I made an impossible pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving today, which turned out really well. This impossible cheeseburger pie looks REALLY good too. I don't really even have very many leftovers, so I won't have to look for recipes for that. One day of sandwhiches is about all that is left...

It was a good Thanksgiving, the best one I've had since before my dad got sick. My 18 year old son came over, and my roommate's grandchildren, along with my daughter, of course. My ex even had a plate of food when he came to pick her up for his visit. It was a good day.


Thank you Lord...

Comfort Doll Project

Comfort Doll Project
Click on the link above to be brought to a project that collects handmade dolls, less than 6" long, to be sent to women's shelters. The founder had never heard of any similar project for battered women's shelters, and there has been a good response. A small piece of beauty and comfort for a woman who has more than likely lost much, if not everything.

Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary

Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary

I just found this site on someone else's blog. They take care of disabled animals on a large Montana ranch. I was just talking to a very close friend of mine about animals today. She was explaining about being very black and white about how animals in general and pets in particular should be treated. I am glad there are people like my friend, and the people who run this and other animal sanctuaries, who are black and white, and outspoken about how animals should be treated....animals can't speak for themselves, and sometimes it's easier to forget about them amid all the other problems we have.

I especially like her reply when someone at work told her "there had to be a line somewhere" when referring to the amount of money one would spend on a pet .... "Why?"

Fran's Life Goes On...the rename

I decided to rename my blog. I don't know who I am blogging to...it doesn't really matter. I want to be known for what I create in life, and my divorce is only a very small part of that. My divorce will end, since it cannot live past my own life. There are more important things in my life, like my children, who will live on past my divorce, and hopefully both live long and productive lives. If they both live to be 100, they will have to outlive me....I doubt I will make it to 135, which is how old I would have to live to outlive them both living to be 100!

So, my life DOES go on....in spite of my own dire predictions that it would not go on if my marraige ended. The only thing my marraige is still alive in is legality. He hasn't lived here for 2-1/2 years, and is not contributing financially to our well being. I am happier than I had been with him for many years. I can only expect my happiness to increase as time goes on.

Time really does heal. I experienced many losses in a short period of time, and I hurt so bad I couldn't imagine healing, and yet I am healing. The main thing I can say about that is healing takes time, and time takes time. It just can't be rushed, or ignored. When I tried to do either of those things in the past, it only postponed the time needed, it didn't shorten it. Like not letting a wound heal properly, the partially knitted skin will rip open easily, then taking even longer to heal, potentially leaving a bigger scar. Or maybe you only let the surface heal and an abscess develops beneath. Perhaps that is what has happened to people who seem very bitter.
