Short but sweet…

is my post today.  I have been to the store already this morning.  I went so early that I had to wait for a school bus loading kids.  It was stopped right in front of the house here in Pekin that was built a few years ago by Extreme Makeover, the TV show.  I know there is a handicapped child there so the wait was a little longer.  If you will go to this link, you can read the story of why the house was built.  http://www.pjstar.com/homepage/x398374077/Grys-family-of-Pekin-gets-home-makeover

I purchased fresh lemons today to make the cream cheese bars for my son so I need to really cut this short and get in the kitchen.

Lemon Cream Cheese Bars

These lemon bars are a great favorite of my son. Easy to make too!
Step 1.
Mix 1 box yellow cake mix with
1/3 cup oil and
1 egg
Mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup. Pat remaining mixture into a 13X9 ungreased pan. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile do
Step 2.
Beat 8 ounce package of softened cream cheese with
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar and
1 egg until light and fluffy.
Spread over baked crumb mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumbly mixture over top. Bake 15 minutes longer. Do NOT overbake. Chill completely and cut into squares.

Also, I have to have another mask for my c-pap so that will be brought by some time today.  One nice thing about living in a larger city is I am just a few blocks from the company that delivers these.  Wish me luck as I have had 3 nights in a row of little or no sleep.

I hope you all have a great day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

  2. Oh Twin, I am so sorry that it has been so awful these last three nights. What a miserable day that makes following that. I sure hope this new mask does the trick.

  4. I watch most of the Home Makeover shows and remember this tiny boy with the brittle bones. Those shows usually get me all teary-eyed at the end.

    The recipe sounds delicious!!! Sorry you've had such a hard time with that machine the past three nights. :( I sure hope the new mask works better for you!! Let us know!

  5. I'm loving the picture at the top of your page. Very pretty. It's bad losing sleep - then for 3 nights in a row. I do hope the new mask solves the problem for you.
