GINGERBREAD LIGHTHOUSE
Best. Gingerbread. House. Ever!!!!!!
A small electric candle hangs upside down to illuminate the caramelized window panes of the lamp room. A candy kiss provides an improvised cone to top the lighthouse.
The rugged appearance is part of the fun, especially when surrounded by lobsters and sharks. Not that we have sharks in real life … I prefer to see them as porpoises.
While I’ve never gotten wrapped up in my wife’s fascination with gingerbread houses, my contrarian nature has embraced the idea of making an annual gingerbread LIGHT house, and here’s one result .
For the recipe and the templates, especially if you want to go for fancier results, check out this story, recipe, and assembly directions. (It’s not the only gingerbread lighthouse at Coastal Living, by the way, in case you’re really adventurous.)
The model was based on the Whaleback Light just downriver from us, so I feel it’s an…

Thought of the day! December 19, 2014
Music has saved my life, and art, and literature — the human soul needs soul FOOD!!!
I will keep it short today with a Taylor Swift quote.
People haven’t always been there for me but music always has.
One thing that can always sooth us even when completely alone is music. I still hope people will find a way to be there more then they are now.

dreams & wishes & the plain truth, a poem
Dreams & Wishes & the Plain Truth
(originally published in Eclectica)
The man you dreamed up
was like an animal, a confused,
restless animal that didn’t know
what it was. From one angle,
it looked graceful. Other times,
it bobbled and bumped in the night
like a blind cow. It had to be fed, and often.
You never knew what it would fancy–
sometimes plain mash, once in a while
something with a burnt sugar crust,
and lots of whipped cream. It made noise
constantly. Whistling, burring, keening,
but never in the same way twice.
You found yourself wishing
it would run away of its own accord–
since it was so unusual no one would take it
off your hands. It would look at you
out of eyes so swollen and pale
you’d think it was dying,
then it would kick back its head
and bray and bray, music…

Wise Willy … on Love – Promote Yourself
“If you love and get hurt, love more.
If you love more and hurt more, love even more.
If you love even more and get hurt even more, love some more
until it hurts no more …”
Harder to write and to read than prose, but poetry
expresses far more elegantly, passionately
and emotively than one may ever, hopefully,
aspire to … prosaically.
A form of written expression … so seemingly … like lyrical hymn,
has been … historically … so seemingly … favored by Him.
To wit, the superlative verse of the great poets, amongst them,
Ovid, Emily, Robert … and the immortal … William.
Shakespeare’s reputation, amongst thoughtful (wo)men
is amongst … the best … of the west.
It is complemented by the east’s, Khalil Gibran;
between them; amongst the best … of the best.
And so it has been that inspired by…

Teach Us (Throwback Tuesday)
Please….
Teach us to be gentle instead of always anger,
Teach us to be humbled and learn not to be bitter,
Teach us to care and value sanctity of marriage,
Teach us to carry each other to the days of old age.
Teach us to decide and think as one body,
Teach us to treat the marriage as holy.
Teach us to raise our kids by Your words,
Teach us to believe that Your words are double-edged swords.
Teach us to not be blinded by love to our children,
That we may lead them to God’s forsaken den.
Teach us to believe You and leave our worries,
Teach us to be stronger despite of life’s difficulties,
Teach us to walk on Your path
Teach us to avoid your wrath
It’s been a year since I composed this poem with the help of WP friend named Fiona, I haven’t visited her blog for…
