For you that don't know this, behind the curtains is our bed platform for guest. We made our own wall bed. Put a shelf across from bookcases so we could put up these pictures. This started everything.



Next one in this series. Notice more pictures put up since Golda's graduation.



This is one of a series. Pictures in my guest room, computor, work and sewing room.



This is my front door. See our golf sign someone really great made for us. I have decorated my flower pot for fall and halloween. I put lights around the pots and in the jack-o-lanterns. Took picture at night and looks like they are on fire. Will not post those.

Here is a really easy one lemon bars. 1 box angel food cake mix used dry (1 step only cake mixes - these can be hard to find somtimes) 1 can lemon pie filling. Mix together and Pour into a greased and floured jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 -30 minutes. Frost with powered sugar or cream cheese frosting. Always preheat your oven for all receipes.
You can try the other cake recipes using different cake mixes and pie fillings. Also, you can use 2 cake mixes and put into a jelly roll pan for bar cakes. I have used 2 white of yellow cake mixes with 1 cup peanut butter and baked in a jelly roll pan iced with powered sugar icing that I added a little of peanut butter with it. Use your imagine. Love You all.

Here is another easy cake to make. Much like the other one, I have had this receipe for many years. I use a dark chocolate cake mix dry, 2 large eggs, 1 can cherry pie filling. Mix together and pour into a greased jelly rool pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Icing:
1 1/2 cup sugar, 6 Tablespoons butter, 6 Tablespoon milk. In sauce pan boil for one minute only. Remove from heat and add 1 cup chocolate chips. Whipping cream or cool whip is good for both of these cakes or use canned icing.

Here is the cake I told Melissa about Sunday. Your mother and Lester was here for dinner, we get to have them pretty often. She ate two pieces before going home. This is rare for her. As she does not eat very much. But she ate really good yesterday. I love her. 1 pkg German chocolate cake mix. The one a got had pudding in it and worked fine. Use the cake mix dry and mix in 3 large eggs then add 1 can apple pie filling and mix well. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 -50 minutes. Since your mother like it so much I figured it was really good. They said so too. I sure
Thank You pie filling because it is a good one, but I think a less expensive brand might be easier to mix. I will try one next time. I tried this on Brenda and Lester because I wanted to take it to church some time if it was good. So I will.

There is a great apple and pumkin pie receipe in Melissa's cook book on page 34. Here is one of my favorite apple pies because it is so easy.

Impossible French apple pie

3 cups apples peeled, sliced, and cored, 1/2 cup Bisquick, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon butter softened, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 eggs

Bake 350 degrees. Grease 1o inch pie plate. Make topping first. Then put apples in pie plate. If you have a blender or food processor mix the other ingredients in it for about one minute. If not mix in a bowl until blended. Pour over apples. Sprinkle topping over mixture. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool pie or cool until just warm.

Topping: 1/2 cup Bisquick (I have used Jiffy baking mix too -- it cost less) 1/4 cup chopped nuts, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons firm butter. Mix Bisquick, nuts and brown sugar. Cut in butter with a fork, knives or pastry blender ( these are great) until crumbly.

Substitute 2 cans 16 0z sliced peaches, well drained or 3 cups fresh peaches.

Hi! To all of you that I love so much! First Golda, Great on the job. I think you should like doing this kind of work. It will probably get more interesting as you do other things. At least you are getting to travel and see friends. Melissa, Great on your Algegra class. Will other classes be over as short a time? Well I have been working on the walls of pictures a lot lately. Have covered a little more than half way down the walls. Got a lot of frames at Dollar Tree got some 16 x 20 poster frames and bought four of them to make collages and used a lot of Papa's frames that had all of his profressional engineering licenses from all the states he had them in. He has only licenses in Kansas, Ohio and Florida now. He likes his job at Lowe's. He is in the plumbing department. He works three days a week between 4 - 8 hours depending on how busy there are. Right now he is working only 4 hours most days. Betsy what ate you up to now, did you go back to your job? Have you gotten Casey's holloween custom yet? Allie how are you doing? Hope I will do this more? Love to all of you and miss you so much.
