Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

Sugar and Spice and everything nice...that includes home-made apple pie!!!


The picture of this beautiful and tasty home-made apple pie was made by my sweet and talented daughter. The apples she used were actually picked by her. Later I will post her secret recipe for pie crust. Something to smack about. You'll be a changed person after you taste this crust and you'll be glad you tried it.












Beloved, do you remember that catchy little Nursery Rhyme: Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of?


Little girls can be sweet indeed...in personality! Being the Momma and having a daughter grow up into adulthood has been a LIFE LESSON for me. One I cherish. Life changing.


Having sons has been eye opening as well.
Having daughter-in-laws has grown our family and our hearts.


Being a Grandma is an added blessing.
Life can be so sweet.


Thank GOD for FAMILY, apples, sugar, spices, flour, ovens, utilities, kitchens, pie plates and daughters willing to bake pies!


Here's to sugar and spice and everything nice that blesses our homes. These help make a pleasant haven.

Psalm 17:7-9
7. Show thy marvellous loving kindness,
O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8. Keep me as the apple of the eye,
hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9. From the wicked that oppress me,
from my deadly enemies,
who compass me about.

Maybe you could sweet talk Simple Beauty into making
another one soon! I think there is one more bag of apple slices in the freezer.

Makes me hungry just looking at it!

Dear L.H.,
Thank you! It was very yummy.
Sweet to the last bite. Wish there had been more.

Well,

Artist maybe there will be an apple pie again soon! It was really easy to make with the filling being frozen apples I had cleaned, pilled, cut and placed in gallon freezer bags with about half a cup of sugar and cinnamon. Then when I made the pie I added a little bit more sugar and spice and a bit of fresh lemon juice. You have to make sure you press the apples down so that way your filling is really full!! mmmmmmm..... Maybe I will make one for the church picnic and one for home in June...

Much love Marmie... Your blog is looking grand!!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
