From Mom and Dads Wedding Album

 Mom and Dad were Married October 23, 1955. My Mother died recently, (Feb. 3rd 2013), my Father has been gone for almost 21 years. I miss them both dearly. I really enjoy having these wonderful pictures of them. William Charles of Beverly MA was their photographer.

Home Baking Through A Snow Storm

I had the day off due to a very large SNOW STORM today. (well our first big storm this winter) So I found myself in the mood to bake! Above are Lemon Cup Cakes with Lemon Frosting, Biscuits made from scratch, which  don't usually come out very well. I tried a new recipe, just two ingredients! They look a little funky because I used some fun cookie cutter shapes to cut them out. Then I made a casserole with left over chicken, carrots, potatoes, gravy, and stuffing. All of it tasted wonderful. The only issue is that I made to much!

Lisa and I had a Great time at the Fair. We spent a lot of time in the Children's Entrepreneurial Tent. Where young people display a large variety of Jewelry, goodies, sewn items, and more! We drank a lot of Hot coffee, Chai, and Hot Cider. Ate some yummy food, and had pie cones on the way out of the Fair. The Eco Kids Tent is a place for the children to paint and draw with all natural products. (I added their link)
