Is this the recipe you are thinking of?

Nutty Cracker Delight
42 + soda crackers (this is a full roll)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup slivered almonds
Place crackers in a single layer in a foil lined, Pam sprayed 15x10x1 inch baking pan. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar: bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; add vanilla. Pour evenly over crackers; sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove from the pan, breaking between crackers. Cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

    Carol.  I was looking back at the post's and I did not answer your question about how old my daughter is she just turned 32 last week so you were right.

We had a beautiful day today but it was very overcast but very very hot it was around 90 f and then the humidity.

Must go for now hope that you all have a wonderful day in the Lords house tomorrow and God's richest blessing's.  Gordon and Noreen.

A very lazy day yesterday...recouping from VBS and rehab! 

This morning I am doing the projection system at church.  Then I want to take the ladies to a waterfront restaurant for lunch if it isn't raining.  Then this evening is a pitch-in at Ivalou's grand-daughter's home. 

Oh, yes.  Ivalou's new g-g-daughter was born yesterday morning, July 2, at 6:42am.  She came into this world with dark, curly hair, 21 inches long and weighing 7 pounds and 13 ounces.  She goes by Brenna.  I don't know if there is a middle name or not.  Just Brenna so far.  Mommy and Brenna are doing fine.  I may see her this evening since Mommy and her sister lives just blocks apart.

Yes, Etta Sue they are very similar.

Off to churvh soon.  Silly kitty had us awake again last night.  I am off for a shower and ready for church.

Good Sunday morning to you all from a hot Atlanta.  We will attend church this morning and then eat out and come home and stay cool in our comfortable home the rest of the day.  No choir in July so can leave 30 minutes later than usual to get to the service on time. 

Ruth Ann, sounds like not only the kids but you enjoyed the splash and play.  That is a nice thing for them to do on a hot day.

Etta Sue, sounds like you have big plans for the 4th and shooting the fireworks from and over the water seems so much safer than on land.

My mother used to mix up powered sugar with a little butter and perhaps milk and put them on saltines.  That was a great treat when I was young.  Still sounds good.  Sometimes my wife will put canned frosting on graham crackers and make cookies and I like that as well.  Lately when she bakes chocolate chip cookies she just puts the dough in a dish and then cuts them apart when they have baked.  Think they are less dry than individual cookies and much less work for her.  All of the recipes from Judy, Etta Sue and Janice sound good. 

Etta Sue, forgive me for teasing you, but I am picturing a newborn baby with dark, curly hair 21 inches long!     I know what you mean, of course, just struck me funny. 

Thanks for the candy cracker recipes.  Sound good!  I am determined to lose another 10#, so won't be making them any time soon, but want to print them off for later use, preferable when I am expecting company or need a "pitch-in" dish.

Larry, I remember what a treat it was to have graham crackers with frosting made of powdered sugar and milk between them.  Of course, anything sweet was good, as sugar was rationed during the war, and we never had sweets at home anyway, except on very special occasions.  But we all grew up healthy, even if we felt deprived at times. 

Curtis was here yesterday and put another web browser on my machine, as he says IE really frustrates him, and the new email layout really bugged me as well.  It isn't Firefox; I forgot what he called it.  Anyway, I had to sign in again here on CP.

How are all of you planning to celebrate the 4th?  We don't have any plans.  Fireworks are banned here because of the drought, we wouldn't go anyway, probably.  I went by myself last year and that's not fun.  They are having a community picnic and other activities, and the Sr. center is open as well.  Or we could drive over to Hugoton and enjoy all the activities at the park there.  I imagine we will wind up just staying home........

Time to start another "Thoughts for the Week" HERE

See you there!
