Recipes for living, loving and laughing:Jo, Elliott, Cloey & Zoey's adventures

This recipe is hugely popular. So much so that I am not sure where it originated so I am giving the credit to Mendez Manor . Ingredients 6 slices of thick bread 5 eggs 2 tablespoons milk (I use 2%) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon butter 1/8 cup powder sugar (optional) Directions Soak each piece of bread in the egg batter and place onto the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes and then flip over and cook the other side. To serve I like to cut each slice into triangles and layer them on a square plate. I always Beat eggs into a medium size bowl. Add milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix together. The cinnamon will clump slightly and that is okay. On the stove, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and coat bottom of a large non-stick skillet. finish it by off by using a sifter to sprinkle a little powder sugar on top. It looks pretty and compliments the cinnamon. This recipe serves 3 - 6 people.

This was written many years ago. I am not going to update it because I think "it is what it is." I hope you find it helpful. My qualifications for writing this: I am a college graduate. I have three children who graduated from college. My husband has been a college professor for well over 20 years. (now 30) The best way to prepare for a college interview is to do well in high school. That does not mean that if you are a C student you will not get into college. It may mean you will not get into a top tier college but you may not want that anyway. ~Get active in or outside your high school. Join the drama club, a team, do volunteer work but realize that too many activities are as bad as none. If your high school doesn't offer a sport you like look at what your town offers. Where you get involved does not matter as long as you are. Having said that college admissions officers wonder how you could do well in high school and have time for so many extra curricula acti...

This was written in 2005. I hope it answers some questions.  My husband and I got married close to 20 years ago. My daughters were almost 3 and a little over 5. They took to him immediately and even told my parents that they liked him and thought he was cute! I was a step mom to his son who had loyalty issues to his own mother and never bonded with me. My girls bonded with my husband in spite of some very difficult times. What they tell us now is they see us as any other family. We had some problems and bad times; but we also had a lot of good times. They do not, much to my surprise, hold him hostage for those bad times. Their biological father was fairly absent. He sent me the requisite very low child support on time and visited them once a week usually. There were many weeks he missed visits or was late. He never knew who their doctor was or dentist. He never brought them to a school event; never saw them play soccer or volleyball claiming he was out of town wor...

This has been a great adventure. We love Georgie, had great visits with family, enjoyed the beach and loved watching the girls have fun. In all we spent 26 nights in campgrounds.  The last day was spent at Jupiter Beach, which is dog-friendly and very nice.  Jupiter Beach There is an upscale "campground" close by, which we would consider going to next year.  Heading home we are supposed to hit rain but no snow. Elliott is nervous about winterizing and of course isn't totally comfortable driving. We decided that we would winterize at a campground in Richmond, Virginia. Yesterday was thankfully uneventful. We stopped at Wal-Mart where Elliott rested and I got groceries. We slept at a Wal-Mart at exit 57 in South Carolina, which was very convenient. Our campground stop was at KampsAmerica, which was actually in Ashland, Virginia not Richmond. This would have been a great place to chill if we had time. We woke up to snow but since ...
