Stuck in the car wash

I get in the busy car wash.
There's a line up of cars in front of, and behind me. 
One SUV in front of me and an Audi Q7 behind me.
Suddenly everything stops. 

Here's why ...


The brushes being disentangled


And we're all good to go





Have a good weekend, and don't get stuck in a car wash 

#Gratitude Every good and perfect gift is from above


Every good and perfect gift is from above,
Coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
Who does not change like shifting shadows - James 1:17

Went for an evening walk looking for a coyote

But didn't see any coyotes today


Went early because now it only feels like - 24 º 


                                  With the extreme cold warning, later tonight it will feel like - 37 º      
                      But there might be more chances of seeing the coyote later in the evening!

#StreetFood #KatiRolls Friends, the best thing to do with leftover chicken is ... #cuisine

 ... to stir fry on high heat - onions, garlic, ginger, green chillies and the chicken (all chopped up), along with garam masala and salt


Total cooking time (less than 10 minutes)


You can use this to make your roll


Seriously, on a cold day like this (feels like -22°C), there is nothing tastier than a nice hot Kati roll

#Friendship ❄ Good frosty morning friends (feels like -40° C) ☼



Though it feels like -40° C right now, the cold is nothing compared to the warmth that radiates from handshakes and hugs from my global church community. Stay warm and have a blessed week.
I wish you Peace!

♫ Who remembers the #GRAMMYs of 1984?

Though my favourite musicians are from the '70's, the 26th Annual Grammy Awards were one of my favourites, held in February 1984

Michael Jackson won 8 awards. Album of the year went to Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson for Thriller and song of the year went to The Police (Sting) for Every Breath You Take


I got this cassette tape in 1982


Other favourites were Kiri Te Kanawa, Placido Domingo and the London Philharmonic Orchestra for best opera recording. Giorgio Moroder for best instrumental composition for Love theme from Flash dance, Amy Grant for best gospel performance, female. Ella Fitzgerald for best Jazz vocal performance, female. Irene Cara best pop vocal performance, female - Flashdance and one of my all time favourites, B.B King for Best Traditional Blues Recording.



Enjoy the Grammys tonight!
