Camping and S'mores

Every Labor Day weekend, we go camping at Wallowa Lake
State Park in Oregon.  I don't know about you, but I love camping
and, of course, if you go camping you must enjoy s'mores.
It's the best part : )

I found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade graham
crackers so I thought I would give it a try.

You start out with flour, brown sugar, baking soda 
and salt (I forgot to get a picture of that)

And then you add honey, milk, vanilla
and butter to the mixture...


It starts to look crumbly like the picture below...


Here is the honey and milk mixture before I added
it to the rest of the dough....


I love my stand mixer :)  It makes baking so easy...


Here is a picture of the dough once it all starts
to come together.... 



Now for the fun part, you get to roll out the dough
like you would if you were making sugar cookies...


I use a square cookie cutter so they are all the same
shape.  No guess work on trying to get them even 
that way.


You want to poke holes in them with a fork or 
toothpick so they look like real graham crackers...


Here is a picture of the finished product (sprinkled with
cinnamon sugar).  I made some plain and some
I added the cinnamon sugar to them.


Now you are all ready to add your marshmallows and 
chocolate and enjoy a s'more :)

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

New blog

This was a challenge trying to get this blog set up, but I wanted to start a blog about my long-distance dating journey.  My boyfriend lives about six hours from where I live so it has been an interesting challenge trying to figure out the logistics of when we can see each other since our work schedules are completely opposite.  We met about eight years ago when he lived in the same town that I live in.  We attended the same church at the time and that is how we met.  After dating on and off for a few years he accepted a position in a new store that was opening with his company and decided to move away.  We remained friends and talked on the phone occasionally but decided that dating just wasn't going to work at that time.  After a few years, we decided to try the dating thing again and now it has been about three months and we see each other about every two weeks or so and talk on the phone to each other just about every night.  Well that is enough hi...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...
