Sunny Lemon Pie

Over the weekend I tried a new recipe my mom discovered; Sunny Lemon Pie. We all thought it was a tasty and refreshing summer treat!

Sunny Lemon Pie-
Ingredients

• 1 (4-serving size) package lemon pie filling, cooked according to the package directions
• 1/4 cup (½ stick) butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
• 2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (I made my own whipped cream)

Instructions

1. While lemon pie filling is still hot, add butter, lemon juice, and lemon peel; stir until butter is melted. Add sour cream; mix well.
    
2. Pour mixture into pie crust and chill for at least 2 hours, or until set. Completely cover top of pie with whipped topping and serve, or cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.

Nightgowns

  Earlier this week I added these two new summer nightgowns to my Etsy shop. There is nothing quite so cool and comfortable as a pretty summer nightgown!

Books

Over the weekend my fiancé Adam and I found some wonderful books at an estate sale. For quite a few years now I have enjoyed the books of E.D.E.N. Southworth. Each book is filled with mystery, excitement, adventure and romance. Of all the books I have read none can rival Mrs. Southworth in imaginative originality. However I found that her books can be difficult to find, and once found sometime a little expensive. I really felt like we discovered a treasure this weekend when we found 5 E.D.E.N Southworth books, each priced at 50 cents.

                                         These two books are a series…..

                  As are these two! Just too much excitement for one book to contain. : )

Have any of you  read a Mrs. Georgie Sheldon book? I have not, but found these two books at the estate sale.

Also over the weekend I completed the crocheted rug I was working on. I hope in the near future to blog about how I have made the rug. It is a great way to utilize scrap fabric, and truly an enjoyable project!

"So Take Joy Home"

                                             So take Joy home,
                                             And make a place in thy great heart for her,
                                             And give her time to grow and cherish her;
                                             Then will she come, and oft will sing to thee,
                                             When thou art working in the furrows; ay,
                                             Or weeding in the sacred  hour of dawn.
                                              It is a comely fashion to be glad,-
                                              Joy is the grace we say to God.

                                                                 -Jean Ingelow
