No training/education is wasted and God can use you in ways that have nothing to do with the court system (which sadly, as you mentioned, isn't always 'just'). <br />Glad to know your snow is GONE now:)<br />Blessings, Aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-53282233384773815742014-03-05T13:20:55.161-06:002014-03-05T13:20:55.161-06:00Hi Betsy, I don't know how Rizwana made the sp...Hi Betsy, I don't know how Rizwana made the spicy potato sandwiches. She cooked potatoes with spices that they use in Sri Lanka and then used the sandwich maker to get them toasty. Never had them before but was quite tasty. I will ask how she made the potato stuffing. :) Warm hugs and blessings, TammyTammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-48947717474789483722014-03-04T23:25:29.792-06:002014-03-04T23:25:29.792-06:00Dear Betsy.. you're such a wonderful and gener...Dear Betsy.. you're such a wonderful and generous friend! I'm so sorry to see of your snow.. we had an ice storm on Sunday, but I was still able to head out for my beach trip.. the ice stopped as soon as I got to the 205 interchange. I'm so excited about the doily and so is my piano! LOL! I'm sure looking forward to our next lunch. See you soon.. and I just know the snow will stop soon. Or you could move to Portland. :-D<br />((hugs)), Teresa :-) Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-21739106514019192422014-03-04T16:54:33.443-06:002014-03-04T16:54:33.443-06:00BLess you community efforts.

I hope it stops soon, and melts away to reveal softer days, and blooming flowers!<br />I could not do the volunteer work you are training for either. <br />xo KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-17049514601205802012014-03-04T08:13:13.984-06:002014-03-04T08:13:13.984-06:00Oh no!

I've given up on trying to keep it at bay. :) Yes, I would agree that it would be difficult to handle such cases. You are doing such a good thing with all your crochet and knitting.

I'm glad you have been able to get out to worship and visit with friends in spite of the challenging weather.<br />Cheers for all your stitching! I have made no stitching progress of late. Today I have been preparing for our Thursday morning Bible study I am helping to facilitate, and I need some catch up time for paperwork.<br />Did you pick a date for our gathering this month? I'm looking forward to seeing you soon! xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-39914080282742563212014-03-03T20:13:52.888-06:002014-03-03T20:13:52.888-06:00Wishing for spring to come very, very soon to your...Wishing for spring to come very, very soon to your neck of the woods! And it sounds like you and I are much alike...I don't think I would be able to handle the intense emotions of each case either. What a sweet soul you are!

WOW. I...Oh, just look at all that beautiful snow! WOW. I got my mix of Snooze Tincture herbs a couple of days ago. Tried it last night and didn't sleep a wink and felt kind of nauseous after drinking it. I just made some tea with a Tblsp of the herbs and about a tsp of valerian root powder. It tasted like ass in the grass! Ha-ha-ha! But I drank it anyway. I'm going to try the vodka method as soon as I can get to the store to get some. Maybe that will be easier to take. How do you make your tea and what else do you put in it other than the herbs? I sweetened mine with a little Splenda and added some milk. That made it taste a little better. I'm convinced I just made and drank the tea too early in the evening. I had it at about 8:00 and didn't go to bed until after 11. You can email me rather than commenting here if you want.

I know I would end up the same way. What you're already doing is kind and very helpful for the babies. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-34811857470201387462014-03-03T11:58:58.412-06:002014-03-03T11:58:58.412-06:00Hello Betsy, I am more than over the snow for thi...Hello Betsy, I am more than over the snow for this year.

I am so over winter as well! <br /><br />I think you will be a blessing no matter where you go or who you help because that is who you are! :) Just think of all the lives you have touched with your loving gifts made not just from your hands, but your heart as well. I think you are pretty awesome!<br /><br />oh, and I am still working away on the doily...not much progress this past weekend, but hope to made a dent in it this week. : ) <br /><br />Wishing you a day filled with many blessings sweet friend. <br />Stitchy Mc Floss https://www.blogger.com/profile/00562041622656969121noreply@blogger.com
