All the dreams that have come and gone;
All the memories that will live on and on.
High School days we though would last forever;
All the time we thought we'd be together.
Time seemed to slip by and then go away;
Now it's graduation day.
So many times we laughed and we shared;
So many times we said I love you and I care.
The happiness, the sadness, and the fights galore;
All these things were wrapped into one and more.
Time seemed to slip by and then go away;
Now it's graduation day.
So many times wondering if we'll remember what we've learned;
The credits, the honors, and the scholarships we've earned.
The trips, the sneak days, cutting a class;
For all these years we thought they'd never pass.
Time seemed to slip by, and then go away;
Now it's graduation day.
And so my friends, I want to dedicate this to you;
For the good times and the sad, yes there's been a few of those too.
The tears streak down my face, the memories to stay;
Because now my friends, it's graduation day.

Sometimes life is tough and in this time of economic turmoil, life can seem to reach the boiling point
Sometimes life is tough (well a lot of times)! And in this time of economic turmoil, life can seem to reach the boiling point where the temperature is so hot you are tired of being in the oven.
That's when you need a helping hand, not just a hand out. There are helpful places that can give you just such a hand.
One such website is a government website that gives you confidential information for little known grants to people who need that helping hand up.
It's: http://www.govbenefits.gov/govbenefits_en.portal
This is just one of many places that can help you, your family or a friend get the much needed economic help they may need. In addition to this website, don't forget about the Federal Energy Assistance programs available.
That website is: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ocs/liheap/consumer_info/index.html#at
The most important thing I want to say today, is that it's about time we stop being a "Me" society and begin getting back to basics and becoming a "We" society. One that helps our neighbors, helps our family and helps our friends with a helping hand up instead of just a helping hand out. Blessings! Jaci

California Veggie Soup with a Twist
By Jaci Rae author of 5 Meals for $5 check it out at Amazon.com, pennymeals.com or any Border Store
*Cost per cup: $0.275
Approx calories per cup: 118
Approx. fat per cup: 2.2 grams
Approx carbs per cup: 22.8
2 lbs potatoes, diced ($0.80)
1 lb. carrots, diced ($0.50)
3 stalks celery, chopped ($0.08)
1 cup peas ($0.80)
1 cup corn ($0.56)
1 cup broccoli ($0.64)
1 onion, finely chopped ($0.30)
1 clove of garlic, minced ($0.0043)
10 cups water
1 chicken or beef bullion cube ($0.16)
1 avocado, blended until smooth ($1.00)
1 lime, juiced and zested ($0.09)
Salt and pepper to taste ($0.02)
Saut̩ onion, garlic and celery until tender. Combine with all ingredients except avocado and lime into a large pot and cook for 25 Р30 minutes on medium heat or until veggies are desired tenderness. Blend avocado and lime until smooth then add zest. Serve in bowls with a dollop of avocado mixture and chilled water.
To freeze, cool the California Veggie Soup and put into freezing container based on serving size desired. Put the date either on masking tape or if using a resalable freezer bag, onto the freezer bag and store in freezer. Remove as you desire to eat the soup and thaw, reheat. While you can freeze the avocado mixture, it’s usually best when fresh.
Are your kid’s veggie picky? I always blend the veggies until they are creamy when dealing with children that don’t like veggies. Put the creamy mixture into the soup with the potatoes and skip the avocado and you’ve got a wonderful Hidden Veggie Potato Soup that your picky children will LOVE!
