Time to bake!










My husband is from a small farm, and he’s never gotten over the urge to raise fresh vegetables. I used to enjoy canning and making jelly but since I became an author there’s very little free time so it’s up to him. I resurrected my mother’s old recipe for zucchini bread and recently made a couple of loafs. Boy did they taste and smell good too!




             Now is the time to become absorbed in a new book!

It included games, dancing and a grand dinner, and ended with an indoor "snowball fight" using specially made cotton balls.                                    President Benjamin Harrison placed the first Christmas tree in the White House

PRESIDENTIAL HANDSHAKES ON NEW YEAR’S DAY

  Shaking the president's hand. Have you? Ever? Tell me about it! Calvin Coolidge's New Year's lineup.     PRESIDENTIAL HANDSHAKES ON NEW YEAR’S DAY     For more than a century, New Year’s Day was marked by a large reception held at the White House. Foreign ambassadors and members of the US government were invited, but attendance wasn’t restricted to a guest list. Astoundingly, anyone could wait on line, enter the White House, and shake the hand of the president.  The tradition of the New Year’s reception, or levee, as it was often called, began with George Washington, before the White House was built. The first occupant of the White House, John Adams, took up residence in the unfinished mansion in November 1800, and hosted its first New Year’s reception on January 1, 1801.  A history of the White House published a century ago noted that John and Abigail Adams hosted a “very formal affair”:  The President and his wife did the honors alone that New Year's Day, and it doe
