One Thousand Gifts {1- 30}


Thursday night Eric and I had a good hangout, catch up around the house, and talk night.  My favorite kind of nights.  I asked him what he thought about my Thousand Gifts lists idea.  He said he'd like to see me post it as it would be good accountability for me to stick to a schedule (I love that he knows me so well), but that he feared I'd post things too private or personal.  So we agreed.  I could post the list, just be cryptic about anything too, too personal.  Deal.

I am going to do the weekly blog link up called Multitudes on Monday - One Thousand Gifts.   It was created and hosted by the author of the book.

I will keep a daily journal at home and then post my list here each Monday.   I hope you enjoy, and begin to count the small blessings in your own lift.

    Welcome to the journey of a Thousand Gifts. It's been a wonderful, joyful experience for me, thus far... and I'm only on 370-something. Found you over at Ann's place, by the way.

    Have a blessed day, new friend!

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Baking with Betty: Dunwoody Dip

You're probably asking yourself, what is Dunwoody Dip? And it's a great question! It's easy to make. Melty. Cheesy. Meaty. A little bit spicy. And everyone LOVES it!  The origin, though, it's a more difficult to nail down.  My grandmother, who is from Dunwoody, Ga, actually heard about this dip when she was visiting friends in Denver.  Urban legend has it that some guy brought the dip to a party in Denver and when prompted for a name he stalled and said "Dunwoody Dip." Because, apparently he was from Dunwoody.   Who really knows? All I do know, is that this dip is yummy, very easy to make, and is always the first gone at a party or family get together.  Also, Eric might have married me because of this... Dunwoody Dip Ingredients: One tube of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage Two cans of Rotel Tomatoes - Hot Two bars of Cream Cheese Big bag of Fritos Scoops Directions: Preheat oven to 325. In a large frying pan over medium-ish heat, brown the sausage. ...
