Awards & Peach Cobbler!

Hey guys...hope everybody is having a beautiful Sunday afternoon! Chris over at Chris's Corner
awarded me with these two beautiful awards a few days back....this first one wants me to tell you some honest things about myself...gosh Chris do think I make up all this stuff! lol lol Chris is a real sweetheart..she just posted some pics of her outdoor Christmas decorations...they are gorgeous..go by and take a peek! Oh and did you know Chris has so many decorations that she decorated her neighbor's outdoors on both sides of her!!!! Oh my word...I need to move Chris next door to me (well you don't think I'm moving off and leaving my Burlys do you!)


When you receive the prize, you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in their content or design. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing them that they were prized with 'Honest Weblog'. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on! Here goes...

1. I cannot stand the new modern cartoons these days with robots and talking monster figures! Give me the old Disney & Warner Bros cartoons anyday...(sorry grandbabies..but Maw Maw has to tell the truth here!)

2. I cry when I watch sad movies..no matter how many times I have seen it...like in Sommersby when they are about to hang Richard Gere & he had told Jodie Foster he'd be alright if she would just be there for him to look into her eyes and she said she couldn't bear it..but at the last minute just before they pull the lever she is running down the street screaming and pressing thru the crowd Yelling 'I'm Here...I'm Here'...and just at the last minute he sees her..ohhhh good grief where is my hankie!

3. I have never drank a drop of alcohol in my life...nope..doesn't make me any better than any body else...I just knew as a young girl...I never wanted any part of that in my life...I had too many alcoholic uncles & I saw early on what it did to them and their families.

4. I love & adore my family..thru good times & bad...I consider them to be my greatest treasures from God and I only pray that when I leave this world they truly will know how much they have meant to me.

5. I never was suppose to have been born according to the doctor...mama had been in labor over 30 hours and her life was fleeting fast and the doctors told her I was already dead & they strapped my mama to a table with no form of anesthesia and cut her open and I was already black...but God had plans for me....I took my first breath!

6. I believe in being who you are 24 hours a day..the same in public as you are behind closed doors...I have no confidence in a false person.

7. Speaking of confidence..I learned a long time ago to never put your whole confidence in any one to the point where you worship them...if they fall you will fall with them....I have seen many a good Christian be so caught up in the preacher that when that preacher fell they just fell with him...that is not what God intends for us to do....love and honor all but keep your confidence in God at all times..not a man.

8. I never..ever tell anyone what I weigh..seriously not even Bill !!!! My doctor knows there will be a hitman put out on him if he ever tells!

9. I have spoke to crowds of hundreds and it never bothered me but there are times I can just go to Wal-mart and have a panic attack...seriously..I have to talk to myself to get out of the car and go in...I hate it when that happens.

10. When I was in the third grade...my teacher Mrs. Burchfield was the most beautiful teacher I had ever seen...no prune face..granny woman there...she was young and looked like June Cleaver (without the apron)...every hair in place and her beautiful pearls and high heels..she looked like a model.... yet she had a way that just made you want to learn more & more...From then on I wanted to grow up and be a school teacher...but then I met Bill...that idea went out the window!

Now lookie here at this pretty little thing...ain't Chris just the sweetest thing for thinking of me!

Ok I mentioned dessert in the title....I can't have you leaving here with a 'bad' taste in your mouth after reading all that 'honest' stuff about me! lol Let's have some Peach Cobbler!

This is my very favorite cobbler & it is the same recipe as the Blackberry Cobbler on my side bar only for this I don't use peach pie filling I use the big can of sliced peaches and you use all the juice in it....oh it is fabulous!!! I don't even add ice cream to this one it is so good by itself..
Spray you baking dish with Pam or Baker's Joy...melt a stick of the butter/margarine in the dish in the mircowave and then just gently pour the whole can of the sliced peaches in the dish..no stirring...
in a bowl mix 1 cup of self rising flour & 1 cup sugar..slowly add 1 cup milk and keep mixing with a wisk until smooth and blended..add 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring..now slowly pour this mimxture all over your peach mixture..no stirring....now bake it in a preheated 350 degree between 35-45 minutes until good and golden....
