Marcel Dumais

Four years seems so long.
Four years seems so short.
Seems like he's still here.
Relaxing watching tv in his room.

Didn't get to know him well.
Started to get to know him.
Cutting his hair.
Sitting at the table talking.

But now he's gone.
He's not here.
Memories last.
And the photographs will remain.

The loss is great
to grandmother and family
Yet she and we move on.
But we remember, always remember.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

This makes 2 cheesecakes

I just bought a premade graham cracker crust but if you want to make it here it is.

Crust:
1 cup - graham cracker crumbs
3 tbsp - margarine or butter (melted)
2 tbsp - sugar

Pumpkin Filling:
2  packages - 8oz. cream cheese (softened)
1 1/4 cup - sugar
1 can - 15oz pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
3/4 cup - sour cream
2 tsp - vanilla extract
1 tsp - ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp - ground allspice
1/4 tsp - salt
4 large eggs

Directions:
(1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until moistened. With hand press mixture onto bottom of pie plates. Bake crust 10 minutes. Cool completely in pie plate on wire rack.

(2) Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese until smooth; slowly beat in sugar until blended, about 1 minute, scraping bowl often with rubber spatula. With mixer at low speed, beat in pumpkin, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

(3) Pour pumpkin mixture into crust and place the pie in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour enough boiling water into pan to come 1 inch up side of pie plate. Put in oven. Bake cheesecake for 1 hour 10 minutes or until center barely jiggles.

(4) Remove cheesecake from water bath to wire rack. With small knife, loosen cheesecake from side of pie plate to help prevent cracking during cooling. Cool cheesecake completely. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake at least 6 hours or overnight, until well chilled.

Now you can eat it! Enjoy!

Coffee

Oh the aroma is comforting, to this tired body.
Bring the strong black leaded liquid to my lips.
Oh, that is good I say, hot liquid passing my lips .
The little pleasures and blessings God allows us to have.
Oh how I am thankful!

Why Proverbs was written

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel
*for attaining wisdom and discipline;
*for understanding words of insight;
*for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
*doing what is right and just and fair;
*for giving prudence to the simple
*knowledge and discretion to the young
*let the wise listen and add to their learning
*let the discerning get guidance
*for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
Proverbs 1:1-6

Though I've read the book of Proverbs many times, I never noticed these six verses right in the beginning!
And then it gives you a reminder/exhortation before you start reading.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom discipline." Proverbs 1:7
