Scones........yummy!!!!

This last weekend I had some of my kids & grand kids come up to our house and spend the weekend so whenever there’s a sleep over at grandma’s



I always try to have something good for breakfast; so this is what we made.
Scones they are so easy to make and I don’t know anyone that don’t love them……

Scones:

In large bowl add items in order; mix well set aside while oil is getting hot.

2 ½ cup hot water

3 Tlb Shortening

¼ cup Sugar

2 Tbl Yeast

½ cup Powder milk

6 ½ to 7 cup Flour

We topped ours with honey, powdered sugar, or jam enjoy……;o)

Extra Yarn…….

I do a lot of crocheting and I always have little balls of yarn that just hang around and after a while I sometimes give it away. But this time it came in use…….

A couple of weeks ago I ran a cross these cute little jars that was only cost .50 so I've been trying to think of something to do with them; this is what I came up with, nothing fancy, just cute and simple.

My new favorite color…….:o}

I have had a hard time in deciding what color to paint our fire place mantel. With a lot of thinking about it this is what it ended up….I think green is my new favorite color…

Before

I think green is my new favorite color…

After

Little table make over…..

I have this little table that I believe my dad made my mom just after they were married in late 1959. My mom had given it to me when I got married so we could put our TV on it. It's been around forever I have never had the heart to give it away.

As you all may know we have been remodeling our house so that calls for new and fun things to decorate; I have been painting a lot of stuff with red so the other day my girls said I needed more color so they helped me pick out a green…I so love it, I painted the table and then I antiqued it.……

I think it will be staying around a while longer. I loved how it turned out ……;o)

Katie’s Birthday on Saturday the 12th

WOW!!!! I can’t believe it was 30 years ago I gave birth to my oldest daughter Katie. She is the oldest of our 4 girls. She was such a beautiful baby with a ton of really dark hair.

When she was little she loved spending time with her family and to this day she is the one that keeps our family together. She plans vacations, camping, and girl's weekends. If it wasn't for her we would never get together!

All of her sisters know that they can always count on her and call her anytime to chat. She is not only my daughter she is one of my best friends. I think it’s because I had you at such a young age that we grew up together. I so love it when we get together and the first thing we do is plan on getting everyone together and what is going to be on the menu. :)

Katie’s been married to Shane for the last 10 years, she has helped him make a wonderful home in Vegas with their cute little boy Braydon. She is so amazing. Jim and I are so proud of her. She is such a wonderful wife and mom. They are wonderful parents, and have been patiently waiting to add to their family.

We just wanted to let her know that she is such a wonderful daughter, wife, sister, and mother. We love you! :)
