Another year has come and gone. Another tree sits in my entry way, and more presents are under the tree. I can't believe that I have done this 56 times now. Something else that I cannot believe is that while the celebration is about family and love, and decorations, and presents... it is also about me. Christmas is about me. Christ came for me... to save me. Why? I am flawed. I've made mistakes. I am not perfect in any way. Most days I struggle. I am lucky to have a home and income. I love my family. And hope to live to enjoy a long retirement. I'll never be the President of the U.S. I won't be rich. My face will not grace the news. When I do pass, only those closest to me will mourn. Yet, I was precious enough for this tiny babe to come to earth to save. So tonight I celebrate the birth of the Christ child. The child who came to change the world, and to change me. Thank you Jesus. While you celebrated me, I celebrate you. Faith & Fantasy… Unbelievable Stories with an Undeniable Truth! See life differently.

Mission: Mistaken Identity is the first novel from newby author Michelle Janene. It is a fast-paced romantic ride that starts out with a spilled cup of hot chocolate, and ends on a different continent with spies, government agencies, and a few other rogue bad guys thrown in. Kidnapped in the middle of the night, Samantha Wellington's life is turned upside down. People are both shooting at her, and around her. Who can she trust? And why should she? She knows nothing about the man who has taken her, other than his thick Irish accent, and his professions of keeping her safe. How could she be so attracted to someone who is clearly so evil... or is he? Join Michelle and her lively cast of characters on a whirlwind, continent hopping adventure. This book is a nice read, with a touch of romance, a touch of adventure, and a touch of humor. Highly recommended! I give this book the top score: 5 dragons! Available on Amazon.com Faith & Fantasy…

I love the cake part. I do not like candied fruit. (Don't send hate mail. It's a personal preference). I like fresh fruit. I like it all year. You can't buy it all year. The ones you buy are typically dry and have been made months in advance. Yuk! So the answer? Bake my own. My family has a recipe that is called Boiled cake. Or, if you struggle in making it, we have affectionately called it 'that sh*&%^!! boiled cake'. Still, the recipe called for those petrified candied fruits. Again, yuk! So, I altered the recipe. Below is my favorite recipe. It uses raisins, fresh apples, fresh or canned pineapple, maraschino cherries, and optional walnuts. It takes a bit of time to make, but is well worth it. So, moist you will feel like it was fresh baked even days later. Warm it in the microwave and melt some butter over it. Delicious! Give it a try. 2 C raisins 1 chopped apple 2 C sugar 3/4 C shortening 2 C water dash salt Combine above ingredients and boil for 2 minutes. Add: 1 ½ tsp. each of Cinnamon, Allspice, and Nutmeg. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp baking soda. Stir well. Allow to cool. When mixture has completely cooled, add enough flour to make a medium batter (approx. 2 C) Add 2 beaten eggs, 1 C nuts, and any of the following you desire: 1 can chopped pineapple 1 large can Maraschino cherries chopped dried apricots, figs, or dates any other fresh or dried fruit you desire (I stay away from the candied stuff. It hurts my teeth and my tastebuds). Bake in a greased and floured pan at 350 degrees. Loaf pans for 45 minutes, and angel food pans for 1 hr. 15 min. Allow to cool, slice and serve warm with butter, or as is. Thanks Aunt Lola, and mom for handing this down through the years. Enjoy!

One theory is the El Nino storm formation off shore in Mexico is driving them north. Others just say that the ecosystem is righting itself. With the crabs over-populated, they have to die off to keep our system of checks and balances in order. I'm not sure. Read the whole story here:

Here in California, in the middle of our 4 year drought, we had winds high enough to snap trees in two, hot rain the very next day with thunder storms and lightening, and then 103° --- all in the same week. Here we go with El Nino. I think the crabs know more than we do. There has to be an underwater messaging system of some kind triggering the migration.

If you want to be an author, then you have to read. Read, read, read... read everything you can get your hands on, and then read it again.
Great! Who has time for that? I still have a big girl job to do, as well as being a single-mom and single-handedly putting two children through college. When do I have time to read. I have discovered the secret... Audible.com. I can listen while I am at work (for at least part of the day). I can listen while I am driving, or traveling. I can listen while I am folding clothes... walking the dogs... doing dishes... whatever! Try it. I think you'll like it too. And as a special bonus to new subscribers they are offering two free books. Being an Amazon.com affiliate you know they are secure. You can even use the same Amazon login! What could be simpler. Defy the odds. Listen to all your favorite books. Faith & Fantasy… Unbelievable Stories with an Undeniable Truth! See life differently.
