The Old Parsonage at Rutland ND will be open Friday, May 8, from 4-7, Sat., May 9, from 10-4 and May 10, from 12-4. On Friday, May 8, we have a guest on our porch! “Donna’s Bloomers” will be there selling her flowers and plants. We hope the weather stays good so we can enjoy the afternoon.

It’s finally getting a little warmer, but we need rain! Guess there’s nothing we can do about it! I remember how exciting it was to see rain. My brothers and I got to run outside and get soaked. We ran from our house to Grandma’s. She would always have cookies or cake for us. Then back out into the rain and head home. In other words, we messed up two places!

I’m looking forward to getting the Parsonage porch decorated. We have some new ideas if the weather gives us a few days. It’s always fun to try something different. Hope we have it ready by May 8.

We have been fortunate to get a lot of different things in this month. We are very happy that you think of us. We wouldn’t last long if we didn’t have the help. Thank you so much for dropping things off.

My grandmother did a lot of cooking and I was lucky enough to get some of her recipes. This one is Oven Pancakes:
1 1/4 cups milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup flour
Beat well. Add butter & salt to taste. Pour in greased pan size 10X10 and put in oven at 350% until done. Serve with whipped cream and lingon berries or cranberries.

Hope to see you the second weekend in May! Kathy
