Reunion Time

Last weekend we had a reunion with Bob's family.  He comes from a family of 6 kids and all of them were there. His younger brother has a beautiful property with lots of room to play, woods and walking trails and he hosts this every year. Quite a few of the grandkids weren't able to be there as some live out of state, and several were away for the weekend.  However, we had some special guests - Bob's one remaining uncle and his wife. They are both 88 years old, still live at home and drove 45 minutes to come and join us!

Here's Bob with Laura and his 2 sisters, Karla on the left is 1 year older than Bob, Diane on the right is the baby of the family.

Two of Bob's brothers; Larry is the oldest, Tom is 1 1/2 years younger than Bob.  

Here's the gang all enjoying supper.

After we ate, the kids had fun with sidewalk chalk.

We went hiking in the woods...

Cooking Thursday

We had a family reunion this weekend and one of the things I brought is something I've shared here before. But, it's perfect for this time of year, is easy and everyone always loves it!  So, I'm sharing it again because I know you'll like it too.

Toffee Apple Dip

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 English toffee bits (10 ounces)

*I use Heath brand toffee bits, next to the chocolate chips in my store.  They have them in regular and chocolate covered.  This recipe uses the regular type.

 In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugars and vanilla. Fold in toffee bits.
Serve with apples. Refrigerate any leftovers. Yield: 2 cups.
