Wednesday Words: Jenny


Jenny handed the blueprints to the carpenter.  “Run!  We have two hours!” Then she turned to the expectant faces and knew in an instant that they were clinging to her every word, every command.

“You!  Over there!  Crystallize these!...And you! Make this and pay attention to the fragrance!  Pumpkin and Vanilla, yes, with vanilla beans!”  More commands, running all the time.

When the timer showed that there were only 10 minutes left, the carpenter wheeled in her design:  a haunted house with lots and lots of shelves!  Perfect.

Jenny’s team began loading the cupcakes, all decorated in different morbid designs.  Jack-o-lanterns, spiders, and ghosts—they all raced to load the cupcakes onto the shelves.
“10—9—8—7—6—5—4—3—2—1  And bakers, stand away from your displays!”

Jenny shivered in expectation.  Would she win the $10,000?  Would she?!!

August 31st

It is 93ยบ outside and the time is 10:30 AM.

This is the last day of August.

When life is unbearable in a California roasting oven, a CostCo trip is required.  It is air-conditioned.

The chilled fresh produce room can hold 20 people, easy.  The chilled dairy products room can hold at least 50 people, as long as everyone keeps moving.  

This was there…



And this was there…




There is hope after all.

Today is Labor Day...

Today is Labor Day, and I don’t expect bloggers to be out in huge numbers checking their blogs.  You will probably be eating potato salad, grilled stuff, and visiting with family.

This blog is to recognize all the people (or as many who flit through my brain) who will be working like they do all the time.  These people are the backbone of communities.

Farmers and all people who work the earth to supply people food.

Truck drivers and all  who move products from one place to the other.

Doctors, nurses and all people in medical professions

Parents and grandparents and anyone who cares for a child’s needs

Firemen, policemen, EMT professionalsGod bless you!

There are so many other people who dedicate their lives to helping others and who do not take the day off because it is a federal holiday, Labor Day.  I am sure you know more who could be added to this list.  Feel free to honor them as well.

We are blessed to have them.
