The Life of Mrs. Miles

Yesterday, Stephanie allowed me to publish her layout on my blog. I asked her if she had any element suggestions she might like to see created, and she asked me if I could possibly make ‘writing in sand’ or some writing OF sand – so I decided to experiment and managed to make the latter. I hope you enjoy it! I love hearing your suggestions and ideas – and as you can see, sometimes it pays off to let me know!

Whew! It’s been a blur lately. I’ve been on a totally creative streak and have been trying to ‘capture it on (digi) paper’ before this phase is over. I’ve got a big poster to design and In-Laws coming for a 10 day visit, so you ladies all know how this changes the picture. A ton of preperations – I’m even sorting out a few cupboards and closets, as they need to be done anyways.

Tilin' Smile!

I’ve had opportunity to catch up to my good friend Becky – it has been three weeks since we had a coffee, and she’s looking so radiant and her belly is sweeeeeeeeeeelling! We had a whip-creamy coffee and caught up on our lives.

Miles and I won't have to eat for another week, as we were invited to dinner last night at our dear friends Italia and John’s for some good Italian food. She laid on a banquet that would be the rival of any 5 star restaurant. Thank you for having us over Italia and John – next time, our place!

SO yummy -
fresh tomatoe sauce,
Italia's secret, low fat 'crepe' noodles & veal parmesan with eggplant
italian sausage and fresh asparagus!

Succulent papaya wrapped with prosciutti,
blueberry stuffed crepes
topped with chocolate sauce and
Italia's 'fake' whip cream made with blended pears and cashews.

Here are some random thoughts and scriptures I’d like to share with you:

Sorrow is a fruit:

God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.

- Victor Hugo

Set your troubled heart at rest. Trust in God always, trust also in me. There are many dwelling places in my Father’s house; if it were not so I would have told you; for I am going there on purpose to prepare a place for you.

- John 14:1-2

There’s always a burst of sunshine,

After a shower of rain,

There’s always a time of happiness

After a time of pain;

May the guardian angel watch you

With vigil not in vain,

For the great outdoors is waiting

To welcome you again.

I thought the following two websites were of interest:

Tech Crunch has an intersting article on a new technology called DimP, which is Direct Manipulation Video. It basically is the concept you could move parts of a video by using your mouse. Check it HERE.

This second one, perhaps could earn you some income. I hear of so many talented people out there (Valinda, I think of your daughter Cristy right away!) through this site! If you have a talent or something to teach you will want to check this out:

Make money teaching people. Really. Sclipo allows all users to share their knowledge - but this time with a monetary twist. For example, viewers are able to tip the author of a video via Paypal, and you can teach personal classes - live - to people anywhere on the globe via webcam, and charge for it. Just click HERE.
