Pray for America

Thursday is the National Day of Prayer.
Thursday May 3, 2012

Blessed is is the Nation whose God is the Lord.

This is a very important time in our history to be praying for the direction of our country and
against those who are seeking to change it. Teach your children the power of prayer and take
time to seek God and ask for forgiveness.

God bless you all! Jennifer aka Gigi

Easter Menu 2012

The eggs have been dyed, the Easter cakes made and decorated, most of the side dishes are done and I roasted a leg of lamb Saturday. (7 hour recipe with onion & carrots) Yum!
We are having our children and spouses and grandchildren over for dinner and then will take dinner to my parents and brother.

I had help dyeing the eggs and making the cake!

We plan to have an Easter Egg hunt with the kids. They are each getting a surprise in their eggs.

I hope you have a blessed Easter as we remember God's great love that was shown as he died for our salvation. It's so great to get a second chance ...His mercies are new every morning! I need them :)

God bless each one of you! Jennifer aka Gigi

"Mad Men" is Back!

Did you know the fifth season of "Mad Men" will start this Sunday night at 9 pm EST on AMC?
Reports are there will be one more season after this one and that we may get a happy ending!
Matt Weiner series creator said, "there is a very clear, very beautiful ending for this story, and I look forward to telling that story and arriving at that ending."
I hope Betty and Don get back together. Do you?
Growing up in the 60s, I love being taken back to that time. My parents were young professionals, an attorney and a housewife & lab technician and I feel like I am reliving my childhood in many ways. My brother in law is a present day Ad Man, minus the philandering!...so I enjoy the story line of advertising and marketing products.
So who is your favorite character?
Mine is Betty Draper.
Her fashion sense and style inspire me.
Let's get out our Martinis and Manhattans ready and toast to "Mad Men".
Set your DVR. Enjoy these great pics all courtesy of Pinterest!

Toast to the 60s!
