PEACHES FOR A PEACH PIE

While I was watching a cooking show on TV. It was showing how to make a peach pie. What got my attention was, always use frozen peaches when making a peach pie if you cannot get fresh peaches. I did not know this. If you use canned peaches they will get soggy and the pie will not have a very good texture. Just use the unthawed frozen peaches and mix them with your sugar and spice mixture then bake it. If you make a apple pie or berry pie do the same with them.

CHRISTMAS AND MY GRANDDOGS

With each Christmas we all have a special moment that we love to remember. This year mine was my granddogs. As we were opening gifts at my sons house our little cousin had came over as her mom was in the hospital at Vandy. She had brought one of her christmas gifts with her which was a little white dog that we have seen advertised this Christmas and they also had them at Target and Walmart. It is so close to a real dog it is scary.
 Anyway during a break she went and got her dog. Now my two yorkies were all dressed up in their christmas suits and was just sitting watching us open gifts when all at once they heard a dog barking. They jumped up on the end of the love seat to see what was going on. She had it walking on the hardwood and it was just like a real dog. My dogs did not know what to think or do. They thought this dog was trying to get them. They started barking and backing back like they were scared to death. Then Lucy decided to be brave and jump down on the floor and get close to it. You should have seen her. It would come at her and she would back away and then just had to get close again. This went on for around 20 minutes. I have never saw anything like it. If you want to have some fun just go get you one of these dogs and let you dog see it. You will be about rolling laughing. To all of us this made our Christmas.  If we would have vidoed it we could have won. lol. It was that funny.
 As we had a medical emergency in our family it took our mind off of this for a while. We thank God that he was on time and helped us thru this. But our family is still needing prayer with this sick one. We are standing in need of prayer for the next two months with my sister-in-law as she needs to get her system built up and be able to keep food down. She has been able to eat some but is needing to be able to eat a high calorie diet for the next two months as she has had some liver damage and by eating this it will help repair it. So would everyone please remember her in prayer.
