57 and 54...

Today is a unique day.
I am 57 and my brother is NOW 54.

My mother reminds me of these facts...
"You were born in 54 and
Your brother was born in 57."

I remember the year I was 54 and
my son was 27.

Love these cool facts!
Now check out some "Yank" memories.

Thankful for 56 years...


You always liked the "Marlboro Man" against your tree.
So glad that you and I had "brain one" to take this picture.
Remembering memories of long ago Thanksgiving Days.
Love you Pa...

"pinning" treat...


A friend of mine recently introduced me to Pinterest, and I have been spending some time "pinning". It is really enjoyable and can be consuming of your time if you're not careful. Anyway, I made these little treats for Gayle and her family and for our family to have during the Thanksgiving holidays. Super Easy and good!!!

Now gather the following ingredients for this fun, easy treat.

p'nut butter cups, frosting, yellow food coloring,
orange tic tacs, and fudge striped cookies

mix 7 drops of yellow food coloring
to 1 C. frosting

unwrap the p'nut butter cups

lay cookies onto parchment paper with chocolate showing,
dip top part of p'nut butter cup into frosting and
place on top of cookie and press carefully.

take orange tic tac, cooking confetti, or whatever else you can find that is orange, and place on frosting around p'nut butter cup


a small pilgrim hat


Can't turn the blooming thing...sorry!

FALL...Patterson Avenue Memory



Leaves of red and leaves of gold.
Colors of Fall as we see nature unfold.
The raking of paths and making of forts.
Young kids as we were, we rarely played sports.
My days long ago you helped me shape and to mold.
I cling to the memories that my heart doth behold.
