Scrapbook Memories
Over the years my husband and I have took a lot of razzing over old photos, but, unless they've known us forever, most people don't realize that my husband and I are completely different people today than we were back in the early days. Those who knew us back then know the insane lives that we came out of and lived; those who didn't cannot even imagine.
My husband and I grew up together. Our dads were best friends and we were together a LOT (our dads usually played guitars together four to six nights a week!!!). After failed relationships on both ends, we finally got together as a couple and on Valentine's Day this year John and I will celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. We didn't have a lot of wedding pictures because the man that took them never got them developed, but we did have a few instant prints...not very good ones, but it's all we've got. I decided to take a chance on more razzing and share some of them here.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BABY! Mi tu amore! Forever and a day...

It's That Time Of Year Again
It's a beautiful, sunny day here in southwest Missouri in
mid-January and an annual event that brings tears of joy to my weary
spirit is occurring even as I type this. Amidst trials and tribulations
hope blooms anew and the promise of spring is whispered. My little purple crocuses are blooming once again, and even the honeybees were out!

Old Paths Ladies' Christmas Tea - 12/23/11/Tea-Time Recipes
What a busy week it's been! I've barely had time to catch my breath and oh! How I've missed visiting with you! I thought I'd take a quick minute to share a little bit about our annual Ladies' Christmas Tea that was held this morning. I served Mini Cream Cheese Sandwiches On Rye, Double Orange Scones, Cherry Bonbons (recipes included and I can't believe that I didn't even take one photo of the food!), thin mints, and three kinds of loose-leaf tea...Angel's Dreams, Blueberry Vanilla Cream, and Rhubarb Cream. I shared a devotional based on Isaiah 9:6...
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Not all of our ladies were able to join us, but I think that the ladies that did attend had a good time and I know I did!
Now...for those recipes!
MINI CREAM CHEESE SANDWICHES ON RYE
1/4 cup Miracle Whip
1-8 oz. package cream cheese
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 package (2 1/2 oz.) thinly sliced cooked corned beef, chopped
2 tablespoons grated red onion
3/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound thinly sliced seedless rye bread
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, Miracle Whip, and mustard. Add corned beef, onion, dill, and salt; mix well. Spread 2 tablespoons of filling over half of the bread; top with remaining bread. Makes about 16 sandwiches.
2 cups flour
3 T. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. grated orange peel
1/3 c. margerine
1/2 c. manderine oranges, drained
1/4 c. milk
1 egg
Mix all ingredients together. Flatten dough into a disk in the middle of a cookie sheet. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of sugar over the top and, using a floured knife, cut disk into eighths. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with Orange Butter (recipe below). Make 8 scones.
Orange Butter
1/2 c. margerine
2 T. orange marmalade
Mix together until well blended. Serve on warm scones.
CHERRY BONBONS
Maraschino cherries with stems
Semisweet chocolate chips
Take the cherries out of the jar they come in and put them on paper towels so the liquid can drain off. Then, fill a small deep container (like a coffee cup) with chocolate chips and place in microwave. To melt the chocolate, heat it on high for 20 seconds, stir, then heat again for 20 seconds. Repeat until chocolate is just melted. Then, holding the cherries by their stems, dip them in chocolate. Set the dipped cherries on wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator.
Next it's time to get ready for tonight's Candlelight Service. Have a blessed evening and a wonderful weekend as, together in heart and spirit, we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
All My Love,
