A GOOD MONDAY for a change!

So, my daughter came in last night from what we thought was her snowboarding weekend, but the excitement wasn't from the trip. She and her friends got in town early, in time to go and listen to a presentation by Jim Caviezel at a local church. It was great and she was able to speak with him and get his autograph. Jim is a most favored actor in our household. He was truly amazing the "Passion of the CHRIST". We first discovered him in the "Count of Monte Cristo". "Angel Eyes" is another favorite of ours. He is such a humble man. A good man. He and other actors made cds of the Holy Bible in a dramatic setting. It's wonderful. My husband and I began listening to Matthew this evening and Jim's voice is beautiful. This is going to be so helpful now that the Lenten season is starting soon. The other exciting news is that I made my very first pie crust that I actually liked, this afternoon. As I'm still limping around from my injured knee, baking is about the only thing I can do with out too much pain. I just take several rest periods in between adding the ingredients. I made an apple pie. Since dinner my husband has eaten one half of it! This is because I hadn't made any home made goodies since the Holydays. So now I have perfected several recipes and soon I'm hoping to get them all together for my daughters and grand-daughters to have from me. I wish I could have something like this from my mom And my dad, they were both excellent cooks. I can't make my mom's Sunday potroast nor my dad delicious red chile! Oh well, I'll keep on trying to perfect my recipes!
