Slide show of Christ set to music

Mi suegra (my mother-in-law) - that is still very weird to me...sent me this website of this slide show. It is really incredible - it is all photos that I have never seen before and it is set to one of my favorite songs "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". It is beautiful. I really like this artist becuase I feel like Christ looks real to me - it makes him feel much closer and tangible, more human. Check it out...

Silent Night & 2 Girls in Blue Dresses

Silent Night is the second book that I have read from Mary Higgins Clark. 2 Girls in Blue Dresses was the first one I read. It was short, but a good story. Her books read the same - they are quick reads and not uninteresting, but they all kind of are the same. As the reader you just want to strangle the stupidity of some of the characters and how things just fall into place and work out. I think I will check out some more

The Treasure Box

It took me only 2 days while sub teaching to read this book. It is nice that I could do that during my "planning period". I really enjoyed it. Orson Scott Card just really has a way of hooking you at the beginning and then all of a sudden the story just completely changes and it becomes almost so crazy, it is believable. I always enjoy reading his book. This book really makes you wonder if there are witches all around us and we just don't know it. I always like how he throws in "Mormon" things too - like the character driving by the Mormon temple or something like that. It was interesting how he talked about how the dead live here on earth, but that we just don't see them. hmmm...sounds familiar.

The Breadmaker

Me with my new creation - a 2 lb loaf of 2 cheese bread!
trying to get that bread holder out of the breadmaker - man was it hard!
We cut off one end when we realized we could use our bread slicer to get a perfect bread slice
slicing away!

So we got pretty much all the kitchen gadgets when we got married. I finally tried out one of them. I have always wanted a bread maker because I have envied all those people that can make bread...we never home-made bread in my house when growing up. We had the missionaries over for the 3RD time this week and I made Italian food - you have to have bread with that. I found a recipe for 2 cheese bread and made it. Too bad I didn't know how long it was going to take to bake until I actually started it. It wasn't done in time for the Elders - so we could eat more - MuHAha! And we were able to even use our handy dandy food slicer too. How exciting! Who thinks we can open our own bread factory?
