CONGRATULATIONS MISTY AND QUENTIN!!

And thank you for our new gorgeous great-granddaughter, Jasmine Amyah born Thursday, 3/6. She is a beautiful additional link in our large family chain which we are so thankful for. We are so blessed to have a large and loving family. Thank you again. Bill and I can't wait to hold her in our arms!!!

Yesterday I was absent from our little blog because I was under the weather again. Sorry. Today I am going to put in a delicious brunch punch.

COFFEE

ICED MOCHA BRUNCH PUNCH

8 cups strong brewed coffee

2 tsps unsweetened cocoa powder

4 tbsp brown sugar

3 cups skim milk

Combine all ingredients in blender and process briefly. Chill and serve over crushed ice.

Makes 10 servings.

Today the weather here is pretty bad so I am not going out unless I have to. The wind is blowing awfully hard so that means a lot of tree branches and pine cones are going to be everywhere when it's all over. So we will have some cleaning up to do after church tomorrow, I am sure.

My brother, Andy, is coming to visit for awhile in a couple of weeks and I can't wait. He is coming so he can spend time with our mother and I will be so glad to have him here. Bill really enjoys him, too.

Now I am going to get off of here and see if I can get my new pda up to speed. Have a great day and stay safe and warm. Enjoy your weekend and tell your loved ones that you love them!!

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.
