Fabulous Family Fun

Thank you Brian Johnson family for a fantastic reunion. We had a blast. We are excited for next year....well, maybe not as excited as we would be if we didn't have to plan it, but still the energy is high. A few pictures of our great weekend. Does anyone have good Thursday or Saturday photos? Here would be a great place to share them.


You may comment as you like on the pictures. Why didn't I take a picture of the Dutch Oven judges????

Thanks to all who came and helped so much with the Alan and Helen Johnson family reunion! We had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone! We look forward to next year when we can get together for a few days again! We have a great family! Love you all, Brian and RaeLynne

In Memory of Michelle

I'm participating in Relay for Life again this year. The event is on Friday. Michelle is my reason for participating. If any of you would like to donate to my efforts you can do so through this link. Michelle blessed our lives in so many ways. I'm grateful that I can do this little bit to help other people in her honor. Thank you so much for supporting me. You are a wonderful family!

Party Recipes

Here are the two recipes I promised to post. First Julie's delicious Banana Bread...I hope I remember all of it. Julie- leave comments if I get it wrong.
Banana Bread
4 smashed bananas
1/2 c (? sorry Steve didn't say what the 1/2 was!) soft butter- Julie melts this
2 eggs
3 TB baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c crushed walnuts Julie uses lots of these!
Mix the nuts and sugar together and put half of it on top.
1 tsp vanilla
Mix it up and bake 350* for 1 hour.

Oriental Salad
Originally from my bestest friend-Lesley. this recipe can also be seen at Pass The Salt on the links in my blog.
2 pkg coleslaw
8 tsp. sesame seeds toasted (I just poured them in the pan, who measures?)
1 c. almonds toasted (I used cashews and added a little more)
4 green onions sliced
1 pkg. Ramen noodles, crushed no seasoning packet

Dressing:
3 T. Rice vinegar
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. sugar
I doubled this because I had two bags of coleslaw. The original recipe calls for one bag.
Loved seeing everyone. We definitely don't get together enough.
