Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I’ve found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I’m feeling for you

Let em say were crazy, I don’t care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Don’t ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if were heart to heart

Chorus:
And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us, nothings gonna stop us now

I’m so glad I found you
I’m not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I’m gonna do

Let em say were crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby
Don’t ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if were heart to heart

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us, nothings gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever, hey

(guitar solo)

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
Well still have each other
Nothings gonna stop us
Nothings gonna stop us, whoa
Nothings gonna stop us now, oh no

Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothings gonna stop us
Hey baby, woo, nothing, hey baby
Nothings gonna stop us now yeah

Challenge/Three Things Challenge

Today’s things are: death, humor, stupid

https://thehauntedwordsmith.wordpress.com/2018/09/27/three-things-challenge-27-sept-2018/

The humor to me is that noone buries a tree

Trees can die and they experience death

How stupid it is to think!

FAVOURITE BOOK…

 

I love the books whose stories go on and on

Whose endings really never end

Whose words take meaning and deliver

Those or the books that I favor.

The books whose characters take on in our own lives

Each playing a starring role

Whenever something impending happens

This is when it starts to grab hold.

Books are like a life between their own covers

My favourite one of these is too many to say

I love the ones who I can guess and follow

Un-ending forever in the mind of its readers.

Let’s talk about … “Nose Uppity People”

 

1684004136-quote-Jesse-Jackson-never-look-down-on-anybody-unless-youre-131382_1Hey guys,

Something has been weighing on my mind for some time now.

It has to do with people who think they are superior to others. Whether these people come from an organization, cult, church, work place, or wherever, you will always find some people who look down their nose on others.

An example is…

A lady whom I will not mention, thinks because she has not had an easy life due to her declining health, and personal circumstances, she finds it hard to accept any other person’s circumstance as dire straights or a good reason  for not getting out and about, for whatever that reason may be.

Don’t you hate it when one person makes a decision to snub another because they think that person is making excuses and all? I do. I do not pretend to know someone elses’ predicaments that they personally deal with, nor should I hold that right, but only to my own self. It is clearly not the way we as humans with hearts should be.

I personally think that for another to quickly condemn or look down their noses at another, well, that means they themselves have something of an issue in their own hearts. I could be over interpreting but I think not.

Just to let you in on a secret or two…

People deal and handle differently each circumstance, event, crisis, and what have you. No one can tell another person how to do that, nor should they, It is wrong, to assume that since you can handle things, another might also. Also, who the heck are you to say for another person, what is their personal battles?

You cannot!

Please if you have been doing this, stop!

No one comes with instructions. No one comes with a plan. We all deal and have different opinions and feelings on all matters of our lives. We are individuals. What may be a “drop  of water” in the bucket to you may be a “waterfall“of emotions for another. Please do not think you are a superior in that. You aren’t.

I am just trying to say in as simple terms as I can….

We ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS with different backgrounds, behaviors, feelings, thoughts, emotions, etc

If you have nothing good to say, think, or implement into another’s life, think twice, stay nice!

Thanks for reading, see you on this side of the rainbow, folks!

MwsR ❤

Slow Cooker Frittata Provencal/Recipe Share

Slow-Cooker-Frittata-Provencal_EXPS_LSBZ18_175023_D01_18_3b-2-696x696.jpgIngredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium Yukon Gold potato, peeled and sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 log (4 ounces) fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped soft sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)

Directions

  • Layer two 24-in. pieces of aluminum foil; starting with a long side, fold up foil to create a 1-in.-wide strip. Shape strip into a coil to make a rack for bottom of a 6-qt. oval slow cooker. Add water to slow cooker; set foil rack in water.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add potato and onion; cook and stir 5-7 minutes or until potato is lightly browned. Stir in paprika. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish (dish must fit in slow cooker).
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, thyme, pepper sauce, salt and pepper; stir in 2 ounces cheese. Pour over potato mixture. Top with tomatoes and remaining goat cheese. Place dish on foil rack.
  • Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Test Kitchen tips

  • We tested this recipe with tomatoes that are ready to use without soaking. When using whole sun-dried tomatoes that are not oil-packed, cover with boiling water and let stand until soft. Drain before chopping.
  • Smoked paprika adds a rich flavor to this dish. You can also use it in recipes that call for ground chipotle pepper.
  • No feta? Cream cheese or mascarpone mixed with yogurt, for tanginess, will work.

Why Do Leaves Change Color?/Information Share

HOW DO WE GET THOSE COLOR CHANGED LEAVES?

Chlorophyll usually steals the spotlight, but leaves also contain other pigments (that’s a substance that provides color), including the ones that make carrots orange and turn egg yolks yellow. Without chlorophyll’s green, these pigments finally make themselves known.
Sometimes, trees also produce the same red pigments that give raspberries their color. Leaves make those red pigments only in the fall, and scientists aren’t sure why it happens. But it must be for a good reason, because it takes a lot of sugar — which the tree needs to save up as much as possible. One guess is that these deep reds help protect dying leaves from sun damage, allowing them to collect energy just a little longer. They may also serve as a warning to animals that might otherwise eat or lay eggs on the leaves.
The exact coloring of fall foliage is the result of a mix of these red, orange and yellow pigments. So environmental conditions that change how much there is of each — such as sun exposure, soil moisture and temperature — can make a big difference. Colors vary by species, too.
Eventually, sunlight and frost kill off all pigments but tannin, which is brown. The very cells of the leaf will break down as well, making them fragile and dry. Meanwhile, the tree creates corklike cells to seal itself off from its leaves, even creating a sort of scab where each one connects to the branches. Eventually wind or some other disturbance will break the dying leaf away, leaving the tree with a tiny scar.
That’s how we get those brilliant bursts of color — and wonderful leaf piles to hop around in. In the spring, trees get to make new leaves and start the whole process again.
