JUST SIMPLE SOMETHINGS

~ Over the teacup...

One day a mother was explaining to her young son that you should never tell a lie. She told him that God saw everything and heard everything.

She explained, "Even though your father and I may not know if you are telling a lie God will know."

The young son replied, "But will He tell?"

****************

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement --not even her parent's nasty divorce. Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother- of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new young wife had bought the exact same dress! Jennifer asked her to exchange it, but she refused. Absolutely not, I look like a million bucks in this dress and I'm wearing it, she replied.
Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, “Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.”
A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, “Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it.
Her mother just smiled and replied, 'Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.'

NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO WOULDN'T ENJOY THIS STORY?

Hope all of you have a GREAT day....

~ Cherry squares ~

I have absolutely no luck with electric mixers.

Seems like I no sooner buy one, and it goes up in smoke !

Recently I found an old-fashioned egg beater

that's heavy duty stainless steel for $1.00.

Yes, that's one dollar.

I used it today to make Cherry squares.

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
21 ounces cherry pie filling (lemon, pineapple etc. can be used)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll pan or a deep cookie sheet.

Cream butter, gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Gradually add flour, beating well. Stir in flavorings. Pour the batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Lightly cut through the batter with a small knife to mark off 18 to 24 squares (your choice).

Spoon about 1 tablespoon pie filling in center of each square.

Bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned on edges. (the batter will puff up around filling while baking).

Cool cake in pan 10 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.

I like to use this shaker from Pampered Chef.
Cut into squares, and remove from pan.

Yields 18 to 24 servings.

My co-workers are always asking when I'm going to bake again. When they see me coming with a container, they start to circle...then they dive in...and within 10 minutes...
