It's April 1...and, I have not heard "April Fool" even once...must not have had any grandchildren around!!!! I'm pretty sure that there were probably one or two or...pranks, at least, attempted at Nathan and Kathy's house! The turning of the calendar page is how I can distinguish the new month. The thing that I just can't believe is that 1/4 of the year is behind us. Zoom! Zoom! This morning I made a tuna casserole that is a "tried and true" recipe in our family...literally it is in my notebook of favorite recipes that I titled, "Tried and True." This particular recipe came originally from a Better Homes & Gardens Casserole Cookbook. When I remodeled the kitchen, I got rid of a lot of old recipe books (fodder for one of Nathan and Kathy's yardsales). Before getting rid of them I went through the cookbooks and copied recipes that I had made in the cookbook and that we really liked. That is pretty much what my Tried and True Cookbook notebook is made up of...Dorrell family favorite recipes from many, many sources over the years. This notebook lets me have one major source to get recipes. Of course, I didn't get rid of all my collection of cookbooks. I still have many cookbook notebooks to choose from along with many favorite recipe books...two shelves full...still. But I did pare my collection down by many during the kitchen renovation. Today's recipe is called Company Tuna Bake...no telling how many times I have made this recipe over the 56 years since Woody and I married. One of the things I have been doing over the last couple of weeks is look a year back in the blog and see what Woody and I were doing on that particualr day. I sometimes wonder who I am reading about...sometimes hard to realize that we went through certain things...sometimes it is almost like I am reading about someone else's lives and other times I can't believe how Woody went through what he did...and at other times...the same about me! I am glad to have the blog to look back at...like a diary and/or journal. After lunch, today I headed to church to meet up with Donna to do some work in the library. We discovered that quite a bit of activity had been happening in there while we have been out of pocket over the last few weeks! Just because we haven't had work days, didn't stop our readers from enjoying the library...checking out and returning books. Donna came up with a system to get the stacks of books organized so we could get them checked in and reshelved...without as much as one library mystery today! We got everything back to rights and will start work on the new book order our next work day. I didn't sleep the best last night and when I got home from the library, I couldn't keep my eyes open,when I sat down to rest my back...feeling more refreshed, I have gotten the garbage out to the road and have had my supper...enjoyed that tuna casserole for supper. Now I am ready to work a little more on the Sunday School lesson (I got a few teaching helps from the library) and hopefully do a little reading and stitching before my eyes close again for the night. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
