HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAMISHA!!!!!

Today is my oldest granddaughter's birthday. I love you, honey.

THE ORIGINAL BANANA DAIQUIRI RECIPE

1 jigger dark rum

1 jigger light rum

splash of triple sec

1 oz. coco lopez

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 large ripe banana

Pour into blender with one cup crushed ice. Blend for 60 seconds. Garnish with grated bittersweet chocolate.

This weekend there was a middle school basketball tournament held at several middle schools in our town. The Knights that Bill belongs to helped to run the events. He volunteered to be a manager at one of the schools and he recruited my brother, Ricky, and one of the Knights, Ernst, to help him. He did not know all that it entailed and was really overwhelming for him. When I read the list of duties and things he was responsible for to Chris yesterday, we were worried for him. This morning Chris called me and we decided to go over and see if we could help out. We helped a bit, but, they really were okay. We could tell, though, that it was rough on Bill. When Ricky brought him home he was exhausted. I am so glad that Ricky was with him, though.

My nephew, Stevie, and his girlfriend came last Saturday to visit and are going back to Pittsburgh tomorrow. We have really enjoyed having him here and will hate to see him leave. It's been nice having him here in the house.

Tomorrow will be my first time to church in 3 weeks and I will be glad to go. So I am going to bed to get some rest since I had to get up with Bill at 5:30 this morning. Have a good night!

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
