Birthday Party at the Lake

Caught this cutie's reaction as we sang "Happy Birthday" to him during his party Saturday at Lake Ray Roberts.  It was a fun party with all the things he wanted---including cupcakes and cousins. (His mom made those great cupcakes!)

Yes, it was his party, but shhhhh...............



don't tell Glory!

Have a great weekend. I hope you get to do just what you want to also!

Smores Bars

If you have never made these, I suggest you go to the store right now and buy the stuff!! If you have made them, I've probably just thrown another cravin' on ya! They are so yummy. I made them for last night's bible study. Oh my goodness.....



1/2 cup butter, soft
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized Hershey's milk chocolate bars
1 small jar marshmallow cream

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.

3. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluffy stuff. I made balls as if I was making cookies and flattened with a rolling pin and my hands then arranged them on top.

4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Quilts are home!

The little lady that I take some of my quilt tops to called me yesterday. She had finished the quilts that I pieced recently. Here you go. I am so proud of both of them.




I always enjoy visiting with this special little lady. Yesterday, she showed Marilyn and I a closet where she has over 70 quilt tops ready to be quilted. She has made hundreds of quilts. Some have been sold, some raffled for community projects, and some given to family members. The house is full of them. She is an amazing quilter by the way. I really need to get her an Etsy shop!

I Got My Angel

Rick was my angel yesterday (remember my last post on "National Be An Angel Day?").


Although we might not have had such BIG smiles, we cleaned house together after church yesterday. I had really needed some help catching up! So...... Thank you, Rick! Love you!
