SHRIMP BURGERS, NAAN VEGGIE GRILLED PIZZAS, KINDNESS, DIY CONCRETE BLOCK GARDENS, HOW TO CLEAN PATIO FURNITURE LIKE A PRO

June 3rd greetings!  And hello Month of June!

My mom’s birthday was June 1 and a grand get-together happened.
Unfortunately, it was in California and I was not in attendance.  However, my sisters were and my youngest sister, Lisa, was the shaker-maker-and creator of all things called birthday lunch/food requested by Mom:  fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, creamed corn, green beans, rolls and rhubarb pie for dessert.  Bravo Lisa!  Jennie was the clean up crew – as in dishes.  Clap-clap, Jen.
I received pics — thanks to our modern day technology tucked in our pockets called cell phones with camera + able to zap over lickety-split!

Birthday girl had a grand time.

Another very cool line-up today!

Beginning with:

BEST TIPS FOR CLEANING OUTDOOR FURNITURE
Power washer/and or Dawn soap (blue) with a soft brush.
I’m totally on it!

HOW TO MAKE DIY CINDER BLOCK GARDEN
As in herbs and or succulents.  Totally love this cool idea because I/we can create a super cool planting inside the pockets of the cinder blocks and arrange the blocks in groups — here, there, everywhere!  Super outdoor living space artsy idea.

BEAUTIFUL PORTRAITS OF MAJESTIC HORSES
Indeed, there is absolutely a majesty about horses – EYES, manes, powerful, graceful strength like no other animal that they naturally and effortlessly ARE.  No favorite pic for me.  All are stunning.

RECIPES!
GRILLED NAAN PIZZAS
Fantastic yummo!  And love that EVERYTHING is grilled.  Can’t get this in the frozen section at the market or take-out from a pizza joint!
SHRIMP BURGERS
What? Pzzzzapp!  Never heard of such.  Fascinating and what a fantastic recipe/twist on a “burger.”
CRAB GUACAMOLE
Guacamole is a fan favorite to many of us — but with crab?
Super star status!
BROCCOLI STEM STIR FRY
Now we know how to use ALL the parts of broccoli to enjoy!
5 INGREDIENT STRAWBERRY PIE
Hello red slices of Heaven!

RICHARD GOODALL
On America’s Got Talent.  I’ve never been an avid watcher of the program.  However, I might tune in a little more after seeing this like *10 or more times* – incredibly touching and so real and full of heart.
Seriously, worth a few minutes of your time to watch.  My sister sent it to me.  And once you watch it – will totally stick in your memory — like forever.  Will mine.  So very special.
Go Mr. Richard!

KINDNESS
THOSE WHO BRING SUNSHINE INTO
THE LIVES OF OTHERS CANNOT
KEEP IT FROM THEMSELVES

1. If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
2. Forgiveness is not forgetting, but remembering without bitterness.
3. I expect to pass through life but once.  If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any gift to any fellow being, let me do it now and and not neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.
4. Always be kinder than necessary.  If you have not often felt the joy of doing a kind act and have neglected much, and most of all yourself.  If, at the end, all that can be said of you is that you were kind — is enough.
5. Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will spend its whole life thinking it is stupid.
6. Peace in your mind, Love in your heart, and Joy in your soul.
7. When you are alone take care of your thoughts and when you are with other people take care of your words.
8. When a person does a good deed when he or she did not have to, God looks down and smiles and says, “For this moment alone, it was worth creating the world.”
9. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength.
10. “Tell me a fact and I’ll learn; tell me a truth and I’ll believe; tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.”
11. Don’t count the years, count the memories.
12. Spending time with children is more important than spending money on them.
13. Education is not about learning facts, but about teaching the brain to think.
14. Beautiful young people are acts of nature – but beautiful old people are works of art.
15. People may forget what you said.  People may forget what you did.  But people will never forget how you made them feel.
16. The 3 most difficult things to say:  I love you.  Sorry.  Help me.
17. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
18. You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon will be too late.
19. A wise man was asked what he had gained by meditating and he replied, “Nothing, but what I have lost is — anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age and fear of death.
