Kids Night In for Your Budding Chef

Kids Night In for Your Budding Chef

Whether you've got a budding chef at home, or just hope to get your kids more involved at mealtime, kid approved recipes are just perfect for beginning cooks.  These recipes are sure to bring kids to the kitchen,

When I was 10, I asked for a box cake mix to bake.  My parents came back from the grocery and had the cake mix, which I immediately baked.  Turned out good for a first-time cook.  If your child doesn't bring up the subject of cooking or baking, you may want to ask them what they would like to cook?  You may end up with a delicious surprise!

What to bring to the reunion.

What to bring to the family reunion.  1. Your spouse, children, grandchildren & great-grand children, parents and grandparents. 2.  Family tree. 3. Food...Take food and drink and lots of it.  It can't be a party without something for the belly and whet the whistle.  Plan ahead and buy snack foods in bulk so that kids - and hungry adults - can load up on candy, granola bars, and trail mix. 4.  Home movies.  If you have 8 mm movies that were taken years ago, at a reunion, have them transferred to DVDs and bring them to the reunion with a screen for showing them  Tell everyone to gather around the screen and watch movies that were made of them 25 years ago.  This will get the group laughing for sure.  Look at your knock knees!  Did you really wear your hair that way in high school?  Look, dad has hair! 5. Video cameras, very important for the reunion in following years! 6.  Genealogical research.  If you have some of great-great grandma's clothing or grandpa's

Reunion 2018

Reunion 2018, Original Reunion Newsletter.  Dear families, I hope you and your families are well.  Ever since my husband's funeral in 2015 (Edward Lee Ayers, Sr.), I have dreamed that we could have a family reunion in 2018.  I held the first reunion in 1995, so after 22 years, it's about time we get together again. One of the first tasks is to put together a family list so that we can see if there is enough interest in having a reunion.  Below is a survey form, and we would appreciate your response as soon as possible.  (If there is enough interest, a lot of planning will be necessary, and we need enough lead time.)  I know some of you have been meticulously keeping up with a family tree and/or address book.  Is your tree in a copy-able format that you could send to me?  I have a pretty good address list of my immediate family, but I especially don't know the details about you, aunts, uncles and cousins.  We want to include all branches or our tree.  At a minimum, p
