"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little more? (Dr. Seuss from "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas")
Yes presents, decorations, cookies and good food are a wonderful part of Christmas but we must never forget the true meaning of Christmas.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We have had so much rain lately I did not think it was the proper weather for a picnic. The past couple days the sun finally came out. (Thank goodness) Things are drying out and a picnic is in order.
So -- we need a few things:
Some lovely picnic foods would be a great place to start... and a nice location.
Just look at that view!
I do hope no critters show up. They can be so annoying.
Oh my... I am so glad we decided to picnic by the water. Looks like our original spot might have had a visitor!
Hi! I am so glad the weather is beautiful today for our APDG ~ June Picnic Challenge ;-)
My contributions to the picnic are:
MEMORIES, Reminiscing & keeping up family traditions ;-)
IN THE TRADITION OF MY GRAND DADDY I WILL BRING HIS GIANT GALVANIZED TUB (That I still have ;-) FULL OF ASSORTED BOTTLES OF SOFT DRINKS! ;-) He did this for our large family reunion at the LAKE every June! When I was little he would load me and everything in the back of his truck (Early in the morning) and we would go to the Icehouse to get huge blocks of ICE in the tub;-) Then we would go to the Pavilion Early. He would chip the ice up & I would put the drinks in ;-) It was so cold to your hands to pull one out of that ice water at the end of the day! There were always plenty for everyone too, 2 or 3 ;-) And when I got older I always brought a favorite ;-) The punch bowl cake! I would divide the BUTTER cakemix into 3 pans & bake.
Open all cans &
SEPARATE out 10 pretty strawberry Halves for decorative topping ;-)
In the puncbowl layer;
1.) 3/4 can of Strawberry pie filling in the bottom
2.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
3.) CAKE
4.) 1 can of Blueberry pie filling
5.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
6.) CAKE
7.) 1 1/4 cans of Strawberry pie filling
8.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
9.) CAKE
10.) 1 can of Blueberry pie filling
11.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
12.) Strawberries & Chopped Pecans topping ;-P
Enjoy my PICNIC Memories! ;-)

I hope you have many nice ones too ;-)
