LADYBUG'S DOODLES: I have a variety of interests and hobbies and you will probably find them all included in my Blog. I am Christian, so I post what I believe and make NO Apologies for it. I will continue to strive to keep this blog rated G. Some things you will find here are reviews of movies and books, songs and their lyrics, recipes, crafts and ideas for crafts, quotes, lists, articles and facts, my experiences and any other thing I can come up with.
I get the Just CrossStitch magazine and saw this in the April 2022 edition. I loved reading about the Pascha Basket and Wanted to keep it for my Commonplace Book.
A very ancient custom which “fell by the wayside” among the Greeks as a result of the 400 years of Turkish rule, was the custom of “blessing the family baskets” of Paschal food at Easter. It is still widespread among the Slavic nations who inherited the Orthodox Christian faith and culture from the Byzantine Greeks. ~ stjohndfw

Burma is survived by her spouse, Wiley Owens whom she married on September 11, 1980.
Burma had many loving family members she left behind. She is survived by her daughter, Angela Flowers and her son Jason Flowers both of Hobbs, New Mexico.

Burma will always be remembered as the sweet loving lady known as wife, nana, great nana and friend. She touched the lives of all who knew her. She enjoyed spending time with all of her family and her friends. During Burma's lifetime here on this earth she was involved faithfully in God's ministry by helping others and making sure everyone received her smile. She created smiles on those all around her."
Reading the July/August 2021 edition of Good Old Days and came upon a poem that I wanted to save.
John Michael Schlageter, 42,
left to be with the Lord on Friday Dec. 29, 2017.
My Little, Big brother (born after me, but was taller than me) has gone home to be with the LORD!. I would always say that he was the classic of "Tall, dark and handsome!" John was slow in movements (such as his nickname of turtle) and he could keep his feelings and words closer than a rock. If he didn't want to talk, you couldn't get him to talk. He was sensitive and was loved! He is and will continue to be missed by his family and by his animal dog friends: Brownie and Tizzy. He was and will continue to be one of my BEST FRIENDS!
He
was born in Ft. Oglethorphe, Georgia, Apr. 22, 1975, to George and
Jacquelyn (Hatvany) Schlageter. He was preceded in death by both sets of
grandparents (Frank and Deloris June (Uhlenbecker) Hatvany and Glenn and
Marion (James) Schlageter), A Cousin Stephen Hatvany, Aunt and Uncle
Ted and Carolyn (Hatvany) Vinca, Aunt Rosemary Hatvany, Great Aunt
Nellie Ruth (James) Layne, along with a baby sister.
He is
survived by His parents, George "Jack" and Jacquelyn "Jackie" (Hatvany) Schlageter, of Carrizozo, N.M.,
Sister Margret Schlageter, Brother Fred and Kimberly (LaMay) Schlageter and
several Aunts, Uncles and multiple Cousins.

| Oatmeal & Chocolate Chip Cookies AKA Oatmeal Yummies |
A friend made these cookies and brought them to us here at the Police Department. I hate all Oatmeal, but surprisingly I LOVED these cookies. I am putting the recipe here on my blog to keep it forever!!!! :D
Ingredients:
1 1/2 C. All-Purpose Flour
3 C. Quick Oatmeal
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 C. Shortening (solid - not liquid)
1 C. Granulated Sugar
1 C. Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 tbsp. Water
1 1/2 C. Semisweet Chocolate Chips (can also use Nuts, Raisins, Coconut, etc...)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir together flour, oatmeal, salt, and baking soda; set aside. Beat together shortening and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Add half the dry ingredients; stir well. Add water and other half of the dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart. (instead of greasing cookie sheet, you can use cooking parchment paper) Press cookies down with your fingers slightly.
Bake for 7-10 min. to 16 min. depending on stove and altitude. Cool on racks. Recipe says makes about 80 cookies.
Note from friend:
"Hand mix the ingredients. Do not use mixer to make this recipe. You will need to use a spoon and good old muscles to mix."
I just love these cookies. :D
One of my best friends has passed away and no one told me. Not my friends where she lived and not any of my friends from the church we both attended. I will miss you Ms Wanda and I know that you are happy with your family and with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! |
