...."My thunderbird" reminded me of why I shouldn't watch CSI Miami and post.... goodness...I really should proof read this stuff...
.....A belated birthday dinner to hubby tonight since he was working late last Thurs. Pot Roast, potatoes , carrots, and cabbage.... followed with a " cherries in the snow pile pie"...I"ll post the recipe further down...
... We had quite a bumpy morning with toranado watches and warnings... storms and lots and lots of rain.. My heart goes out to our fellow Tarheels who lost their homes to the south of us....even more so to the families who lost loved ones. I am happy to say the sky was a nice blue after the storm passed and I all but literally busted out singing " There's Got to be a Morning After" when I left the grocery store this afternoon.
.....On the craft front.... yep... the Nascar afghan.... BUT... only 9 more rows and the border ( plus all the nasty ends to weave in) and I am done!
...I recieved squares for Shawnee's comfortghan today. One came form a sweetie of a girl in Modesta CA. She is all of 9 years old and wanted to help. Brought tears to my eyes!
.......Dear Santa,
...........for Christmas I would like a Hoosier cabinet
Love,
L
....Seriously, now that the kitchen is getting a major overhaul I do think I "need" one... My great grandparents had one in their house in Waynesburg, Pa. It sat right before the stairs leading to the cellar....Its so funny how much I remember that kitchen...the match holder hanging on the wall ... the plaster of paris fruit with the smiling faces painted on them... the metal drinking glasses.....I would love to redo my kitchen in the same simple stuff.... I wouldn't know where to start....
except with the HOosier cabinet
Oh.... and I have been pouring over a couple of new blogs I'll need to share with you... it amazes me of all the very talented folks in the world... and I can read their creativity on their blogs....One common theme going on lately would be aprons.... handmade aprons, themed aprons, vintage aprons.... When I get done with Jamie's afghan ( if I ever get done with Jamie's afghan)...I must try my hand at a few for the girls and I......as a matter of fact there is a whole flicker group devoted to them called Tie One On.... I really am NOT much of a sewer(is that the word???? I feel like I'm calling myself a waste run off ditch here) but will give it the old college try...
...Now Cherries in the Snow Pile Pie........
My MIL gave me a recipe years ago when she passed the torch ( or pie server) of making this for hubby on his birthday to me...it called for dream whip ( do they still make that stuff) and graham cracker crumbs... melted butter...
I bumped it into the age of convience...its still good...
1 graham cracker crust
1 8 oz softened cream cheese
1 lb confectioners sugar
1 tub of cool whip
...mix the cream cheese, sugar & cool whip together with a mixer until smooth... put into the graham cracker crust.... then top it with a half a can of cherry pie filling ( you can use peaches if you want)
allow to set in fridge for about 4 hours... store in fridge...
Yummy stuff!
...Oh and Ilene... your blog won't let me post a comment!!!!
...So night night... sleep tight... don't let the bed bugs bite......
......
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.....Hebrew 4:13
