Apples, cooler temperatures, leaves changing color, corn mazes, cider mills, warm donuts, fires, pumpkins, farmers markets, Fall festivals, Chili cook -offs, De-cluttering, etc. etc. What a wonderful time fall is!
The big news of the week around town was that the actor Sean Penn was up in the Bad Axe area filming a movie 'This Must Be the Place.' Now I have to admit I don't know much about his movies, but from all the chatter about, it seems like he has played in some good roles... See picture gallery here: MOVIE
If that wasn't enough, after they all get done, another movie crew will be coming to town to film 'Real Steel' that supposedly will be Starring Hugh Jackman and Evangeline Lilly and the Executive producer is Steven Spielberg.
Well anytime they need a break, they are always welcomed to the Ol' general store here for a glazed donut & an Orange Crush...
Of course all that excitement can't top the balloons and party favors that flowed around town here 'bout 2 weeks ago when ol' Lydia celebrated her 99th birthday. Here tell that there was over 60 friends, family attending and the birthday cake was as big as Paul Bunyan's blue ox, Babe...
Then again even that might have been topped by all the police and fire squads rushing to the local senior center where it was reported a HOT,HOT bridge game was taking place and apparently was so hot that the sprinkler system went off. Never knew that the kindly ladies down at the senior center still had a bit of rowdiness in their bonnets after all these years, lol
Noticed this piece of notepaper with 2 recipes on it tacked to the community board here from that wonderful Amish lady Mrs. Byler down the way, always thinking of others, she is;
SNACK CAKE MIX -
12 CUPS FLOUR
1/3 CUP BAKING POWDER
8 CUPS SUGAR
3 CUPS SHORTENING
4 TEASPOONS SALT
combine dry ingredients; cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Store in airtight container in a cool, dry place.
APPLE CAKE -
1 MEDIUM TO LARGE APPLE
2 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR
1/4 TEASPOON OF CINNAMON
2 CUPS OF ABOVE SNACK CAKE MIX
1/3 CUP MILK
2 TEASPOONS OF LEMON JUICE
1/4 TEASPOON OF NUTMEG
1 EGG
Toss apple with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix cake mix, egg and milk. Put into 8 inch pan. Press apple slices into batter. Drizzle any remaining sugar mixture over apples. Bake at 350ยบ till done. MY NOTE: (by done I am thinking she means about 30 minutes)
Well, got to run, but here's a poem to remind all of the main pursuit of Live - Simple -
Lord, Let me take time to see the flowers, that grow beside the dusty road.
Let me take time to lend a helping hand, to lighten someone's weary load.
Let me take time to hear the sounds, of happy children at their play.
Let me take time to visit friends, family who might be lonely today but most of all, let me take time for quiet hours, alone with Thee...
You all take care and I'll be seeing you, Knobby
