Not Enough Noise?

A little humor for the day! Kyle came into our room during a wind storm the other night and said, "Mom, it was real loud outside and all of the sudden it got really quiet! I could hear the wind chimes and then they quit!" I thought Wayne was still sleeping, but all of the sudden he sits up and says, "If you want NOISE, just come listen to your Mom sleeping and you'll have all the noise you want!!!!" He then lays down and is asleep again! I'm finally getting over the bug now and I think I'm sleeping quieter--hopefully!

Soda Cracker Pie

We were going through some old recipes tonight that were from Wayne's Grandma. He came across one called Soda Cracker Pie. He and the boys made it and it turned out pretty interesting. It has a meringue mixed in with it and it turned out almost cake like inside with the meringue on the top and bottom. I'll add the recipe--It's pretty simple.

Soda Cracker Pie
11 soda crackers rolled fine
1/2 c. nuts chopped fine
1 tsp. Baking Power
Mix together
(1st mixture)
3 egg whites stiffly beaten
1 c. sugar - beat into egg whites as meringue
1 tsp. vanilla
(2nd mixture)
Combine two mixtures. Turn into greased pan and bake for 1 hour at 275.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Here...And There

I took Wayne to the airport today--my fifth trip there in one week! He was counting up 13 landings and take off in the last week. He flew to AL last Monday--only to find out another machine was down--in Mexico. The only problem was, his passport was here at home! To send it would add another couple of days before he could leave for Mexico so he came home to get it! He arrived home at 1a.m. and I took him back to the airport at 7a.m. The bad part for him was that he had a sinus cold. Landings were pretty miserable. This last time he got home on Saturday night and left this morning. We enjoyed having him home for the one day!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

What a fun weekend that went WAY TOO FAST!!! We loved having everyone here! Hopefully they won't wait another 18 years to come see us--but after their fun trip home on icy roads they may not come in the winter!
