The 4th I think is going to be fun but a long day smoking. I am going to start at about 7 am, and get the Boston Butts, on the smoker with some Oak wood, and later in the day rub down some ribs and start them around 11 or so. By 5 some Corn grilling alng with some Zuchinni, homemade baked beans which too will start early in the morning. Some Iron skillet jalepeno cornbread, and some Jicama slaw to throw in some roughage and I think we'll be good here.... :)

Hi Diane. I was so delighted to get a comment from you. I have been meaning to hit your page but I can't do everything when I think about it. My brain forgets half that is in it. ha ha

Thank you for your sweet comment. You just made my night and tomorrow too.

Lately, I have been so busy with yard work that I have no business doing but as long as the grass grows and the vines try to take over, I will be out there attacking it all. I love yard work but I am having to learn to slow down. It does not all have to be done in a day. Right...a part of my brain will just not listen to that. hee hee.

I hope you have been well. I sure do miss not seeing you in any of the discussions like I once did.

How are things with you? Are you getting out more now that the weather is not cold? How is your cat?

Don't Judge Me Until You Have Walked in My Shoes For Awhile.

>> I never ask anyone for help
>> I never ask anyone to feel sorry for me
>> I try to be as independent as possible
>> I try to get thru life on my own two legs, as wobbly as they are
>> I just ask others to have tolerance toward what they do not understand or know about
>> I ask others to be patient toward others
>> I ask others to realize you are not perfect, either
>> You do not need to criticize me, I can do that all on my own
>> My husband always said I was my own worst critic
>> I ask others to be more understanding to others needs
>> I do not lie
>> last time I bought myself clothes or shoes was about five years ago
>> I do have several health problems
>> I am on medications
>> I took on the responsibility of being a pet owner when Tiger came into my life 18 years ago
>> I do buy food and medication for Tiger and Thomas, as a responsible pet owner
>> Part of the reason I have become housebound is to stay away from the things that trigger an asthma attack and migraines
>> I do without certain things so I can afford my internet service, which is my LIFELINE

SO, do not judge me, and I won't judge you.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
-- The Dalai Lama
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.
--Dalai Lama
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.
--Dorothy Canfield Fisher
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.

Good habits are as easy to form as bad ones.

Intimacy means that we're safe enough to reveal the truth about ourselves in all its creative chaos. If a space is created in which two people are totally free to reveal their walls, then those walls, in time, will come down.
--Marianne Eilliamson
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being."
--Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What you thought before has led to every choice you have made, and this adds up to you at this moment. If you want to change who you are physically, mentally, and spiritually, you will have to change what you think."
--Dr. Patrick Gentempo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
--Leo Buscaglia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
--Chuang Tzu
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I find television very educating.
Every time somebody turns on the set,
I go into the other room and read a book.
--Groucho Marx
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life.
--Brother David Steindl-Rast
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
--Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968)
minister, civil rights leader, 1964 Nobel Peace Prize recipient
