IT'S A TUESDAY THANG

Well, I think I need to make myself a cup of coffee.  I want to look like Betty after her cup of Java.  The afternoon cup sure does perk ya up a bit that is for sure.   We have alot of yard sales this weekend comming up so I have been  checking them out on craigslist.  The hubby is on his way home from Indiana so I am sure he will be eager to go as well. 
Just wanted to say hello for today.  See ya later gators.

SUNDAY BLESSINGS

As I sit alone today I feel and think of so many things that has happened to me in my lifetime.   One being, my Mother.  I never gave her the credit she was due as being my mom.  She chose me, as you see, I was adopted and raised by two wonderful people.   I look back and think, I was chosen, she did not have to take me, but she did.  I was brought up in a christian home and I thank God that she chose me to be raised in this kind of home.  Every Sunday we would go to church, me all dressed up in my Sunday best and my Mom with her Bible.  I would not take one second away from this as today, I can  look back and see how wonderful I really had it.  I now have 3 children of my own, if I could go back, I know that I would do things different.  I did take them to church but as they got older and went their own way, they did not attend church as I wish they had.
I do know they have God in their hearts and I want to say, I love my Children with all my heart and soul.  Thank you God for allowing me to have great kiddos.  Take care of them and lead them into the right path.

Now, sit back and listen to this wonderful song

I want to thank you for taking the time to look my blog over.  I really enjoy posting on it and seems like it lets me release stress.  Maybe I should tell you my real stress probolems, lol
You have a wonderful day my friends.

FRIDAY GREETINGS

Yip-eeeee, Wait, why am I saying yip-eeeee. I am retired so everyday could be a Friday for me.  Sometimes that is a good thing, other times I wish I was able to be back at work.  I worked as a Pharmacy Tech for years.  I loved my job and being able to help people.  Today,  I am just being lazy and thinking of taking a nap.  Now, if I were working, I coud not do that.   Right?
Have a great day.

IT'S ANOTHER DAY

I thought I needed to write a few words on my blog as I haven't been doing much of anything lately.  I have been down alot and just have the I don't want tos.  did I say that right?  Lol  today a week ago I had to have my Trixie, our dog put to sleep as she was very sick.  We had her for almost 16 years.  Still missing her alot. 
Wishing you a good day and be back on soon.

SO MANY MEMORIES

I woke up this morning thinking of my parents and back when I was a wee thing.  Growning up in the country, remembering milking cows, planting the garden, sitting under the big oak tree shelling peas for the afternoon dinner.  I often think of how I wish the children today could have the experience of those good days.   I went to a little country school, Harold Elementary which went to the 8th grade.  Our class rooms was divided with one grade on the left and another on the right.  while the teacher would teach the one side we would be doing work that she or he had assigned us.  Recess would come and  we would either be playing sports or running around.  My goodness, those were the days for sure.
I also can say that I never one time heard a unkind work from my parents to each other.  Today, all you seemd to hear is yelling and cursing and such a unhappy world.  I do hope that 2013 will hold a better life for each and everyone. 
Until later, enjoy your day, stay warm and most of all be happy.

ITS A YUMMIE CHRISTMAS

Baked S'mores



Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (approximately 5 full graham crackers)
1 tsp baking powder
2 or 3 super-sized (5 oz.) chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (or mini marshmallows if you must!)


Directions


Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom of pan.

In a large bowl or stand mixer, 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.

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. Two 5 oz. Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly [for 8 by 8] side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer. [use 3 Hershey's for 12 by 8 pan]

Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.

Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the creme. This is most easily done by putting the second half of the dough in a gallon size freezer bag. Use your palms or rolling pin to flatten it out, and then use scissors to cut down both long sides of the bag, so it will open up book-style. Open it up carefully, and the dough will stick on one side of the bag. Then place the bag, dough side down, on the other three layers. From there peel the bag up and carefully spread the dough where it is uneven.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely or almost completely for the melty factor before cutting into bars.

 

Be sure to remember me when and if you decide to bake this.   Wow, makes my tummy roll.  Have a Wonderful day.
