Christmas Apples

 Yummy!

In my opinion, the ONLY way to eat a 

Granny Smith apple!

 

All you need:

Pre-cut Granny Smith apples (or cut them yourself)

Pack of Cherry or Strawberry Jello

Place them into a sealed plastic bag and shake!

Open and enjoy!

Politics, Presidents and Apple Pie

Just a Reminder to Get out and VOTE!

One early morning, I was barely awake, but Little Mister was already in play mode. I was stumbling around in the kitchen when I headr a conversation going on in the dining room. "Now you share with your buddy". "Alright". "Can I have some more please?" "Sure buddy. Thanks for asking!" etc...
I peeked around the corner to see he was innocently playing with some animals. It was I who was struck with the particular animals he had chosen!
How ironic!

I'm sure Little Mister has no interest in the Presidential election, however, we checked out some books and talked about this important job. Of course, we didn't have any issue debate. We kept it simple. He lives in the White House in Washington D.C. He makes very important decisions for the USA.

 

 So You Want to be President? By Judith St. George

This was amusing using information from all the presidents up until Clinton. There are fun facts and lots of humorous, trivia information such as:

presidents pets, dining habits, family trees, etc...

 The President and Mom's Apple Pie by Michael Garland

Little Mister loved this because of the train at the beginning. President Taft is coming to town and gets of whiff of a wonderful aroma. He follows his nose to find ... yep, mom's apple pie!

 Oh yeah, it was GOOD!

Please remember to VOTE

Happy Belated Birthday Johnny

A birthday bash for Simple Saturday. 

Sorry we're late Johnny Appleseed!

Sept 26, 1774 - Mar 11, 1845

Johnny Appleseed was a real person.  His real name was John Chapman and his real story is actually nearly as interesting as the legends that have since developed.John Chapman made a quite successful business out of traveling around and planting apple orchards wherever he thought pioneers were going to settle in-mass a few years after he planted an orchard.  He’d find a new area that was largely unpopulated; buy up land for cheap; then establish an orchard. Once he established the orchard (including fencing it in and the like), he’d travel on to a new area and do the same.  Over the course of the year, he’d then travel around visiting each of his orchards and maintaining them as needed, as well as gathering seeds to plant new orchards.
