Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: 5 Amazing Hope Quotes
Thank You cards @ http://www.cafepress.com/dennylyongifts.757042696 |
Beautiful Illustrated Quotations: 5 Amazing Hope Quotes: From Denny: Hope. We all know what it feels like when hope blooms deep inside our hearts. We all enjoy it when our minds turn to thoughts of hope lifting us up when we need encouragement.
Considering the tragic shooting of 20 little children and their 6 teachers in Connecticut this month right before the Christmas holiday, the economy and job worries of Americans, Hope seems to be in short supply this season.
Here are a few quotes to jump start your Hope again and pull you out of feeling blue or full blown depressed. Sometimes, Life can get overwhelming. Good people often wonder if all they do in the world and for the people in it is really worth it because it appears on the outside that little has changed. That's why it's good to have a few strategies tucked away in your pocket for just those tough times when you need to pull yourself out of a negative spiral and pump yourself back up with some inspiration.

A Christmas Post: True Christmas Story: Funny Christmas Conversations
A Christmas Post: True Christmas Story: Funny Christmas Conversations: From Denny: Think back. How much can you remember about the things your parents used to tell you about Santa? This Christmas Eve my husband and I started that conversation. Though we have been married many years there were still some things we did not know about each other.
We laughed about the incredible stories our parents told us on Christmas Eve. It was becoming a contest between whose parents were the most outrageous storytellers.
Do you remember the funny and downright lame excuses your parents used to give you when talking about Santa coming to visit on Christmas Eve? 3 videos.
Enjoy the profound Peace of the Christmas season!

Romancing The Chocolate: Prize Winner: Peppermint-Hot Chocolate Cake, Fudge Filling, Marshmallow Frosting
Romancing The Chocolate: Prize Winner: Peppermint-Hot Chocolate Cake, Fudge Filling, Marshmallow Frosting: From Denny: Love hot chocolate? Thought of making it into a cake? Britainy Shaw, 25, of Louisiana (before that she lived in Texas and before that in Montana) decided it was a brilliant idea. She heard of Southern Living magazine's contest and decided to enter just for fun, taking third for this cake recipe.
She said her thoughts immediately went to her favorite Christmas flavors. “For some reason, all I could think of were drinks. I love hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps in it.”
Her cake consists of three layers of buttermilk chocolate cake that is filled with a fudge-mint filling, frosted with peppermint-tinged marshmallow crème frosting.
Delivery: 1 fat elf stuffed full of good cheer! Awww, come on; you know you are part of the I Believe Club. Take home a fat elf today!

Romancing The Chocolate: Holiday Cookie: Double-Shot Mocha
Romancing The Chocolate: Holiday Cookie: Double-Shot Mocha: From Denny: OK, never write a cookie post right before lunch. It all looks so good you want to rush into the kitchen and start baking! :) This cookie recipe is basically a dense brownie with pools of melting chocolate oozing out when you break them open straight out of the hot oven!
There are two cups of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks in this awesome recipe, certainly more than I'm used to baking. It's no wonder you can get your chocolate fix in one small cookie all at once.
If you have the discipline to wait until the cookie cools all those chocolate pools solidify into huge nuggets of gooey goodness. No one ever said these little chocolate gems would last long in your house - or mine!
Enjoy the profound Peace of the Christmas season!

Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Video: Happy Dachsund Plays Fetch With Machine
Dachsund (Photo credit: stirwise) |
Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Video: Happy Dachsund Plays Fetch With Machine: From Denny: Check out this hilarious dachsund playing fetch with his own play machine in the hallway of his house. He knows exactly how to place the ball into the machine and when to start running to catch the ball as the machine winds up to throw it.
At the end of the video enters the family's little baby, sitting in the hallway, having fun stuffing the machine with a ball. Then the dog brings another ball to place in the machine. He politely waits for the baby first. When the dog starts running to catch the ball down the hall the baby starts laughing. Definitely in the Too Cute category.

Romancing The Chocolate: Christmas Gift Recipe: Peanut Butter Fudge
Romancing The Chocolate: Christmas Gift Recipe: Peanut Butter Fudge: From Denny: This is an easy unique way to cook fudge - in a slow cooker! What fun, a super simple fast recipe! It has our name all over it and think how you can make up many batches of this to give as hostess gifts at Christmas parties or other seasonal gift giving.
It's also a kid friendly recipe it's so easy to do. You cook the fudge on High in the slow cooker for about 20 minutes total and then pour it out into a pan lined with waxed paper. Place in fridge to cool and harden.
Santa loves the music of the season!

A Truth Journal: Warning: Danger Ahead If Proceed To Susan Rice Sec. of State Nomination
StopThePipelineRally7.RRITC.WDC.7October2011 (Photo credit: Elvert Barnes) |
Now progressives are unhappy with her. Why? Because of her strong ties to the $7 billion XL Pipeline project to deliver filthy oil tar sands clear across America to the Texas oil refineries. That mega-project tunnels under a precious underground aquifer - the only fresh water source for up to half of the entire country.
Turns out Amb. Rice owns a huge amount of stock in TransCanada Corp. - up to $600,000. She also has millions of dollars of stock in other energy companies that invest in oil tar sands like Royal Dutch Shell and Suncor.
Then there are the investments in the Canadian banks that provide loans for these energy company projects. Think someone has a vested interest in making her Sec. of State?
Why is this a big deal?
