March Missed

*BACKDATED SECONDARY TO LANDSLIDE*


Sometimes life throws curveballs....

Even when you should be expecting them, you don't. Sorry for our recent bloggy absence but we have been trying to get our heads back above water. Don't worry, everyone is healthy. We are DETERMINED to survive this and God willing, we will.

Despite the "landslide" as we have now termed it, late Feb. and March were filled with bike riding and fund raising for the MS 150! Thanks to everyone who has supported M. and I, Team Tenet, and overall our quest to support the search for the cure for Multiple Sclerosis with words of advice & luck as well as FUNDS to reach our goal! GOOD NEWS--> we did it! We raised $800 together!! WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :)

We will KEEP MOVING FORWARD! :)

Enjoy the pics from one of the many BAKE sales we have had at the hospital! :)

Healing power of cooking...HOLY MOLE'

*BACKDATED SECONDARY TO LANDSLIDE*


They say the art of cooking has restorative power to the soul...

We spent the weekend giving it a shot! AND since the landslide I'll say we needed it! Months ago M. bought an "authentic" Mexican cookbook because he was interested in the process of making mole'. I say "process" since you can find/read about how mole' in Mexico is often contributed to by the whole community. It isn't a quick thing to make from scratch! We spent hours toasting, roasting, stewing, blending, chopping, grinding...........and finally tasting the 18+ ingredient sauce!

Was is healing? Hmm....it at least gave us something constructive to spend our time on! So I guess YES--it was! It was quite delicious!

Landslide

On my weekly blog perusal one of my favorite bloggers posted something that spoke to me...

Landslide

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well...

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older, too
Well I'm getting older too

So, take this love and take it down
If you climb a mountain and ya turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well maybe the landslide will bring you down
