Storybook Land is fun for all ages, from our Grandson
who is 18 months, to Great Grandma who is now 93.
We picked her up and surprised her with a trip
out to Wylie Park and Storybook Land.
“Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow the Yellow Brick Road”
It’s not a long walk to the Train Depot.
Great Grandma was simply delighted to ride
the Storybook Land Exprress.
You can see the entire park and the Zoo during the trip,
while enjoying a ride, along with informational commentary
about the Storybook Land attractions.
While we were gallivanting around the park,
dinner preparations were under control at home.
Tip of the Day:
When making individual cheesecakes or frozen desserts,
use a cookie for the crust,
like an Oreo for Chocolate Cheesecake Crust.
Use Vanilla Wafers for a Lemon Dessert.
And who knew there were Dark Chocolate Oreos?!
A few simple ingredients for the Chocolate Cheesecake.
Since it was 90some degrees I did not want to turn on the oven.
Here’s another Tip of the Day…
use the wrapper, whether it is cream cheese
or the butter wrapper as your spoon rest.
With the No-bake Cheesecakes in the Refrigerator,
the pork roast was in the crockpot with these ingredients.
The table was set and the serving platters were in place.
When we got home, while waiting for Hubby’s Sister to get off work,
we noshed on these appetizers. Watermelon Caprese Bites.
Birthday Dinner was a simple weeknight meal.
Pulled Pork Sandwiches are perhaps Great Grandma’s favorite meal
when she goes out to eat.
Naturally, you need to serve Coleslaw with those.
Hubby made the Potato Wedges out on the Grill.
After we ate, there were gifts.
Of course, everything was a consumable item.
As “Seniors” none of us need more stuff!
We sang Happy Birthday and
brought out the Chocolate Cheesecakes.
There’s more…
Niece Nancy has always called my MIL on her Birthday.
This year she was in town to visit other family,
so we all met for breakfast.
We enjoyed our time together.
It was a good finale to Great Grandma’s Birthday.
These recipes are all on my Pinterest Page.
If you would like the links, I’d be happy to send them to you.
Take care,
