Creatively Simple- How to Make Butter Pecan Divinity
By Penny Raine

Butter Pecan Divinity is a great addition to a Holiday table or given as a gift. Homemade candy is fun and easier than you think. This is one of those treats that should be just that a treat, even homemade candy you don’t want to eat every day. But for that rare occasion or special event this is one to splurge on. The combination of salted pecans, butter and sweetness. This recipe involves a very hot syrup mixture so it isn’t something you want little ones making but they will love to press in the pecan halves in the last step

there is always hope of Spring

100_3958

“As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”

~ Genesis 8:22 ~

As winter approaches here, and we have even gotten a couple early snows, I am reminded that it never lasts forever. As with all things it is only a season. If you are going through a “winter season” in your life, always remember Spring is just around the corner. Bless Him in all things.

be blessed on this incredibly beautiful day!

The purpose of Word filled Wednesday is to share God’s word (no famous quotes or other literature — only the beautiful word of our Father) through photo’s & a Bible verse! You can join myself and others at the Internet Cafe Devotions !

my new Droid Razr – 5 stars here!

I was ready for a phone upgrade a couple months ago, but was really dragging my feet deciding what I wanted. I like the Droids but the last one I got never got good service here, it was one of the first HTC Eris Droids, the phone was probably fine but it is hard to get any cell service here. We have always found that the Motorolas do better. So I was looking at the ones by Motorola and we were thinking back which phones have worked best for us. Mind you I am the only one in the family who acts civilized with a phone, the rest of the folks here drop them from scaffolding, swim horses through water with the phone in their pockets, get bucked off horses with them, and so on, but even I ended up putting one in the washer once. So believe me when we say we know which phones to get and not to get. Some hold up, some don’t.

Anyway we were saying how we loved the old Motorola Razr better than anything. Well my taking my time paid off because I ended up with the new Droid Razr which I love! Now normally it would take me forever to learn how to use the thing but  hey that is the best part about having a 16 yr old daughter. You hand her the phone for about 15 minutes and she not only changes your screen to something pretty but then can teach you every available thing that phone can do. I think mine can even cook dinner if I tell it what I want :) .  So Yay!! I have a new phone! And I pretty much know how to use it. And if you are local I know a wonderful Verizon guy that would love to help you. We actually went in the store this time to upgrade. His name is David Webster and  I would be happy to share his business number if you ask.

Now I just need to find an app to be able to post here, if I remember right there is a wordpress app for Droids.  Hmm, would love to hear what other apps y’all recommend.

disclaimer ~ as always all opinions are my own and this time  I did NOT get paid on this, you get my 5 star review just because I like the phone, I do get something though if you use my link above :)
