#ThankfulActs Challenge: Share or Preserve a Family Recipe


It's hard to think of Thanksgiving without thinking of food.  So many memories are tied up in the Thanksgiving meal, and recipes tend to get passed down from generation to generation.  Certain foods "belong" to certain relatives, and even when those men and women are gone, the food brings back the memories of them.  

 Today's #ThankfulActs challenge is to share or somehow preserve a family recipe.  I'll share my mom's Pumpkin Squares recipe with you.  You could compile a family cookbook, or could preserve family recipes on FamilySearch.  Whatever you decide to do, have fun!

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
