I don't like to give too much advice (that's a lie and you know it, but humor me). But, here is a piece of advice everyone should heed. If you ever feel the urge to make pumpkin soup for a soup kitchen - DON'T. These are some of the comments I received regarding the gourmet pumpkin soup I made and served at a local soup kitchen.
"Who made this, Mr. Jack O. Lantern?"
"Is this baby food?"
"I don't eat orange food."
"This looks like baby s***."
"Who puked?"
"What else you got?"
"Thanks lady, but no thanks."
And my personal favorite.
"I'm a vegetarian . . . oh, this is pumpkin? I'm fasting."

About Me
- Life Adapted
- *updated~ It's now 2021, my kids have their own life, but they still give me plenty of fodder. My daughter got tired of me venting to her, so she set me up with a blog. Well, the joke is on her because I make her proof-read my blogs. . . sometimes twice to be sure. I am happily married to a great guy, for 26 years (*36 years and counting!!). He married me in 1984, then in 1989 and 2007 (*and 2014 in Italy) we renewed our vows. Our children and our faith are our life. Preparing our kids to go out in the world as strong Christian soldiers is priority now. Our time will come later (*it's here!!). We love the Lord and love serving Him. As a friend of mine said, I don't apologize for being human, but strive for the eternal. I hope my blogs will make you laugh and think about life in a new perspective.
