I pureed 6 quarts of persimmons this week - took them to church with a recipe for persimmon bread and they were promptly taken. This afternoon I pureed the rest of the fresh ones I had that Emily brought me and got 6 more quarts. So will share some more as I baked 8 dozen cookies this afternoon and must say I do like the persimmon bread much better than the cookies. The cookies seem a little dry - remind me of Aunt Anna Barth - she always made persimmon cookies. A couple ladies at church love cookies so were happy to get the pulp so maybe they have a better recipe than I used. I'll freeze these and take them to church to have after church Fellowship hour.

The start of a New Year. . . . .
Amazing weather for the second day of January 2014!! The temp was 65 and feels like February instead of the cold, rainy weather we should have this time of year! We're hoping for some rain - some forecasters say it will happen next week - others are not so optimistic so we'll see what happens.
Now that we're enrolled in Medicare D, we were told we could go to our Pharmacy with our WellCare ID care and get prescriptions FREE. NOT SO!! The only ones that are free are the generic ones - - what interesting things we learn as we get older! So the prescriptions my OB/GYN Dr. wrote for me last week are not generic so since they would total over $100, I'll call her tomorrow to see if she can re-write them for a generic! Now we have learned to always ASK our Dr. to write generic drugs for prescriptions.
I did get a new battery in my watch today - the usual jewelry store just down the street from us no longer installs batteries in watches - so suggested Walmart and they still do while you wait! What is our world coming to? Is everyone sending people to Walmart instead of our hometown business owners?
Well, I guess we can be thankful we have beautiful weather, a warm house, good health, good food and excellent coffee! What more should we ask for? Thank you God!
