Memorial Day Sentiments
Suitable for scrap-booking military pages or a sentiment in a card for a
soldier, friend, or family.
A hero is built within the heart-
Born with courage from the start.
Willing to serve so selflessly,
Standing strong for our liberty!
by Linda La Tourell

Mothers Fight For Us
So many mothers fight for us
So many woman bravely server each day.
Though they have families at home,
They know they must be on their way
To a foreign shore and to places yet unseen
You are a soldier or not-
There's nothing in between.
***
We will remember those we loved
who died to keep us free
On foreign shores they fought for us
from sea to shining sea.
All sentiments are from the book Military Moments by Thena Smith

Dutch Babies
This is a very easy puffy pancake baked in a pie plate in the oven. I thought the name of the recipe was funny so I thought I would try it out. I have been making this for decades now and one of my favorites. Very easy to make and lots of fun for the kids to watch it get puffy and deflate a bit. Great for special occasion breakfast.
Dutch Babies (serves 4)
2 tablespoons of butter or margarine
3 eggs
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Place the butter/margarine in a glass pie plate or a heavy 10 inch skillet.
Place in the oven and let the butter melt.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, hand beat the eggs vigorously add the flour a little bit at a time, then add the milk. Beat till no lumps remain.
When the butter is melted, pour the batter into the pie plate or skillet and bake for 20 minutes.
Let it rest for 5 minutes then cut into wedges.
Serve with maple syrup, table syrup, fruit syrup, jams, or powdered confectioner's sugar.

25th Wedding Anniversary Sampler
I made this for my parents. They got it on their 40th though. I did not know how to cross stitch at their 25th, only by their 40th. My Mom loved it.
I made a few to sell also. I really liked the design, however, I do not recall where I got it (Gloria and Pat maybe?).
I resized this picture for the blog entry and it did not come out well,
so if you wish, here is the link to the larger scan. It is a bit clearer..
