Kraft Fantasy Fudge

This recipe was on the back of the jar of Kraft Marshmallow Crème.  I used to make it every Christmas. It was delicious and very easy.

 

Visit from "Pete the Cat" author

Eric Litwin, author of "Pete the Cat" visited my great nephews school today. George said, "It was so much fun." He loved his signed copy of "I Love My White Shoes.

Kraft Caramel Ad

This is a Kraft Caramel ad from 1978. I remember making caramel apples one Halloween with my mother.
Thanks Mama for such sweet memories.

Woodstock and Pumpkin

I love seeing children when they are coloring.  This picture from my great nephew is going on the refrigerator.

Halloween Cookie Cutters

I love vintage cookie cutters, even though I rarely make cut out cookies anymore.  They remind me of  all the wonderful times spent in the kitchen with my mother.

A Night At The Fair

Cars are bumper to bumper as we slowly inch into the parking lot.  The excitement builds as we walk toward the entrance.  The first thing we see is the ferris wheel high in the sky with lights flashing.

Happy squeals fill the air as we stand in lines waiting to ride.

 

 

 

We walk through the agriculture exhibit.   Daddy loved seeing the cows and pigs.  This picture is for you Daddy.

 

 

 

The smells of the onions cooking, the cotton candy spinning, the  peanuts boiling, and the funnel cakes frying all mix together.  Mama always wanted the funnel cake.  This picture is for you Mama.

 

 

 

We hear the game hawkers yelling "Win a big prize!"  Toss a ring over the bowl.  Throw a dart at

the balloon.  Shoot the water to fill the tube.  If you're a child, pick up a duck and win a prize.  Lee loved the games and sometimes would win.  This picture is for you Lee.

 

 

 

The fair is a place for making new memories and remembering old ones.   

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Carving The Pumpkin

This Norman Rockwell print always evokes memories of family to me.  The pipe reminds me of my father.  I can almost smell the Prince Albert tobacco wafting up.  It makes me want to gather the kids now and carve a pumpkin.

Sunday on the Porch

It's a lazy day rocking on the front porch blowing bubbles with a five year old.  Popping them brings squeals of laughter. 
We watch the butterflies and bees flying around the flowers and investigate the hairy orange caterpillar.
What a wonderful day!
