Halloween

All you excited trick or treaters this is the week you have been waiting for! Happy Halloween! I left for my walk this morning with a cool breeze and came home covered in snow. The Wallsburg witch is going to have to wear goggles.

Dad and I are looking forward to our Halloween party at the Millers tomorrow night. Wish we could all be together! We love you all!

P. S. There has to be more thatn 3/4 c. gram crackers. . . I would put at least 2 3/4 c. I just made a small pie so I didn't try that part.

Peaches

Today was the first day of a new plan. Dad and I would take turns making Sunday Dinner for each other. So today was my turn. I can hardly wait until next Sunday.......? I did make an easy peach dessert. If you still have peaches you might want to give it a try. I think the trick is to have lots of peaches and they have to be ripe and sweet. 3/4 c. gram cracker crust
1 c. sugar
1 cube butter
mix together and put in a cookie sheet

1 8 oz Cream Cheese
1 c. powdered sugar beat together well
Fold in 3 small cool-whips (I used real cream)and put on crust and put in fridge

In heavy pan put 3 c. cold water
Add 4 heaping T. Cornstarch, Stir until clear
Add 1 c. sugar
Add 1 t. Almond flavoring (my favorite part)
1/2 pkg. orange jello or less (I used peach)
Bring to Boil, stir until thick, set aside to cool..
Peel 4 c. fresh sliced peaches and fold into sauce
Add on top of cream, return to fridge till firm, couple of hours
Add a little whipping cream and fresh peach slice before serving

Happy Sunday, Is anyone watching the Baseball Play Off Games?

Vail

Dad and I had such a great time in Vail. All husbands and wives need a little time away from regular life. Dad was kind and wonderful. Everything was beautiful and tasted exquisite. We thought of our family and how much fun it would be to be there together. They are building a hotel that surrounds an ice skating rink. It made me think of the snowy night I went ice skating with the older kids in Salt Lake. That was one of those golden memories I will never forget. If you need to run away with your hubby, I volunteer to man the battle station for you. I love you all this Sunday morning. P.S. I learned how to crop a picture today, it wasn't a toilet or a disposal but it makes me proud.

Vail had flowers everywhere. It was a blessed feast for me.

Jenny turns twelve!

Happy Birthday Darling Jenny!!!! Twelve is such a mile stone in your life. You are really something! I love your gorgeous blue eyes, your pretty straight teeth, your snappy ear rings, and of course my favorite, those dimples. You are growing up to be just like your Mom and she is a gift from Heaven, so learn her ways. The cookies you made all by yourself were fabulous, wish I had one right now. I need your reciepe. I still have hope what we can sneak away with Emme and see the Julia cooking show. Bring on the Monday night Root Beer and let's party with Jenny. In case you didn't know this cute family is now the proud distributors of the famous Idaho Spuds. If you are hungry head for their garage. Jenny I can't wait to see you get baptised. Hope you have a wonderful Saturday with all the fun planned. Grandpa and I love you so. You are perfect in every way. Love always, us.
