my mom has the most delicious recipe for taffy apple dip. here it is...
1 8 oz cream cheese
1/4 C dark brown sugar
3/4 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla
mix well
I did and had plenty of my favorite apples, gala, on hand. only there was one problem.
the apples are too big for my apple slicer.
they won't fit through the slicer.
onto plan B.

the lizard king
I grew up being blessed having both of my parents work for the airlines. I was privledged to be able to travel to places, countries most kids don't. I am proud to say I have been to Mexico, France and England. I have seen the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa and The David. I have stood and watched the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and seen the Crown Jewels with my own eyes. I have seen London Bridge in real life and not only in a story book. I have been to the Palace of Versailles and walked through the Hall of Mirrors.
And I have seen Jim Morrison's grave.
I have been to Pere LaChaise Cemetery in France.

me, black and white
so I must admit. I did not take this photograph. but my Dad did....I thank my Dad for my love of photography. you can read about him here. I am about 8 or so in this photograph. the jewelry and headband came straight out of the halloween box. I grew up in a house where every halloween, "the box" came out. it was full of great things to dress up. some of the things were old, like the black Dracula cape. my great uncle's friend made it. and yup, I have the cape. always have since I moved out and always will. I have a box for my kids, too. it comes out early October and then it goes away the first week of November.
traditions, aren't they great?
