Sunday: Early Saturday Morning just for you...

*`~ Are you Ready~`*

I woke up early this morning knowing I had to come clean at Mama's today..

And I was ready to go, but I wanted to bake a goodie as Mama used

to call it for everyone to show them I appreciate their hard work.

My Granddaughter Rosalinda has been very helpful

and if she only knew how much

I really appreciate her.. Everyone my oldest daughter Stephanie and my youngest Victoria

So it's my way of thanking them..

So you ask what did I bake

well I baked Banana Bread and Apple Buttermilk Cake..

Pulled out the Teapot and the teacup

Put the water on turned the dryer on.. lol and tie up the hair..

Got the recipe out then all the ingredients

And away I went..

I had found the recipe a long time ago when I would sit with Mama and surf the web when 

she went off to bed.. I finally got around to making it

and I really like it and so did my granddaughter Rosalinda.. 

Though there was a mistake in the recipe about baking time It was I say really good 

with tea.. 

You might have a recipe already for it.  but I thought just the same in case

you hadn't I would share the recipe with you

so you can have it for tea..
