December 20, 2012, is my parents 65th Wedding Anniversary.
The most important values my parents always stressed to me were my attitude and work ethic. I have always believed that I wasn't the "sharpest knife in the drawer"but I also knew that I had a positive attitude and I liked to work hard.
But this blog is supposed to be about Christmas and include a family recipe. Well here it goes...
I really believe that everyday we walk the earth it is Christmas. We take so much for granted. We are so lucky. Yes, EVERYBODY has issues; family, money, job, and health. But to me that's Life. The old saying goes "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans". My parents had issues, family, money, job, and health. My father lost his dad in 1948 and his mom in 1968. My mother lost her dad in 1951and her mom 30 years next month. Believe everyday is Christmas. Be nice to people EVERYDAY! Smile, EVERYDAY! Laugh, EVERYDAY! I believe Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
This recipe was on the kitchen wall of my wife's parents home. Since we have been married it has always been on our kitchen wall wherever we lived.
