textbookrentals  and on facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/CampusBookRentals


Now, I just want to say one more thing, and that's Campus Book Rentals also has what they call "Operation Smile"!  What this is Operation Smile it's a "Making a difference program"!

What We Do

Transforming children's lives through surgery.

Read More >

 First off, they have a partnership with Operation Smile. It's an awesome organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. The long term improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost incomprehensible, and they feel honored to support the children of Operation Smile, and turn those smiles into smiles Just like these here.

Sisters.  The oldest on the left started college, and then she decided to start a family in hopes she could go back some day.  The baby sister on the right is studying right now to be a nurse.  These young hopefuls need a break with all the tuitions, and extra bills, and Campus Book Rentals is here to try and give them that help.

Okay, so I've told you about CampusBookRentals.com and one more thing I would like to mention that I found out about is their new program, RentBack (www.RentBack.com), check this out.


RentBack is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own - to other students... which is awesome because it makes them 2-4x more money compared to what they'd make through buyback options! (selling their books back at the end of the semester) now is that cool or what?
