Hi Susan...I'll make you all of the biscuits that you can eat if you come to my
house. There were five children in my family....all girls. I don't remember
not having enough biscuits, but am sure that there were times. I remember one
time when my Mom was making some chip beef gravy to go over our mashed potatoes
and the lid came off of the pepper and she cried as that was what we had for
supper that night, so we all scooped off as much of the pepper that we could
get, ate it and drank a lot of water. It was sad then, but funny now. I'm
sure we ate burnt biscuits too.
I wish you the best Christmas ever and a wonderful New Year ahead of us. You
are correct....we all have to be thankful for every breath we take as we are so
fortunate to have these medications, even though it causes other problems.
Being here is what matters.
You and everyone on here take care and I'll hope to hear how your holiday went
and if you made any New Years resolutions. Mine is to stop eating so many
cookies and stay as healthy as I can.....
Hugs from the Cookie Monster,
Millie

Dear Marty and Millie and all the blood brothers and sisters,
You two delight me with your sweet way of sharing and uplifting everyone. I
want a burned biscuit, you make it look so palatable! I have been teased for
years about hiding the biscuits in my lap on one Saturday morning when seven
hungry mouths were eating breakfast together. I was about seven years old at
that time. With our big family it was sometimes hard to get a full tummy.
Another wish here for everyone to have the most wonderful Christmas and
holiday season ever. I urge you all to enjoy the journey, even if it's tough.
I realize and sympathize with all of your different and serious struggles.
Waking up in the morning is something to be really thankful for. Also I wish
for you as many biscuits as you would like for breakfast!
18's,
Susan

Subject: [CMLHope] Burnt Biscuits
When I was a kid, my Grandma liked to make breakfast food for dinner
every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made
breakfast after a long, hard day. On that evening so long ago, she had placed
a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my Granddad.
I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!
Yet all my Granddad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Grandma
and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that
night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly
burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing... never made a face nor
uttered a word about it!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my
Grandma apologize to my Granddad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never
forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then."
Later that night, I went to kiss Grandaddy good night and I asked him
if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,
"Your Grandma put in a hard day of work today and she's real tired. And
besides - a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!"
As I've grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full
of imperfect things and imperfect people. I'm not the best at anything, and I
forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I've
learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults, and
choosing to celebrate each other's differences, is one of the most important
keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
And that's my prayer for you today... that you will learn to take the
good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life. Because in the end, a burnt
biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is
the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or
friendship!
So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine.
And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life. Be
kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
18's,
Marty
