You will have significant experiences. I hope you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Grandma's Covers

When you were small.....and just a touch away,
I covered you with blankets against the cool night air.
But now that you are tall.....and have moved far away,
I fold my hands and cover you with my goodnight prayer.

CHRISTMAS EVE

I wanted to do something different on Christmas Eve this year. In years past I have done different fondues with steak, shrimp, chicken, bread and different veggies with cheese fondue and different dipping sauces. It was very expensive and a lot of prep. And the clean up was, well let me just say H--- No! Not this year. I thought we would try dipping apples. I usually buy them every Christmas at Xocolat downtown Salt Lake for $7.00 - $8.00 a piece. Certainly we can do them for less money and have fun doing it. After everyone did their apple there was plenty of caramel and choc to do lots of pretzel sticks.
Started out with BIG gala apples
Chopped macadamia nuts, chopped toffee bars, chopped peacans, cinnamon&sugar, white chocolate, milk chocolate and homemade caramel.

Some of the finished product. Layeres of caramel, nuts and chocolate. They were FABULOUS. We have found a NEW Christmas Eve Tradition.
