The Best Remedy

 

The Best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature, and God.  

 

 

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. 
 As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be.
Anne Frank

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I’ll never see a tree at all.

Grilled Burgers with Provolone, Portabella’s
and Green Onions

By The Gourmet Farm Girl



 
  When I was growing up on the farm,  my mom would fry up cheese burgers; squirt a little ketchup on the top; throw a couple of pickles on; wrap them up along with some cookies and a huge jug of chocolate milk to take to the fields. The men were working late and could not afford to stop and come home for supper. This was usually because they were trying to stay ahead of the rain. I used to like to ride along with her and sit on the tailgate of the truck and eat a burger right along with my dad and grandpa. It was like a little picnic!
Ahhh…great memories!

1 pound of hamburger
1-8 oz package portabella or white mushrooms (sliced)
Leaf lettuce
Sliced Provolone cheese
4-5 Green onions or red onion
Package of hamburger buns
1 tomato

In a medium size skillet on medium heat melt 2-3 Tablespoon of butter; add the sliced mushrooms and sauté till tender; 8-10 minutes; set aside.
Shape the hamburger into 4 quarter pound patties; salt and pepper; fry or grill till cooked through; 12-15   minutes depending on the heat used. Place the cheese on top of each burger; remove from heat and tent for  5 minutes. 
 Spread a small amount of butter on each bun (top and bottom) and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes till just golden brown; remove form heat and layer with leaf lettuce
Unwrap burgers and place on buns with lettuce leaves; top with the mushrooms, onions, tomato, etc etc etc… ENJOY!

Good Morning…



This Bible belonged to my great- great-great-grandmother on my father’s side of the family. I found it many years ago tucked away in an old trunk in the attic. She was born Miss Anna Catherine Bender  in Wurtenburg Germany in 1791, she married John George Guinther born in Wurtenburg 1782 and who had served in Napoleon’s Army. 

  



The writing inside it’s hard and rough cover reads: This beautiful Bible book belonged to Catherina Gunther. I received it from my daughter at Christmas in Mohringen in 1814. I will live my life in the name of Jesus. Jesus shall guide my steps through life and prepare my soul for eternity. My last words shall be for Jesus, through Jesus, by Jesus.



Have a Blessed Sunday…

Nature is paining for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty
if only we have eyes to see them.
John Ruskin



I never weary of great churches. It is my favorite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a catherdral.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Tybee Island Light Station
The Lighthouse History

Ordered by General James Oglethorpe, Governor of the 13th colony, in 1732, the Tybee Island Light Station has been guiding mariners safe entrance into the Savannah River for over 270 years. The Tybee Island Light Station is one of America’s most intact having all of its historic support buildings on its five-acre site. Rebuilt several times the current lightstation displays its 1916 day mark with 178 stairs and a First Order Fresnel lens (nine feet tall).

  The Tybee Island Light, also known simply as the Tybee Lighthouse is located on Tybee Island, Georgia, east of Savannah at the mouth of the Savannah River. The Tybee Lighthouse is one of just a handful of 18th century lighthouses still in operation

Enjoy your day!

True Love
“As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide (remain) in my love.
If you keep my father’s commandments and abide (remain) in his love,”
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
John 15:9-10,12

The name Punxsutawney comes from the Indian name for the location

“ponksad-uteney” which means “the town of the sandflies.”
The name woodchuck comes from the Indian legend of “Wojak,
the groundhog” considered by them to be their ancestral grandfather
According to the old English saying:
If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Winter has another flight.
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
Winter will not come again.
From Scotland:
If Candlemas Day is bright and clear,
There’ll be two winters in the year.

From Germany:
For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day,
So far will the snow swirl until May.
For as the snow blows on Candlemas Day,
So far will the sun shine before May.

And from America:
If the sun shines on Groundhog Day;
Half the fuel and half the hay.
Enjoy your Groundhog Day…
