pie....strawberry rhubarb pie to be EXACT!

Sometimes I feel like I get more excited about some things than other people. Like, take this pie sale for example. WOW! I think I should go work for Dan selling his pies because as it turns out I love them. This may very well be my last post about these pie until fall, so here it goes.

The very last flavor I had to try, I tried today. And ....I LOVED IT! I really wasn't all that excited about it, because I've eaten a lot of pie lately and really wasn't sure that I liked strawberry rhubarb pie....BUT I DO!
Peach is my favorite
Strawberry Rhubarb/Mountain Berry-tie for second
Apple/Toll House-tie for third
Cherry-a solid fourth place

There you have it folks! My jeans don't fit but I'm happy!

The Quaker Girl

The Quaker Girl is a Edwardian musical comedy in three acts with a book by James T. Tanner, lyrics by Adrian Ross and Percy Greenbank, and music by Lionel Monckton. In its story, The Quaker Girl contrasts dour Quaker morality with Parisienne high fashion. The protagonist, Prudence, is thrown out of her house by her quaker parents for drinking a glass of champagne. Later, in Paris, her grey dress and bonnet become the height of fashion.
The musical opened at the Adelphi Theatre in London on 5 November 1910 and ran for an extremely successful 536 performances. It starred Gertie Millar and C. Hayden Coffin. Phyllis Dare starred in the Paris production in 1911. It then opened at the Park Theatre on Broadway on 23 October 1911, running for a successful 240 performances. A revised version was produced at the London Coliseum on 25 May 1944, but the run was interrupted by bombing. The piece then toured the British provinces and soon re-opened in London at the Stoll Theatre in February, 1945, followed by extensive touring until December, 1948. The piece was popular with amateur theatre groups, particularly in Britain, from the 1920s until 1990, receiving over 250 UK productions during that period, but it has been produced only sporadically since then.^[1]
Of the musical numbers in the score, only "Come to the Ball" continues to be well known, but "Tony from America" and "When a bad bad Boy" are also key numbers. Selections from the score were recorded in 2004 by Theatre Bel-Etage chorus and orchestra, conductor Mart Sander. The complete show, including dialog, was revived in a staged concert with piano in July 2007 by Lyric Theatre of San Jose, California.^[2]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HINKLE CREEK FRIENDS!!!!!!

HINKLE CREEK FRIENDS HISTORY

 Early records of Hinkle Creek Friends were kept in a safe at Westfield Friends Meeting.  In 1850, the safe was blown in search for money.  All records were destroyed, however, no money was in the safe at the time.  The search for the persons who blew the safe was unsuccessful although the blame was placed on Indians who lived in the woods nearby.  Therefore,  members wrote from memory about the History of Hinkle Creek Friends.  The following is exerpts of the account of Amos Carson which were handwritten by him in the year 1915.

“Hinkle’s Creek Friends was set off as a Preparative Meeting on June 29, 1836 under the care of Union Friends Meeting.  On June 9, 1841, the 3.4 acres of land was purchased from Joseph Sumner in the amount of $13.50.  The purpose was to build a Meeting House and establish a cemetery.  The first person buried in the cemetery was Jane Fisher who was the 16 year old daughter of James and Nancy Fisher.  The year is unknown of her death at this writing.  The first Meeting House was constructed in 1841 from logs cut from this property.  It was replaced in 1852 by a frame building being 26’x26’ in size.  It was destroyed by fire in 1871 and a larger Meeting House was constructed in that same year which was 52’x36’.  The floor was level, and a long partition running north and south with one door divided the Church into two rooms.  Two stoves heated the rooms.  The men worshipped in one room and the women worshipped in the other.  Around 1915, the partition came down and everyone worshipped together.  A platform was built and the floor sloped along with adding classrooms behind the pulpit area which was divided by the current archway. “

 After 139 years of standing, the structure became compromised in August, 2010.  After extensive work and remodeling, we were able to save this original structure.  After months of hard work, we are honored to present to you today this 140 year old Sanctuary and desire to rededicate it to always be used to bring the message of Christ to the lost and the people of this Community.  We continue the vision from 1836 of our charter family members with the following last names:  Sumner, Rich, Beals, Carson, Harris, Bray, Hodson, Pickett, Reese, Haworth, Cook, and Hiatt.
