The Betty Crocker Creed


The Betty Crocker Creed -
I believe homemaking is a noble and challenging career.
I believe homemaking is an art requiring many different skills.
I believe homemaking requires the best of my efforts, my abilities and my thinking.
I believe home reflects the spirit of the homemaker.
I believe home should be a place of peace, joy and contentment.
I believe no task is too humble that contributes to the cleanliness, the order, the health, the well being of the household.
I believe a homemaker must be true to the highest ideals of love, loyalty, service and religion.
I believe home must be an influence for good in the neighborhood, the community, the country.

I have always loved "Little Lulu" comic books. 


Ethnic doll and Budapest key chain my son brought for me from his trip to Europe in 2009.






This was my Christmas tree in 2012.

Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes, Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, The bird of dawning singeth all night long; And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad; The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, So hallowed, and so gracious is the time. (Hamlet: Act 1, Scene 1 William Shakespeare)

God created people in His own image to have fellowship with Himself. But we have cut ourselves off from God by sin. Only when sin is removed can we have fellowship again. This is why Jesus Christ came to this earth: that he might "bare our sins in his own body on the tree" (I Peter 2:24)

Avon

Well, I've started selling Avon. I have several customers so far. I haven't been trying as hard as I should, but there is a lot to learn.

Hi, again!

♥ Reading my favorite blogs makes me want to get back to crafting. I've started crocheting again. But mostly I need to start taking more pictures and posting them. I would love to get a new camera. I'd like one with a really good zoom. This is a bad time of year to be thinking of buying a new camera, because of all the birthdays coming up and of course there's Christmas. The camera will probably have to wait until after the new year.

I went picketing today at the usual place, in front of a Planned Parenthood. If my sign convinces one woman to not have an abortion, all my time spent picketing will be worth it.

Then I went to our family picnic. We had a great time. I bought a bucket of KFC chicken and everyone else brought something. We ate and played and laughed a lot! The weather was perfect. I wish we could do this more often. ♥

Hi!

I have been reading my favorite blogs and I am surprised at how far behind I am. I've been so involved with Facebook. I miss blogging. Today, I visited my daughter Shari and little Giddy. He is two years old. I wish I had gotten a video of him riding his scooter. She made popcorn for us and I wondered why I don't make it for myself. I think it's because I like to put a lot of butter on it. I need to start posting more and including pictures again.
