A super-hectic few weeks. Addie is now juggling 3, or is it 4, jobs and one new BF; she reluctantly dropped the ECHO volunteer work. Jenna graduated Phi Beta Kappa, celebrated a birthday, moved out of college and into her new condo – sharing living space with her good friends. Oh, and she also worked in a trip to IL with her BF to drive Grandmother’s car 900 miles to VT. (No problems at the border, although the border patrol did question why she had a VT license, her BF had a MA license, and they were driving a WI car into Canada with a destination to VT. No worries, an official letter from Grandmother to smooth the way.)
Mother moved in, making her new home with us in VT. Geo took a sponsored trip to FLA for a few days for a disabilities conference. And we worked a booth at the Business Expo. Somehow we did manage to keep up with our regular employment.
Last night we received a call from our dear friend Phil who is offering to help us out with opening our Kamp on the Lake. I’m ready, let’s bring on those hazy, lazy days of wave-watching, and sunsetting -over- the -islands peaceful late evenings of summertime! Peace with joy.

Bisquick Apple Cake
“Mom, I have such wonderful memories of all the good holiday meals you cooked when we were growing up,” Jenn said to me one day.
“Really?” I asked. “And what did you like best?”
“Those Bisquick rolls. You made them every holiday.”
Bisquick! I had expected her to say the delicious aroma of ham baking in the oven, or the roast turkey with homemade stuffing, or even the heaping mounds of buttery mashed potatoes she loves so much. But, no, Bisquick.
I have to admit I am a fan of Bisquick. It’s just fun to use. (Did I really make Biquick rolls EVERY holiday??)
Well, here’s a new Bisquick recipe I tried for the first time. Quick and fun Bisquick Apple Cake:
Mix together 2 Cups of Bisquick, 2/3 cup milk, one egg, 2 Tbls sugar, AND one can of apple pie filling. Pour into greased pan and top with a blend of 1/3 cup Bisquick, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 2 Tbls butter. Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until done. Serve ala mode or topped with whipped cream.
Okay, now, for Valentine's Day I'll make this with Cherry pie filling, and for Easter I'll use pineapple pie filling, and for Thanksgiving - how about pumpkin pie filling, and...
