I read your email Joy about sharing our summer so far, well here goes. Even though we have no children at home anymore, I do believe that we are busier than ever. I think I can account for this because of our precious children and grandchildren. So far in June we have had the pleasure of attending a nieces wedding in Michigan (my grandson and granddaughter were adorable ringbearer and flower girl)....the next weekend we celebrated Drew and Laurens first birthday, my how time flies. This past weekend we had the joy of witnessing the baptism of our other twins, Hailey and Brynn. In between all the fun family events, we have been busily preparing for the 2009 Cadet Counselors Convention that will be held in West Des Moines next week Thursday - Saturday. We have around 200 adults and kids coming for a wonderful weekend of fellowship, fun and spiritual renewel. Wayne and I are the host/hostess of the event and have been working on this project, along with wonderful couples from Hawkeye council for the past 20 months. I would ask that you pray for safe travel for all those coming from across the US, Canada and even one from Kenya, pray also for the messages that will be brought through speakers, workshops and song.
Now for a easy recipe:
Grape Salad
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz sour cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1tsp vanilla
Stir together well.
4#'s grapes (washed and dried)
Stir this into above mixture. Just before serving sprinkle top with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2-3/4 cup chopped pecans mixture.
Wishing you all a great weekend and summer.
Marilyn
