Text of the page (random words):
really i had the good fortune of knowing my grandfather but my grandmother died young they are buried in the family plot with her parents philo hanford a civil war veteran my mom on the left with her grandfather philo hanford mom and her brothers would also speak of a baby sister that was the first born of my grandparents no one knew her name nor did she have a marker well with more and more records going on line i found her name in the winnebago county records last year fayola parker hanford family plot durand il 2012 i flagged where she is buried and plan on buying a marker for my aunt fayola my paternal grandparents parents and sister in law are buried just up the road maybe a quarter of a mile from the family farm mom worried who would take care of the graves after she is gone brauer family plot winnebago cemetery may 2013 don t worry mom you taught us all well i even brought soap and water to wash down the markers happy decoration day and memorial day to everyone posted by connie aka lou at 8 50 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday may 5 2013 spring has arrived and so have i gosh it has been so long since i have been on here i almost forgot how to compose i have missed it and i have missed all of you today was the open house at distinctive gardens in dixon il gosh i just love this place the creative owners provide a perfect venue for local artists check out this painted car hood this one is not for sale but this one below is i m not sure what i would do with it but think it is so cool lots of goodies inside too this container above used to be an iris bulb box now recycled for potted flowers or herbs and this is a cola box which i m sure i have seen on pinterest and a customer brought this old baby buggy in to be planted this is going to be gorgeous once it starts growing definitely one of my favorite places to visit several times during the season and today they had a jazz band playing in the background a very calming day a day to smile and be grateful i promise not to be gone so long next time and i will also let you know what has been happening this past year but for now this sign tells me to eat or get out i m going up the street to arthur s deli for a bite to eat later people posted by connie aka lou at 12 48 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday april 9 2012 schwan s happy easter all my niece katie and i left saturday afternoon to go to my brother s house in missouri on my last trip my sister in law said she could kick herself for not keeping one of these babies around does anyone remember these back in the day schwan s used to use these 2 1 2 gallon tins to sell their ice cream in fact they only distributed their ice cream out in the country on the farm my mom would get one of these tins every two weeks yes we ate that much we didn t even have to be home the ice cream man would stop automatically put one of these in our chest freezers in the basement and catch up with us later for the money those were the days when nothing was locked not even our house can you believe it mom used to use these cans to fill up her famous peanut brittle at christmas time which was the best i wonder if all the people that were fortunate to receive her care packages knew she kept all of her peanut brittle in these great tin cans i found a couple good looking ones with lids still at the farm so i thought i would surprise my sister in law of course you can t go empty handed so i started making ginger snaps an old family favorite mom had a couple of recipes with different variations but i made the one most of my relatives like best you can see i am using my kitchen aid mixer here but i think i prefer my old mixmaster mixer better yes i said that does that make me a bad person i almost hesitate to say that out load no one speaks bad about the kitchen aid or that they prefer something else over the kitchen aid no one wants to admit they spent too much money on the kitchen aid but i for one think they are overrated just saying i lined the can with wax paper and after two batches of cookies still did not fill the can up but my sister in law was thrilled to get it and she couldn t wait for the cookies to be gone so she could properly display it on one of her top cupboards guess two batches were enough here is the recipe since my husband only got 1 cookie before he left i think i better make a batch for tonight 3 4 c shortening i use crisco 1 c sugar 1 4 c light molasses 1 egg 2 c flour 1 4 teas salt 2 teas soda 1 teas cinnamon 1 teas cloves 1 teas ginger cream shortening sugar add molasses and egg beat well add dry ingredients mix well roll in small balls dip into sugar bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes my oven heats hot so i don t keep them in any longer than 10 minutes we like them softer and just barely baked have a great week linking up with show off your cottage monday posted by connie aka lou at 11 19 am 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday april 2 2012 romancing the plaid it all started with a few presents my husband yes i know this is kenny gave me this beautiful birdhouse to confess his love for me in return i gave him this beautiful sweet eh we chose a night out on the town in this attire when we came home we fought over who was going to wear these so comfortable the next day we planned a family day at the beach and our little rugrat wore this you know the price of gas is outrageous so we decided to conserve and rode this it was a great couple of days and we lived happily ever after romancing the plaid most pictures from pinterest because i don t own plaid seriously but i wanted to fit in and party with all the mad plaiders during the tartan parade so i made this all up seriously please don t be mad at me i just wanted to fit in to see serious plaid check out all the entries and i mean real entries at favorites on the first tartan parade if i did own plaid my first piece would be this i believe it is from old navy have a holy holy week posted by connie aka lou at 9 34 pm 14 comments email this blogthis share to x
