Hi all...thank you for all of the prayers for mom....She had a small heart attack and spent Monday and Tuesday in ambulances going to the E.R. at Sacred Heart.She fell during the heart attack  (actually fell both days...) and tore the maniscus in her knee.  She also has a broken wrist....She already had congestive heart failure and emphysema....She is quite a fighter...  I think she is doing better as she was able to come home Friday night.  She is having people coming in from "Visiting Nurses Assn" to help her because she is not able to have surgery.  She is also on heart meds and has nitro...Her spirits are really good and she really enjoyed the visits, the calls and the flowers.....I hope all of us offspring have as much strength as the aunts and uncles and grandparents of this family when it comes to illness.  The faith is a great big part of it, too.Hope this finds all of you doing well..

April Trip

I am planning on visiting the area in late April of this year.  I was interested in maybe stopping by and meeting some of the family.  I was wondering who may be available, and if you could give me some contact information to be able to arrange something.  I understand that everyone is busy and I am definately not asking for a shin-dig,  but would be nice to stop in for a cup of coffee.

Prayers please

Thelma's young grandson, Grant, has been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. His doctors don't know yet if he was treated in time to prevent serious heart complications. His family ask that we pray for him. Leslie

1940 Mikesell Reunion photo

I have a few questions about this photo. As I read the identifications, there are a couple missing names. Who is the lady to the left of Charles Mikesell in the front row? I know the June Aller and Sherry Mikesell are the two little girls in front. Also, who is Dell Bressler? I don't have him in my tree.

Thanks to Darlene

Darlene, I hope you see this big  thank you  for the photos you sent to me. Everyone looks so good. I tried to e-mail you & then Gerri but they came back. Have you changed your e-mail address? If so e-mail me with your new one. Looks like Bryan & Ruth had a beautiful celebration. Seems like yesterday when we went to your 25th. It's was good to see the photos of the family get-together.

 

Your house must have looked very festive with all the outdoor Christmas decorations. We only had our large star on the barn lit for Christmas. It can be seen from the hiway a mile away & some of the neighbors reminded us to plug it in. Better late than never. We didn't get our Christmas lights up on our fence & the large blow-up Snowman family stayed in the box. I hope we can get in the Christmas spirit earlier this year.

 

My thank you e-mail went on to complain about the sub-freezing weather we were having but that is long gone so I've got nothing to complain about anymore. I envy you your roofers. A lot of our roofing on the house & out buildings has "gone with the wind" last year. Boyd's busy with the pump business & I am still trying to keep my brain working by adding to our family's genealogy. Best wishes, Leslie

Kitty Litter Cake

Kitty Litter Cake

 

This is *no joke* 

 

READ THE INGREDIENTS AND STUFF FIRST AND THEN LOOK AT THE
PHOTO... 

TRUST ME... 

DON'T  LOOK AT THE PHOTO FIRST, BUT LAST... 

 

This is for all you cooks out there looking for something a
little different......... 

 

WANT TO HAVE FUN AT A PARTY? PREPARE THIS RECIPE! COMPLETELY
EDIBLE, 
BUT 
YOUR FRIENDS MAY NOT THINK SO! 

 

On a recent visit to our veterinarian to get shots for our cat
I  found this recipe on the waiting room bulletin board. After
recovering from hysterical laughter, I obtain ed a copy from the office staff
so that my wife could make it, which she refused to do. I took it to work
and gave the recipe to a lady at work who loves cats. The pictures
below show the results of her work. It doesn't look very nice, but it's
actually quite tasty, so I decided to pass it along.

CAKE INGREDIENTS: 
1 box spice or German chocolate cake mix 
1 box of white cake mix 
1 package e white sandwich cookies 
1 large package vanilla instant pudding mix 
A few drops green food coloring 
12 small Tootsie Rolls or equivalent

SERVING "DISHES AND UTENSILS" 
1 NEW cat-litter box 
1 NEW cat-litter box liner 
1 NEW pooper scooper

1) Prepare and bake cake mixes, according to directions, in
any size pan. Prepare pudding and chill. Crumble cookies in small
batches in blender or food processor. Add a few drops of green food
coloring to 1 cup of cookie crumbs. Mix with a fork or shake in a jar. Set
aside.

2) When cakes are at room temperature, crumble them into a
large bowl. Toss with half of the remaining cookie crumbs and enough
pudding to make the mixture moist but not soggy. Place liner in litter box and
pour in mixture.

3) Unwrap 3 Tootsie Rolls and heat in a microwave until soft
and pliable. Shape the blunt ends into slightly curved point s. Repeat with three
more rolls. Bury the rolls decoratively in the cake mixture.
Sprinkle remaining white cookie crumbs over the mixture, then scatter
the green crumbs lightly over top.

 

4) Heat 5 more Tootsie Rolls until almost melted. Scrape them
on top of the cake and sprinkle with crumbs from the litter box. Heat
the remaining Tootsie Roll until pliable an d hang it over the
edge of the box. Place box on a sheet of newspaper and serve with
scooper.

 

Enjoy!
