Martin Luther King, Jr.
My favorite Martin Luther King Quotes:
“Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.”
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically… Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”
“Man was born into barbarism when killing his fellow man was a normal condition of existence. He became endowed with a conscience. And he has now reached the day when violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating another’s flesh.”
“We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
“If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”
Watching the Twilight Zone Marathon – as usual!


Singing Blue Moon!
Blue Moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, “Please adore me”
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue Moon, now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

What you’ll need:
Choose 3 or 4 paint colors for your ornament. Remove the metal top of the glass ball and set aside for later. Squeeze a moderate amount of paint into the opening of the ornament. Do not dilute with water. Not too much paint at one time. Twirl the ornament around to move the paint around randomly. Don’t cover the entire ornament with one color. Add different colors, continuing to swirl the ball around to make interesting color patterns. Use enough paint until all the clear glass inside is covered. (If you like glitter, put some in before squeezing the paint in. It will show up when the paint dries.) Turn the ball upside down with foil or a Styrofoam tray beneath it to catch the excess paint. Prop the ball ornament up so the opening is not sitting on the foil, but rather is suspended to really let the extra paint drip out. Keep the ball like this for 2 days or until really dry. Once dry, put the metal tip back on. You can hang these ornaments on a tree or from a chandelier with beautiful ribbon. They make great gifts!
The best chocolate cake recipe is Hershey’s Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake. But I have to confess, I do not use Hershey’s cocoa. I use Ghiradelli instead. It’s much better. Also I substitute 1/2 of the milk for Half and Half (Half cream/half milk). You can change the flavor of this easily too. Use creme de menthe instead of vanilla, for a mint cake. Use orange extract with grated orange rind, use amaretto for almond flavor or almond extract and so on. Yum!
Here’s a birthday/Christmas cake I made for our friend, Ben,

Do you send out a Holiday Newsletter every year to friends and family? There’s nothing wrong with doing so – I do it. It beats just getting an ugly card with no photo and no news. The mail is too expensive for that. People want to know what you’ve been up to and they love to see photos, especially of your kids.
