Post #100 and Changes

cemetary

Maybe it’s that I haven’t had sun in my yard since September or a number of other things, but this blog bores me so I am changing it. It just happens to be post #100.
I am busy with my new stores now that wedding season is starting up again and I don’t have time to try and come up with interesting things to say about a very uninteresting life.
So, for a while at least, posts will be random and written mostly for myself.

 

 

Rich and poor have this in common:
The Lord is the Maker of them all.

Ice Fishing With Kids

bob houses

Ice fishing huts, called “bob houses” on New Hampshire’s Gregg Lake. Someone told me they get their name from the way they bob up and down in the water if left out when the ice gives way.

This was the coldest field trip I have even participated in. The wind whipped across the lake and the temp. was in the single digits – not including the wind chill.

Simple Dessert For Kids

I have fallen in love with this “recipe” for easy Cookie Pie. My 12 year old loves it and I love to make it for him because it takes about 5 minutes to throw together – no baking, very little clean up.  Kids could very easily make this by themselves.

I don’t eat it, but he and his friends gobble it down!

Cookie Pie
"Cookie Pie"
    graham cracker crust
    one package of chocolate chip cookies
    one tub of cool whip (I buy the medium size one)
    a little milk

Dip each cookie in milk and make a layer of cookies in the crust.
Plop a layer of cool whip on top.
Repeat with a layer of cookies (dipped in milk) and more cool whip.
Make 3 layers and end with cool whip and crumble a cookie on top.
Put in the fridge – or eat right away.

Yuk… I mean … YUM!

Winter Trees

If I were poetic I would add a great poem here, but I’m not, so I hope you enjoy the photo.

I don’t know what kind of tree this is, but it had little dangly things hanging all over (like that description?) and the snow on it’s branches was so awesome looking. This photo is one of my favorites from my walk.

Winter Trees

Now the trees are bare after our rain and wind – (it’s dumb to rain in winter isn’t it?). I am looking forward to getting another snow storm.
