Hello everyone! Beautiful weather here in the River Valley.
I’ve told y’all a lot of the crazy stuff I’ve done in my life, and there has been plenty for sure. Remember when I told y’all about the time I wore my shirt wrong side out to Walmart, and the man was staring? Well, I went to Poteau to the Balls Outlet store, which I love, and tried on some tops and low and behold, when I put my shirt back on, it was wrong side out and I didn’t know it till I got home. This particular shirt had a big white tag on it. So again, I wear my shirt wrong side out. That explains why this one lady kept staring at me. Lands sake, why don’t I pay attention?
Jacob likes to tell me about all the crazy stuff I’ve done, but let me tell ya, he has done some crazy stuff also. For instance, the time he was telling me when they were at Universal Studios and he says, “there were a lot of Philippians there.” I said “Philippians?” Like in the Book in the Bible? What he meant to say was Filipinos, like my great Uncle Seri Clemente. He was the kindest, nicest man and my Great Aunt was something else. I think I might be a lot like her. Jacob can’t say anything about his momma. We have all said the wrong thing or got a word or two wrong.
One time there was a nice Christian lady, I won’t name her name, y’all would know her. She’s kin to the Weavers. She was giving a little sermon at a church in Greenwood one time and in her sermon, she was talking about how we need to love and nurture new Christians. Well, instead of saying love and nurture, she said “love and neuter” them. Now that’s hilarious. I hope nobody took her to heart when she said that. Oh, the funny things that happen at church!
This week’s recipe is another fall dessert. It’s a no bake pumpkin pie.
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 3/4 oz box of vanilla instant pudding
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 oz. Cool Whip
1 9″ graham cracker pie crust
Mix the pudding and the milk. Add the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice, mix well. Stir in the Cool Whip, pour in the graham cracker crust and keep in the refrigerator. Have a blessed week and remember when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
