A Wonderful Weekend Out of Town...

-
Okay so it's the fifth day of Spring and
we had a snow storm last night....

Add caption: "WHY?"

Awkward.... For everyone involved...
It is quite beautiful, but let's not dwell on that for the moment.
Let's talk about my wonderful weekend.

Seldom Worked Territory... Somerset Edition

Saturday 5 cars of folks from my congregation went to help the
Somerset Congregation cover their territory (the area they are
assigned to preach in) and invite as many people as possible to
the Memorial of Christ's Death (Lord's Evening Meal).

We went with the plan of staying all day to help.
For the morning I was put in a car with 3 other sisters
and one 4 year old boy that was super tall and intelligent.
He could have passed for 6 easily.


So Brandy Max and I piled into the suprisingly roomy backseat of this
cubular car and off we went to the Maryland/Pennsylvania border.

We had a wonderful morning inviting people to the Lord's Evening Meal.
It was really nice to work in rural territory and since it is seldom
worked everyone was really nice and receptive.

We went back to their Kingdom Hall for lunch
then regrouped ourselves for the afternoon.

I had a different, but equally awesome car group in the afternoon.
It was comprised of 1 best friend COBE, 1 best friend pioneer partner,
and 1 new friend from the local congregation.

We also worked in the rural area of their territory.

I saw....


Snow covered valley's.....



Big Beautiful Farms...


And windmills!


These little (big) guys are especially controversial
in most areas where they are being erected.
But us city folk love what they represent
(throwback to simpler, less polluted times)
love their sleek look, so take a gander.

Random Photographic Thoughts....


Some random morning last month I was standing on
the porch waiting for my friends to pick me up
when I noticed that as the shadow moved the sun melted the frost.

Neat!

Random cravings...
oven roaste brocolli with cheesy rice lentil garbanzo beans mix

I want this so bad right now...
Of course I dont have the ingredients. 
Argh!

Time for a broccoli nooch run!!!

I love boxes of Stuff!

I received a reviewers box of goodies from the Brad's Raw people last Monday and I really couldn't wait to share it with you.  However, when they said they were sending a sampler I was expecting tiny sample-sized packets, but this is what I got: And since I'm working on not being a greedy gus, I didn't immediately rip into all the packages and devour them. I did eat almost a whole container of the Naked Leafy Kale chips for dinner, but that was out of necessity since i haven't been shopping... Even though I don't strictly follow a gluten free or raw diet, I'm always on the lookout for a good tasting, portable gluten free or raw snack. I usually lean toward the Raw sweet snacks, but I'm open to more salty or savory ones. Along with the box of tasty vittles there was a nicely packaged information folder about how the company started and who Brad is. Brad was the typical American guy (i.e. overweight and unhealthy), but that all changed when he m

In my attempts to reduce my stress load I have rediscovered one of my favorite de-stressors: relaxing with a hot cup of tea. Ive read wonderful things about the relaxing benefits of Earl Grey tea spiked with Bergamot. I have to admit I'm a bit of a tea snob. I like to be able to see the composition of the tea in the bag. I find it thrilling to look in the tea bag and see bits of dried orange and lemongrass. This, of course, can do terrible things to ones wallet. So, in the interest of pinching pennies (sounds gruesome for those poor pennies) I considered the lower costing teas. To be perfectly honest I was not hopeful when I selected this tea. But for a change the tea that cost the least ($2.99) was surprisingly good (Mind you i was shopping at Whole Foods and its pretty hard to buy an awful product there). Bigelow Tea has a wonderful quality to its taste even though it is not a whole leaf tea. And as I was perusing the tea boxes I noticed that it is one of the few teas that has ac

Do you ever Treat Yourself?

Of course I do! But after eating whole foods for so long, my treats tend to be "real food". A treat for me is a trip to Chipotle, Whole Foods prepared foods section, or just cooking something I can't afford regularly (i.e. something with artichokes, avocado, etc.). But that is not to say I don't have non- whole food treats. But feel free to laugh at my list of "naughty" treats. It is kind of annoying when I say I have a craving and my friends laugh because my cravings are relatively "healthy". Anyway, here is a sampling of what I've been indulging in this summer. So Delicious Coconut milk ice cream in Cherry Amaretto with a dollop of Coconut Butter Tortilla chips topped with nooch cheese and tomato sauce Sweet potato fries with peanut butter and coconut butter Soft Pretzel at the Pittsburgh Pirates game Pirates won! Ice coffee with soymilk and maybe a shot of Torani syrup...
