Snow day 2014

Image
Hey y'all, I hope everyone is warm and cozy today. We got a foot of snow here in Franklin that is not usual at all for us. A few inches and melts the next day if we see snow at all in winter. All my Yankee and Mid west friends will laugh when I tell you, the Governor declared a state of emergency. HA! The area is covered with between 6 to 13 inches and we are shut down around here! Personally I love it. Did I ever show y'all my new ink? I do not think I did. Here are my snowflakes... I had them done as a memorial for my grandfathers(the blue one) my grandmothers(the purple) and my sister is in pink. My front yard The backyard and my car. The front yard to the street. No one had been down the street this morning, and we are a main road to town. So we are  staying in and unpacking a few more boxes. getting sorted and organized. I think I am gonna roast a chicken for supper...mm mm have a good day. X's & Os Jenny

Hey Yall! IT IS SNoWING AGAIN here in the south east! I LOVE IT! So what does one do on a cold wintery night? Make a gooey dessert of course! This is the recipe I have in the book Red Velvet Cupcake Murder by Joanne Fluke . My character Nurse Jenny gives this recipe to Delores the mother of the main character Hannah and I also help solve  a murder   Yes I know I am a nerd but this still tickles me to no end! It is actually according to my Memes cookbook my Great  Grandma Colvilles recipe for Easy Fruit Pie. ** I cut the recipe in half for just the two of us. Start by setting the oven at 425 and melt 1/2 stick of butter  in a dish of your choice. The bigger the dish the thinner it will be and the faster it will cook. I use a 9 inch ceramic pie plate. 1 cup self rising flour (all purpose is fine, it just makes it more dense) 1 cup sugar stir together with a wire whisk add 1 cup milk (canned or from the jug either works) 1 tsp. vanilla mix it al

...So this year...

Hey y'all. How are you today? I hope everyone is warm, cozy, and happy today. I am not a new year resolution type of gal. However there are things that I want to do or change. One of them are friendships. I want to be a better friend. I want to be more kind to the friends I have and I want to stay in touch more. So to kick off the year I just put a few letters in the mailbox. I love writing letters. I wish there was a way to make a living doing it. I get such a good feeling writing a few lines on paper and sending them along. I hope to write a few every month. Not a major change but one I want to make. X's&O's Jenny
