Sarah Mae over at A Warm Cup of Coffee gave me this award on Friday. I have to tell you that she truly reminds me of that warm and comforting feeling you get from a warm cup of coffee. We don't always have the same point of view but I know when I visit her blog, I'll come away with provoking thoughts and happy that I visited. :)
The fun part about this award is, it comes with a questionnaire. Here goes:
1. Do you have the same friends since childhood? I do! I have a group of girlfriends from high school. We are very close but I have also added many friends over the years that I consider family (yeah, I'm talking about you French Fatum).
1. Do you have the same friends since childhood? I do! I have a group of girlfriends from high school. We are very close but I have also added many friends over the years that I consider family (yeah, I'm talking about you French Fatum).
2. What do you value most about your friends? That we are all different people, have different opinions but love each other to the ends of the earth.
3. Are your friends your sounding boards? My husband is my first sounding board really. Then it's a tie between friends and my mom.
4. What is your favorite activity to share with your friends? Dinner out!
Now I get to pass this award along to four of my bloggy friends. Are you ready? Here's to you!

Cool answers! I took a read of your friend's Blog a few hours ago and it's good stuff.
I think it is so amazing that you had the power to actually limit it to four. Because I am confident that I am in the top five.
Right?
Here are my original recipes. Have you ever had any paranormal experiences?
==============================
Hearty Soup
Ingredients
V-8 Juice-lge container
Frozen Stew Vegetables 1 or 2 pkg
Stew Beef 2-3 lbs.
Frozen Italian Green Beans I pkg
Spring Water 2@ 8 oz bottles
Bay Laurel leaves 3
Place frozen vegetables in soup pan and pour in
V-8 juiice with medium
heat onburner. If you wish to add water,
only use Spring water. Trim any marble
from beef andsaute gently in olive oil in fry pan,
stirring to keep from overdoing and only
brown the outside of the meat.
Use just enough oil to keep from
burning and then stir into soup.Add in
Bay leaves, but be sure to remove them before serving.
Warning! Bay leaves are not digestible.!
While soup is simmering stir in 1 tblspb each of basil,
oregano, but use salt and pepper to your taste.
Allow soup mix to simmer for at least 2 hrs., stirring
often to avoid burning.
