Danna came over to my house today and we had a ball! The kids played nicely together and stayed out of our hair and we were able to enjoy eachother's company the way we did back in the day. I LOVE my sister! One of the things we have always had so much fun doing, ever since I can remember, is baking. So she pulled out the cook book our Mom put together for us and we started baking away. I now have a new favorite dessert!! Connie's Pineapple Nut Bars!
