Good Morning Everyone,
Someone requested the Lemon Sponge Recipe and here it is from Jean.
It is snowing this morning. It snowed yesterday and now today. Where is Spring ?????
Marilyn
Hi Marilyn+Jean, the Lemon Sponge Cake sounds really good! As to "where's Spring?"- it's coming, just not as fast as we would like. At 5:30am we had 20 degrees+2" of snow on the ground. Should be in low 40's today w/sun. Hopefully this is winter's "final hurrah"for this season. I've also heard this summer is supposed to be very hot+humid. I guess we human beings are never satisfied+Just complain about lots of things. We must remind ourselves that God is in control of everything always+ we must have an attitude of gratitude in good times+bad. Blessings to all, Carol
Good Morning Carol,
Right now, it is snowing here and the sun is shinning. So figure that. I just brought Pierre in from a walk. I always keep some winter pictures and last year I put them on when it was so hot in the summer. I know God controls the weather, but sometimes I wish He would hurry. Just my human way, I guess. We could be having blizzards now so I guess we don't have much to complain about. I do remember when it snowed in May.
Blessings to you and yours,
Marilyn
Thank you Jean This is one recipe we will have to try. I love all things lemon. I hope things are well with you and David and the children. Your family holds a special place in my heart. I am wondering what you will all do for Easter. Do the children receive anything for Easter? I am missing your writing but I am always praying for you and your family!! God Bless Veronica
Hello Veronica,
I will pass your comments on to Jean. I know that she appreciates them. We might have her back next month, maybe just one post a month or something like that. Hope you enjoy the lemon pie. I know that Jean appreciates your prayers.
If any of you bake or cook any of the recipes and could take a picture, we would be glad to put it on here.
Marilyn
All of these recipes sound great. Thank you for going through all the work of posting them every day for Easter.

Hi Doreen,
Glad you like them. I will see that Jean gets your thanks. Next year we are going to start setting them up a little earlier than we did this year. I forgot all about them this year until Jean called me.

Hello......Lemon Sponge Pie - YES!!!! Thank you so much for fulfilling my request! I am making this tomorrow for us and can almost taste it now. Our cold weather was a surprise to us too - Even here in southern NJ, we had snow and a freeze. Some of the tender vegetation plants at the local garden centers were damaged by the freeze, unfortunately.
I so appreciate the posting of these recipes and your generosity of spirit. Thank you all......Chris
Hi Chris,
I am so glad that Jean and I made you so happy. We try to recipe please. Let us know how you like it after you make it.
I hope it warms up where you are, like it is suppose to here.
You are most welcome,
Marilyn
Good Morning!
I just wanted to let you know the lemon pie was a huge success at our Easter table yesterday! Everyone who had a piece gobbled it down and there is but one piece left for us today. We try to incorporate a new dish each holiday meal so that we can expand the choices for our menus. I think this one will be requested again and again for future holidays! Thank you. Chris
Thank you, Chris, for telling us. I am so glad that you enjoyed it. I will see that Jean gets your message.
Marilyn
