Another Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my Twin Aunts They also share this special day with me! They are 4 yrs older then myself, and youngest of 15 children...
Today I celebrate another year of life! Above is a photo of "my Birthday Pies" I made them yesterday for tonight! I found this in a Taste of home magazine (much older issue) and thought it looked like a great Fall treat! The crust is a rice krispy treat, then you spread melted chocolate over that, then sprinkle with coconut and then reeces pieces candies.

Today I hope to not have to work so hard! My Dear Friend Teri is coming over and we will be enjoying Breakfast at Bob Evans, Then we will come home and visit some more as we have lots of catching up to do!

Here is some history from the year I was born and how the cost of things have risen!
