What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling?
My son-in-law, André Solioz, is a phenomenal chef. When we travel to Switzerland to be with him, our daughter, and their family, his food is to die for!! The local dish is cheese fondue and it’s wonderful. But his specialty that I love is a pork roast. Oh, he creates it in such a mouth-watering way. You’d love it! But, his dishes all are amazing!

I posted this several years ago on this last day of June. It popped up on my reminders today. I decided it was worth posting again:
“There’s nothing like a tender touch to chase away the blues. You need someone who really cares – BEE the tender toucher!”
I hope you have a tendertoucher in your life!
Have a Tender Tuesday!
Love, JanBee
Celebrate Freedom!
Galatians 5:1
“For freedom in Christ has set us free.
Stand firm, therefore,
and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.
Today is Juneteenth in the USA. It is a holiday that was established in 2021 to celebrate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in Texas. The holiday often is called America’s second Independence Day. The day marks the end of slavery in the United States.
The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on September 12, 1862, formally freed enslaved people. However, this news didn’t reach parts of the country. On June 19, 1865 (nearly three years later) Union General Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas, announcing all enslaved people were free. This was designed to provide absolute equality of personal rights, and rights of property, between former masters and slaves.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if today we could look at our USA and observe that all people in our country are actually free? Free with equality of personal rights?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could witness all people world-wide being treated fairly with equal opportunities for health care, abundance, happiness, and peace?
Limiting and false beliefs about people exist in the hearts of many (outmoded ideas that stunt growth and keep life small and limited for groups in our community). Ask any Black or Native American, Hispanic or Asian person if they think they are treated equally. What do you think most would say?
I long for a world where all people are truly free. Free to truly embrace who they were designed by God to be. I celebrate the freedom that allows all people the right to claim their identity as equal children of God, designed to live and speak and act in ways that truly express their divine talents and abilities.
I celebrate freedom!
Happy Juneteenth, my friends.
Let’s continue to work together
to create a world
where everyone of truly free!
Amen?
Amen!

Oh my goodness! What a ballgame!
The first 3 innings were exciting … but we trailed the Minnesota team 3-4. No scores in the next 5 1/2 innings. Then, one man on, bottom of the 9th, Pittsburgh home run! The stadium erupted!
Wish you could have been there!
Great experience!
And today we went to a beautiful church service in Sewickley, PA with my niece, Jodie. Gotcha in my prayers.
Have a great weekend!
Love, JanBeek (& Jodie)
The gift of hospitality
Cannot be taken for granted
It’s a gift to be treasured
A gift that cannot be measured
and…
Tonight we’re headed to a Pittsburgh baseball game. So, stay tuned! I’ll be back!
Love, JanBeek
