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!

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

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...

Relaxing ... Refreshing ... Adventure

By
WARNING: MANY PICTURES!! We never go on day trips, but this week (to take the kids' minds off the fact that Daddy is gone--in the Philippines), I took the kids to Santa Barbara. I made it a surprise (which I don't often do), and we had a relaxing day together. And, of course, I took a gazillion pictures (actually 64). So, after a lot of painstakingly difficult choices, I have narrowed the pictures I will post to "only" about 10. So, family, sit back and enjoy, and friends, skim through them quickly :) The day started with the L-O-N-G ride (2 1/2 hours to be exact), and the proverbial "Are we there yet?" with a little twist: Ashley would ask "Are we halfway there yet?" Are we 3/4 of the way?" etc. You get the picture. They were great in the car until the last 20 minutes or so. We started our time there with a nice little picnic at this really neat park. Here are some pictures: This picture doesn't really do the park justice, but it will giv...
