This week I will be featuring five days of clarinet music.

I hope you will enjoy. Thank you to my friend Loreen

for sharing this beautiful music with me.

HISTORY OF THE CLARINET

The history of the clarinet has roots in the earliest woodwind

instruments-the instrument we now know as the clarinet

evolved from an earlier single reed instrument. Today's

clarinets dominate the woodwind family, with more than

a dozen different types that range in size and pitch.

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the

morning can give a sense of quiet in a

crowded day - like writing a

poem or saying a prayer. 

~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in

noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in

silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they

move in silence... We need silence to

be able to touch souls. 

~ Mother Teresa

Love begins by taking care

of the closest ones - the ones at home. 

~ Mother Teresa

Quick Skillet Cobbler

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sliced fresh or frozen fruit of your choice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt the butter in a 10 inch cast iron skillet.

Mix dry ingredients with milk. Pour half the melted

butter and the sliced fruit in to the batter and mix.

Pour batter into warm skillet. Bake for 35 minutes or

until golden brown. Good even with strawberries.

Appears gooey in the middle. Serve warm or hot with

a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top

I'm glad I'm funny.

I'm glad I make people happy,

because that's very important.

But most proud to be

known as a kind person ...

because kindness

spreads, and the world is

a little nicer out there.

~ Ellen DeGeneres

I have included the ones from over

the weekend also! ENJOY more crabby!

They will return again

In place of HouseMouse,

I have chosen to share a

variety of things here,

and today I have chosen

a couple of recipe cards to print

and some links for printables.

I have often printed a dozen or so of recipe cards, tied

a ribbon around them and have given as gifts or inserted

in a snail mail card. I would enjoy feed back on anything

I post to see if there is interest in this sort of post. Thank you!
