My Hands Have Turned Orange

But that is because I have been "gutting" pumpkins. The snow is falling outside, and I am cooking pumpkins! The best part about this is that I get to roast pumpkin seeds. I love 'em!

Here are a couple of sites with VITAL pumpkin/squash information:)

Happy Roasting!

Baptist Holy Days (Tongue-In-Cheek)

I came across this post this morning and definitely knew that I had to share it. Since the author's wife is Catholic, iMonk came up with a list of "Baptist Holy Days" for those of us with Holy Days' envy:)

A partial list of Baptist Holy Days, quoted from The Internet Monk...

"* Opening night/day of high school/college football season. (Depends on proximity of school, relationships to players, etc. Should include tailgating if possible.)
* Any church potluck or meal.
* Homecomings at any church you’ve ever attended, even once, within 300 miles.
* Any Sunday that starts a revival (or any Sunday that begins a 40 Days of Purpose if your church dumped revivals.)
* Any wedding of anyone in your family within 250 miles.
* Any funeral of anyone in your family within 70 miles.
* Christmas and Easter.
* Any church softball game against another Baptist church.
* Any church business meeting where there’s a chance of a big fight or someone getting fired.
* Any Billy Graham Crusade within 1000 miles."
