Cherry Coffee Cake & Summer Beauty

In this cherry season, I'm going to put this Cherry Coffee Cake recipe up.
It was from a Weeping Water friend of the family who had Danish connections.


I have lots of fun photos to load up in the next few weeks. This photo is the summer beauty!

Summer Storms & Potatoes! (and Mayonaise for potato salad)

This photo was apparently from an article in a paper about storm cellars, as it has "Dagmar Lauritzen at the storm cellar (potato storage) in the Lauritzen farmyard near Weeping Water, Nebraska, October 1981" typed on the back.

I'm including a recipe from Dagmar's box for homemade mayonaise. Perfect for your summer potato salad (potatoes are in the cellar!).

I have to include this photo of HC watching the cows in the pasture by the house (I think it's adorable!). Dagmar always enjoyed having the cows close in this pasture, so she could watch them.

Enjoy a cool Fruit Salad for your summer dinners

This recipe is the perfect addition to a summer meal. This is a real classic for pot luck dinners, too!

This old photo is Doris and a basket of kittens. She still loves the kittens and is always looking for the little ones when she comes to the farm!

Evie's Yum Yums for your Summer Get Togethers

I made this Yum yum recipe for a church dinner and there as not a speck of meat left on anyones plate. Rated: 10!


This photo is Dick, Doris, and Evie


My cousin the professional baker, who supplied the recipe for the rhubarb pie in a previous post; came for HC's birthday party and brought us 2 of her rhubarb pies. They were absolutely heavenly! The rhubarb jam has met with rave reviews too, and that is an easy one to make.
Stay cool and enjoy the summer.
