A Bundle of Myrrh

>Happy Birthday Aubri!

July 19th, 2008 by Aubri

Yesterday was my XXst birthday. Our neighbors, the Munderlohs, took us out to eat at the town pub and made me a chocolate cake! Mama sent a package of goodies, including these dark chocolate m&ms! Yum! For supper we had “birthday pizza” at an after rehearsal dinner for a wedding Phil is doing today. I was just happy to not have to cook!

The Munderlohs and their granddaughter Makala came over for the surprise lunch downtown!

This is the card my sweet husband made me.

I’m still creeped out when I look at our faces, but I love my dress! It’s a bit see through, but so glamorous with the “off one shoulder” design! Also note how tall Phil is, at least I think that’s Phil, his head seems a little small and he’s shaved his beard.Life was quite different now than this time last year! I’m really looking forward to the changes this year will bring.

>Slaw.

July 19th, 2008 by Aubri

While I’m waiting for this baby to come I decided to use a head of cabbage the best way I know how, by making my aunt Sylvia’s Cole Slaw, the best I or you will ever have. She sent the “recipe” to me, more a list of ingredients, they don’t really use recipes in the South, and I took the challenge. I will tell you, this slaw was delicious and so so close to hers, I was very proud. This is now a Hale family favorite passed down to generations to come.

>Can she bake a cherry pie?

I guess she can Billy Boy. We were given some cherries just off the tree the other day. I had to use them quickly. A pie sounded pretty good. I didn’t think we’d eat the whole thing, but there’s only one piece left now! I’m pleased with my first cherry pie.
