Surround yourself with people who make you happy.
People who make you laugh,
People who help you, when you're in need.
People who would never take advantage of you.
People who genuinely care.
Be that someone too!
As they are the ones, worth keeping in your life.
Everyone else is just passing through.

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ~Rudy Giuliani

Coolness, crispness and colours galore
Autumn soon once again you will arrive at our door
The Hues, new shoes, school schedules appear once again
Before me all accents of the most autumn kind
Yes we are leaving our summer behind
Crickets casanova, birds spell out a V in flight
Chinese lanterns in our gardens, wind chimes more echoes abound
Birds soon fly south, and oh the taste in my mouth
of our glorious Thanksgiving feasts, a bountiful harvest
Pumpkins, ghourds and Halloween soon
and our Canadian Thanksgiving with pumpkin pie and the ice cream spoon
I'll embrace you autumn and again in silent prayer will say.........
Thank you God for our beatuiful seasons.......
Thank you God for our reasons to embrace love and joy
and one another.

Some of the beautiful creations of my dear friend Dani
So very talented indeed
If I were a gifted painter,
I would paint a world of delight.
If I were a wordsmith of note,
I would create a universe of kindness.
If my voice could entrance generations,
My music would echo round the globe.

I am simply what I am,
A Soul blessed with sight.
I see what the World could be.
I speak of Life, Joy and Love.
I build with my heart,
To the eternal tune of the song of Light.

Warm the olive oil in a medium-size flameproof casserole set over a medium-low heat. Add the stewing beef and brown evenly on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the beef to a bowl and set aside.
Add the pork to the pot and brown evenly on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the pork to a bowl and set aside.
Stir the garlic and onions into the pot and cook until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir to loosen any bits of meat that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the tomatoes and basil. Return the meat to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated in the bottom of the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the tomatoes have sweetened and the meat is very tender, about 1 ½ hours.
