Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter

Parkersburg WV Homecoming 2010

I just had to go see Grand Funk this evening... well, just because they were here. Was suprised what a good show they put on for quite a large crowd. The weather was perfect and am thrilled we went!

Have been finding so many projects that I want to do on the Internet, that I decided to start a list...right here... For God and everyone to see. Maybe that way, something will get done. Lists are wonderful things, aren't they? You might find something here also!

I'm going to have to make this blog a work in progress.. as there are just sooo many projects!

Proud Tea Partier

Cereal Trail Mix

1 (15 ounce) box cereal-I used Fruit Loops
1 15 ounce) bag mini pretzel twists
1 (1 pound) bag M&M's
1 box raisins
1 can salted peanuts

Mix all together and store in airtight container

Fruit Cobbler

2 cups fresh peaches, sliced, or 1 large can peaches, drained (can use any type fruit you desire-blackberries, blueberries, apples, etc) I used fresh peaches
3/4 cups flour
3/4 cups milk
1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 stick butter or margarine
Pinch of salt

Heat oven to 350. In a bowl, combine the peaches and 3/4 cup sugar; mix well and set aside. Put butter into deep baking dish; set in oven to melt. Combine 1/2-cup sugar with the remaining ingredients except for the peaches, to make the batter. Remove the pan with melted butter from oven. Pour in batter; don't stir. Top with peaches; don't stir, the batter will rise. Bake for 1 hour. Serve warm or cold.

Just Stuff

Wow, is it ever going to cool down? Am so tired of the heat.. or is it the heat and old me cant handle it anymore?

Lucas has arrived at Ft Meade, MD and is looking for a new place to stay, Jason has gone to Morgantown to get settled and ready for school. It is most certainly going to be quiet around here. At least they aren't far away!

I spent the morning canning tomatoes. Tomorrow will dig out the onions and cut the cabbage and make cabbage rolls. The garden is almost done.. Thankfully these guys didn't find it-

This was taken from my kitchen window. There were actually 5 deer, 2 were fawns, 1 a buck. The fawns ran around our field playing till they were tired.. then the buck went to one and started washing it. That surprised me! Have discovered that it is these simple pleasures that amuse most of all these days!
