Vintage Memorial Day Postcards

I absolutely love vintage postcards - got that from my Mom! Since I had quite a few pinned to my Holidays ~ Patriotic Board I thought I would share some of my favorites.


























Thanks to The Graphics Fairy and Magic Moonlight for their vintage clip art and all the other bloggers out there who have shared these images.

Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with your family and loved ones. Thank you to all who served!

The World's Easiest Dessert - Delicious Dump Cake

Do you love easy & delicious desserts? Especially Cobbler? Then we predict this will become a favorite for you! Only 5 ingredients and incredibly quick and easy.  My Mother-In-Law, Brenda, made this for us in January of 2008 and she found it in a Hints from Heloise column in the newspaper.  Leigh's Dad doesn't much care for it which only means there is more for me!!!!

5 Ingredient Recipe, Easy Dessert


Ingredients-

1 - 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup
1 - 21 ounce can of cherry pie filling
1- 2 layer yellow cake mix
1- cup pecans chopped
1 - stick margarine or butter

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan. Spread pineapple with syrup, evenly in the pan.  Spoon pie filling evenly over pineapple.  Sprinkle cake mix over the fruit. Sprinkle chopped nuts over top of cake. Cut butter into thin slices and place on top of nuts.  Bake 50 min or until golden.  Serve warm.


That's all there is to it! Just 5 ingredients and it is soooooo good! Especially warm out of the oven with a scoop of Bluebell's Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream! YUM!

Tomorrow night is our last Bell Choir rehearsal (until fall) at church. I'm taking this for everyone to try.  Hope they don't mind that a piece is missing! Had to post it on the blog.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Happy Mother's Day

To all the beautiful women in our lives - Happy Mother's Day! 

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.  ~Washington Irving


When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.  A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.  ~Sophia Loren


























If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer 
has not already been.  ~Robert Brault



No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love.  It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star.  ~Edwin Hubbell Chapin


Perhaps we are given a mom that we might take into death the memory of a lullaby. 
  ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com



There's a story behind everything..but behind all your stories is always your
 mother's story..because hers is where yours begins.”
― Mitch Albom, For One More Day 


Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had, and dealing with fears
 you didn't know existed.  ~Linda Wooten





All that we are or hope to be can be traced back to these women. We love you all strive every day to become more like you. Thank you for teaching us what it truly means to be a Mother.
