The Old Woman in the Shoe
Hero- A Definition Essay
A hero is someone who has, sometimes against all odds, sometimes easily, become great. Some people consider a rich man to be a hero, because he has a lot of money. This could be true but not because of material. A hero must have accomplished something great, such as saving a life, or like Rosa Parks maybe you just kept your seat.
There is a hero in every facet of life, because a hero in roof work might only be a fast shingler; but he is still great in that way. Then there are the heroes in the limelight, such as Martin Luther King, and Abraham Lincoln.
Fame is not to be confused with heroism. You may be famous for acting in a good movie, but you haven’t become a hero. You can be a hero from the smallest ice fishing village in Canada.
There are different types of heroes, such as Teddy Roosevelt, who simply inspired many, or a firefighter, who has save hundreds of people’s lives. Maybe you gather money for charity, or save stray dogs.
There are many words for hero, but I think they mean the same thing. A hero is a great person, regardless of how or why.

Pennsylvania Dutch Pot Pie
My husband is very proud of his Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and is constantly sharing it with me even though he has exported it to Georgia. I know he misses it very much so I though I could bring a little Dutch to Georgia for him , so I bought Betty Groff’s Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook.
I have only made one recipe so far, Pot Pie and admittedly there was cook failure it being my first time and all but it was still a hit with my whole family. Pennsylvania Dutch pot pie is not what you are thinking. It is not a pastry shell filled with a thick meat stew but rather, imagine that pie all chopped up and mixed together. Basically you make squares of pastry and drop them into the, in this case, chicken stew.
Perhaps I am wrong but it is much like chicken in dumplings with flat noodles as opposed to dough balls.
It should be nice to have a Dutchmen help me out with the difference.
I was going to put a link to the Amazon store i bought my book from but it seems they are sold out of this particular book however I found some links to similar books that I intend to buy but thought I would share so you can check them out too.
Take Off with the Fly Lady
I have been having motivation issues not just in one area but many as you can see from the desolate place this site has become. I did not seem to be able to get out of my funk but never ceased looking for an answer, a way out and Ifinally thought of one though it took me a while to even get motivated enough to just click but finally I did.
There is a site I visit often for work and several years ago one of the ladies mentioned a motivational website that sounded interesting, http://www.flylady.net/index.asp. It is geared toward women and house keeping but does not end there, it even helps with self esteem. I enjoy every visit, especially when I get to read cool little topics like, “Are YOU living in CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome)”
I very much enjoy participating in a support group type scenario but working from home and having four children makes it hard to physically get out, alone, to be a part of these things and this little online community gives me theopportunity to be a part of the group at my leisure.
I am only on baby step five but already I am feeling better, looking better and my house is reaping the rewards.
If you find yourself overwhelmed maybe they flay lady is for you.

The Owl
The cool owl
We go exploring a lot and take pictures of all the cool things we find.
This day was certainly not lacking anything cool. After having breakfast out, feeding the ducks and geese at the park we were driving down a back road and saw this guy standing in the middle of the road. He was so beautiful and did not appear to be hurt or scared of us for that matter. When Scott went to try to pick him he rotated his head all the way to his back following Scott’s progress. That could intimidate anyone.
So with the owl distracted, I got a thick, quilted baby blanket from the far and put it over the owl and moved him to the side of the road after two attempts. I did not want to hold him to tightly in case something was injured.
He must not have been too badly hurt because after we got him to the side of the road he flew away.
I think getting to be so close to him made everyone’s day.

The Taste of Chicago-In Georgia
I have been living in Georgia now for almost fifteen years but still yearn for tastes from my childhood. Being an army brat could make that confusing but the place I spent the most time was the Chicago area. I remember th food fondly, right down to browns chicken where I would get an order fried mushrooms and chicken livers. You could not ask for a better meal.
I know it seems silly that I should remember fondly Brown’s chicken but it as a place my dad used to take me to before the divorce and one of the very last times I saw him. While my mom might think it was not very sentimental of him to take me there during our visits and maybe she is right, I will never knock it because I loved going there with both her and him.
Today my home-schooled son had CRCT testing in Douglasville so Scott, Ana and I stopped in this little place that adversed Vienna Sausages, We took him to get something to eat prior to going and knew he probably would not like this place because he is not a meat eater which is why we waited. Well now I want to take the whole family.
The place in run by a lady from Chicago who, like me seriously missed all the good food they had there and you could not drive a mile in the burbs with out seeing a little hole in the wall advertising Vienna sausages. She not only brought sausages but Italian beef , hot dogs pizza puffs, Chicago style fried mushroom and so much more here to Georgia!
Not only that but they have family night, ladies night, comedy night as well as jazz and soul food night.
The little place is called The Taste and is located on the main drag in downtown Douglasville. If you want authentic Chicago style food it is the place to be!

Essence of Emeril is Fantasic
I absolutely love Essence of Emeril and the great thing about that is all my picky kids love it too. Right now as I type I have three chicken breasts baking in the oven coated with essence and this time like all the times before, the chicken will be fabulous.
I have been thinking of adding a little vinegar oil and water to make an essence marinade but have yet to try it. I think it would be wonderful.
If you have not tried this wonderful spice concoction you are seriously missing out!
