Summer Concert!

By Carmela
Summer Concert 2015
My best friend from college invited me to a Summer Concert downtown tomorrow!  We went last year and had sooooo much fun!

BUT, we are not "Summer Concert" regulars, so we are going to do it right this year.  :)  Last year, most people brought what I would call "Fancy, Summer Concert in the Park" food--wines, cheeses, delicious appetizers, etc.  It was such a fun experience--the Latin music playing in the background, a full dance floor (with us on it most of the time!), people sitting at tables enjoying their fancy food and beverages.  It looked so festive!

We, however, had a bottle of water.  Period.  :)  So THIS YEAR we are more well-versed in Summer Concert protocols, and we will participate fully in the festive atmosphere!

I told my friend that I would bring the food.  So I was contemplating the menu today, and I think I've selected a few things:

  • Caprese Salad a la Carmela (mine is not the traditional version)
  • Turkey Curry Wraps  (I LOVE curry!)
  • Fresh fruit and berry salad (IF I can find good quality fruit)
  • good quality crackers, cheese, and wine (I'll go to Trader Joe's today)
  • maybe some simple, good ol' chocolate chip cookies
We can pick and choose from that.  Plus, my friend said she'll bring some stuff, too.

I'll take pictures and post them next week.

I think that's it for today!  Short and sweet!

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
