42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever
wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or
softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a
week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different
color twist tie.
They are:

Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red Friday = White Saturday = Yellow.
So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with
the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy
fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Don't forget Gatorade for Migraine Headaches. PowerAde won't work.
Interesting huh?


So...the weekend is in sight!
I'm excited for several reasons....sleeping past 5:45 is one of them!
The next would be that Bug is taking me to a fancy birthday dinner! We get to get all dressed up! Oooh darlin' and this place we're going to??? Magnificent!! So that's good stuff.

This morning I've got my cranky pants on and I'm desperately looking for a wardrobe change...I came in to work and flipped my calendars....
and this is what they said:

"When I nail my hypersandals in a quiet place and lean in to hear His voice and then respond accordingly, I often receive cheer and comfort." ~ Patsy Clairmont, Under His Wings
You believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you re receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9 NIV

and the other...

Psalm 104: 1-5 Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.

Interesting how that works, huh?
