Lasting Light Poetry May 15, 2003
Hello Friends! I know it's been a long while since my last newsletter, but I do hope you will enjoy this one. I have a new offering. It says what I feel is important in this world...perhaps you agree. Have a look at "Living With Love".
Living With Love =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Deja Vu or Maybe New ~ I love the sunsets all year long. They are especially captivating in summer. "Eternity's Door" is the result of letting my imagination fly while enjoying one. I hope you enjoy it as well. ~ I admit I'm a romantic. I think "I Wonder" is a question we all ask when we love someone. I love the painting by Robert Williams. He is a California artist who really captures the magic of the ocean. ~ The beauty of God's creation is unmatched by anything man can create. "Of Thee I Sing" is a tribute to the astounding beauty all around us. This small glimpse into the Heartland of America is captured so beautifully through the lens of Gary D. Tonhouse. Enjoy!

~~ Little Egg and Ham Pies ~ Posted by Beatrice
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil or butter, for lining the muffin tray Methods:
1. Heat the oven to 180C or 350 F. or Gas 4.
2. Lightly oil or butter a 12-hole muffin tray. Line the base and most of the sides of each mould with a slice of ham, then break an egg into the hollow. Drizzle with the cream and scatter with sea salt, pepper and parmesan.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the egg is just set and starting to shrink away from the sides of the tin.
4. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around each mould to loosen the ham and egg and remove to a wire tray. Eat warm or at room temperature.
(I've tried these...and I think they are a lovely breakfast when you want something special..Karen)

Your heart is filled with pain, Pieces of your life fall around you The path you chose so long ago Now your weary feet struggle Temptations lie in wait all around, I will do my best to fill your heart with joy, I am good at catching pieces Let me walk your path beside you, You can lean on me when the weariness comes. I can not fight your battles, I will help you find the courage I can not shorten the journey you must make, But I can fill the emptiness Take my hand, be my friend, Angi Eads
