A Note From Angela
 
Hi Everyone,
 
I have added "The Best of Home and Family Ezines Recipes
Book 1"  to the files section for you. I f you have a
website or newsletter I would love it if you would offer
this free to your visitors/readers.Simply download it from
the files section and add it to your website.
 
I am having a yard sale Thursday and Friday and hope to get
rid of lots of clutter.I have pretty much gotten it all out
of the rooms of the house but have my utility room full of
yard sale items.
 
It seems hurricane season has started and I just wanted to
say all of you in the paths of these storms will be in my
prayers and I pray that they will all go away before they
reach land.
 
Thanks to everyone that purchased books from my book list. I
love reading - especially cookbooks, home
decorating,homekeeping and along those lines.If you have any
favorite titles please email them to me so I can check them
out.
 
I  am saving my empty cans from vegetables,tuna,etc and
putting water in them to freeze and then taking a nail and
hammer and driving holes in them and then letting the water
unthaw, then I will paint them and use them for candles this
summer on my porch.The canle light will come through the
nail holes. I want to do several in red, white and blue for
the 4th of July.(Always be careful of candles and when using
these the cans get hot so keep out of reach of everyone.
 
Sunday is Father's Day so do something  to make that a
special day for the dad in your life or someone that feels
like dad to you.
 
Take time to enjoy the summer with your children.

Happy June!
Angela

Bible Reading
Blessed is the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew Chapter 5 Verse 3
 

Freezer Peach Jam
4 cups peeled, crushed fresh peaches
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (1 3/4 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
1 cup light corn syrup
5 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Measure peaches into a large kettle and add lemon juice. While
stirring, slowly add pectin. Let stand 20 minutes; stir every 5
minutes to blend pectin with fruit. Add syrup and blend well; add
sugar and blend well.

Cook over low heat until just warm to the touch (about 100 degrees
F). Do not allow mixture to become hot. Pour jam into jars to within
1/2-inch of top. Cover jars at once. Let stand until "jellied."

Store in freezer until ready to use. Keep in refrigerator once jar
has been opened.
 

Fun Yard Decor Ideas
By Monica Resinger

~ Johnny Jump Ups planted in small galvanized buckets looks so charming!

~ Plant half whiskey barrels tightly with strawberry plants.

~ Scarecrows are not only useful, they’re decorative.

~ Check your nearest dollar store for really cute and cheap garden
decorations!  They also have seeds sometimes 10 packets for $1.00. 

~ Make a rustic trellis by nailing or screwing branches together in desired
shape. 

~ Tip a flowerpot (any size) over and have soil spill out of it.  Plant
flowers in the soil for a charming spilled pot look. 

~ Old bowling balls can either be spray painted desired color or left as-is
and used as a ‘garden sphere’ that is so popular in gardens.  If you don’t
have a bowling ball, check the thrift stores or yard sales to get one cheap.

~ To spruce up a plain garage or house wall in the garden, nail strips of
wood onto the wall in a paned-window shape.  Paint desired color, add window-box
full of planted flowers, grow a flowering vine over it, or even hang silk
flowers over it.
