Rememberence of Those Goods Days With Friends Over Coffee
Many a good day was spent with friends over coffee and cake. Just like the Golden Girls we had our cheesecake moments too. There were stories of ALL kinds.It all started in Germany, I was born in a little house on the Freudenberg Hills. The war had been over for several years and people were settling in to a time of new growth, and prosperity. As an Army Brat we traveled a lot but, I was never as Happy as I was in that little old house. It was a short bus ride or an adventurous walk to the River Rhine, where we would stroll along the tree lined colonnade amongst the ducks, and swans the smell of spring flowers perfuming the mid day air. We would pause for a late lunch at outdoor cafes and watch as people leisurely sailed their boats down the river. On late afternoons we would enjoy the coffee houses, were we would enjoy coffee and the most sumptuous cakes and pastries. On hot summer days I would enjoy my favorite lemon ice cream. Even today if I think on it I can still taste the tart, sweet flavor.This little bog is to be dedicated to just that. Coffee, Conversation and Sumptuous cake recipes. So I hope you will all join me, and share your stories of days gone by, and recipes old or new, shared by some one today or passed down from generation to generation. Love to you All, Micki
Be back Soon
As many of you know my sister Janette has been very ill with Leukemia. This Tuesday afternoon she passed away and went to join our Lord and Savior. It is with great sadness that I must say goodbye for a few weeks. Janette loved a great coffee or tea party. She had the gift of gab and enjoyed great conversation. She was an avid pet lover and advocate for the prevention of cruelty to animals. She had been a pet groomer for more than 40 years. She loved to play bingo, and she and our mother avidly enjoyed each others company while also enjoying their favorite pass time. They had there little lucky charms with them while they played.
We shared some great fun in our younger days, and spent many a weekend dancing away. She made me laugh. During those younger days Janette was a member of a band and sang what most said sounded just like Patsy Cline. She often sang Patsy's songs and could bring tears to your eyes. Janette had many talents but none more than the gift of loving children. She had one daughter and two grandchildren, and loved her niece Oriana who she often took care of during her infancy. She loved the others as well and could never give enough.
She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She will be missed by me more than words can say..
