Sarah's Bridal Shower

My niece, Sarah, is getting married on October 5th!

She came for a visit with her grandma.  So, her sister, Lyndie, her Mom, Lisa, and I discovered that it would be the perfect occasion to have a bridal shower.  We filled the afternoon with food, family, games, and gifts.

 The bride-to-be, Sarah.

 Sarah means "Princess".

Sarah made this doll when she was 7 years old.

  If you look closely, you can see her doll looks like her.

Food

Yummy food, recipes to follow.

Family Cookbook

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.  I Cor. 10:31

We all brought a recipe to share with Sarah, and made her a cookbook.

I'm sure she will enjoy "trying them out" on Matt.

Pictured are Uncle Keith & Aunt Ethyl writing their recipes.

Keith passed down his "Super Dooper Meatloaf" recipe.

I quote from Keith, "Feed this to Matt whenever you want him to do something for you
or before buying large-ticket items such as furniture.
Guaranteed to work to get it your way!"

Happy Birthday to Lyndie!

Lyndie celebrated her 25th birthday...with lots of gifts and blessings for another year!

We aren't sure who got more presents, Lyndie or the bride-to-be.

 Scoop out pulp with a small spoon or melon baller, and discard pulp.

 Place tomatoes, cut side down, on paper towels, and let drain 15 minutes.
