It does boggle the mind. I was so interested in how you searched for European cities and found Belgium. How interesting.<br /><br />Thank you for the many sweetest comments about our coming anniversary. I feel like my poor friends have repeatedly been exposed to our big day. HA! I am sure there will be at least one more post about the actual party. This has been going on since our cruise. We am so excited about it all. Last night I finally finished making over 400 mints to have for the party. These mints are individually made by pressing the powdered sugar, creamed cheese, food coloring and mint flavoring mixture in to a single mold. It took me two evenings in a row, three hours each evening. A labor of love because they taste so good. Have you ever made them? My family have made these mints for all big occasions in our family such as; Weddings, showers, etc.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week Rachel. I am on a sort of blog break.<br /><br />Love, Jeanne<br /><br />jeanne, backyard neighborhttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-15361252423057619732013-04-11T18:57:23.736-04:002013-04-11T18:57:23.736-04:00Love this song dear Rachel!

Although I always thought of the Methodists as being the fun group - I don't know why! We had plenty of fun - GAs, Training Union.<br /><br />This is great - thanks for visiting.

HOT summers - I remember being glad that my grandmother's Presbyterians didn't get up and down as much as us Episcopalians, because I was always stuck to the pew with sweat! And VBS Kool-Aid is the same the world over, I think.

I can just hear the choir at the Baptist Church singing all SIX verses of <i>Just As I Am</i>, while waiting for the ushers to collect the offering.<br /><br />I will never cease to be amazed at the pictures worthy of a Norman Rockwell calendar that you can paint with <i>words</i>.Southern Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451320470435065945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-67933452654428732542013-03-25T11:56:19.282-04:002013-03-25T11:56:19.282-04:00Good morning Rachel, I love your church stories th...Good morning Rachel, I love your church stories this fine snowy day. Yep, we are getting dumped on. I guess we are grounded. It is supposed to snow for 24 hours. Probably tapering off to flurries. Right now we can't see our mountains. Pretty but I am ready for spring.<br /><br />Your stories brought back such memories of our church days of old. We were raised in a Baptist church with Bible School and good old fashioned revivals under a tent. That was when we moved to Florida. I was nine. In later years after marriage we joined a Methodist church with our five children because it was in our neighborhood. We belong to a Methodist church now where we love the people and our minister. There were some in between churches because we moved about every five years because of Bill's job but all in Fl. Our church families were so important in our lives.<br /><br />I enjoyed the way you described the sights and smells of life in your church. Potluck dinners, Bible school in more than one church is what we did too. Oh how I loved Bible school. Our children did too. The blessings from those activities were so meaningful weren't they? I must say the old Methodist churches were all so beautiful with lots of stained glass and wood paneling. <br /><br />Thank you for bringing me some awesome memories this morning. Thank you for your sweet comments as well.<br />May the blessings of the Easter season give you hope and inspiration and most of all renewed faith. Easter's story has a way of really bringing us closer to our Lord in a wonderful way.<br />Blessings and love to you and yours,<br />Jeanne<br />jeanne, backyard neighborhttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-66627807198255883372013-03-22T21:08:47.566-04:002013-03-22T21:08:47.566-04:00LOVED it!
