<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">I recently found
some photos I scanned from slides a while back. These were taken in Ocean City,
NJ. I'm pretty sure it was 1959, but not </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">positive</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> because there were no
dates on the slides.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">It must have
been a chilly spring day. My Dad took my brother, Bob and I to Ocean City for the
day, probably to check on our house and hang out a bit at the beach. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">57<sup>th</sup> Street
Beach. The photos are not great, but they show some of the houses on Central
Ave. This swing set was next to a pavilion I think it may have been right at
58th street.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I spent 2 wonderful days at this beach in the Summer of 2018. So wish I had taken some photos with the same view looking back at the houses. There is actually a swing set at the back of the beach. But it does not have those awesome wooden seats that let you swing sideways so easily. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Here's one of my favorite shots from 2018 showing the beach. Still one of my favorite places. Lots of memories here.</span><br />

of the same place I took in 2017 when I visited for a short time. It’s now a very pretty peaceful place. It's hard to imagine it was once a rickety small marina to launch boats. This area is not part of Corson's State Park. The main part of the State Park is on the other side of the bridge shown in the above photo with my brother Bob.</span></div>

<strong><u>Carrot Cake</u></strong></div>
<br />
<strong>Source:</strong> Patricia Swindell—Kinston, NC, best darn southern cook I ever met! She brought me a hunk of this cake in some tin foil back in 1976. It is by far one of the best things I've ever tasted! YUM and more YUM!<br />

<li>Bake in 3 round greased and floured pans at 350 degrees until toothpick comes out clean. </li>

Here's a photo of the last time I made Carrot Cake. One recipe actually made a two layer square cake to take, and two small two layer loaf cakes - one to give away and one to keep and eat! <br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #665d54; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">I inherited the Christmas cookie baking disease from my mom. She always baked lots and lots of cookies for Christmas.</span><br />

I think I used about 10 lbs of butter this year, lots of flour, sugar and for sure lots of Vanilla. Here's some photos from this year. Should have taken more, but I was too busy baking, bagging and getting packages ready to mail and share.<br />

I make a total mess when mixing. I've do all the mixing of the batter in one day so only one cleanup of the mess. The dough is put in bowls and into refrigerator until the next day. They have to sit out for a little while before I'm able to roll into balls and bake. I do bake the Spritz cookies the same day, cause the batter has to be just right to squeeze out of the cookie press. Of course every baker needs a nice glass of Chardonnay ready and waiting...<br />

These are the best sugar cookies. Just roll into a ball, roll in sugar, flatten with a glass bottom and sprinkle with colored sprinkles. NOTE: took me years to figure out to get an empty sprinkle bottle and put green and red sprinkles in it and mix. That way you get red and green sprinkles all at once. DUH!<br />

Although the water is rising like crazy here, the ditches designed by The Woodlands are working to help the water run off and keep it from flowing into houses. There are so many parts of the Houston area not so fortunate. Heartbreaking watching all the flooding happening in so many areas. Hoping it will stop raining soon.<br />
<br />
8/27 Saturday Afternoon - Just some rain outside my back yard.<br />

Both options gave super sharp photos.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">I decided to give it </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"> a try to try using the camera I already have. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">A few years ago, I purchased an inexpensive waterproof case for my little Sony Point and Shoot camera to take on vacation. The Sony is about 7 years old, and I purchased the case on Amazon for about $15. It was the least expensive option to take photos in the water. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Having willing kiddos to pose has been the best part. All shots were taken at local pools in The Woodlands Texas. Would love to have a better camera to get sharper photos, but...The Best Camera is The One You Have Right Now!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> After several blurred and dark photos, I finally realized that keeping the flash turned on underwater works so much better.</span></div>

Here's the camera I used for the underwater photos. You can buy the case on Amazon. There are other brands and types available. No way would I buy a case for my Canon DSLR and take it under water. My little Sony was just sotred for several years just begging to be used again. Some of the cases offered can be used for cell phones. The instructions that came with my case suggested putting a tissue or two inside the case, seal it up and submerge in water for a while to be sure there are no leaks before using with a camera. Good Advice!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I was still in the mood to get a new profile photo, so I decided to take my set up into the house. I seriously dismantled my dining room, removed things from the wall and moved furniture around. Thank goodness for the Wi-Fi option on my 6d-it worked great to focus and click the photos. And of course the room was too small to use my new 85mm lens, so I used my 24-105. Whew! Next time, I’ll wait until it’s cooler to try outside selfie photos!</span><br />

I remember the wooden chairs and the slight musty smell of the inside of the church because I'm pretty sure they closed down every winter back then. It was one large room with wood paneling.

<a href="http://shoobiesbitsandpieces.blogspot.com/2014/04/photography.html" target="_blank"><b> Photography in Progress...More to come...</b></a></div>
<br />
I have finally acquired a Canon Rebel T3i, my first DSLR camera. Taking pictures has always been a passion for me. I have over 50 full photo albums of pictures to prove it. Until now, I have only had instant, small cameras...A Sony point and shoot for years.<br />
<br />
I just love my T3i! It's been a task figuring out how to use it and all the options, but I'm finally catching on. Watching lots of free tutorials and reading all kinds of articles and books to learn to learn how to use the camera has been so fun. The Automatic settings on the camera have not been used for a couple months and I only shoot in RAW. Yeah! I use Adobe Lightroom to manage and develop my photos.<br />
<br />
I set up a <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/115405185@N04/" target="_blank">Shoobie V Flickr Page</a> with some of my Nature shots.<br />
<br />
Here's a few of my favorite shots so far:<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Christmas Baking</b></span></div>
<br />
Oh the cookie baking! Happens to me every year! I inherited the Christmas cookie baking disease from my mom. She always baked lots and lots of cookies for Christmas. She used to fill several Charles Chips cans to the top (Charles Chips were awesome pretzels and potato chips that were delivered to the house in huge tins). For the past several years, I have baked my own huge batches of lots and lots of Christmas treats. I use Christmas decorated clear bags found in craft stores to make individual servings of the cookies and treats. I either arrange on trays or box up in USPS flat rate boxes to mail to my family in other states.<br />
<br />
Here are all the cookies and treats I made a couple years ago. I took all the pictures, but never had time to post to my blog. There's no telling how many pounds of butter, flour, sugar and chocolate were used to prepare this crazy large amount of calories. BTW...That's the first Christmas tree in the middle of the cookies we bought so many years ago. It's fake and not so pretty, but I enjoy decorating it every year. It's nice remembering.<br />

The best pound cake recipe! I have two mini Bundt pans. Using a No-Stick Baking Spray with flour is a must. You can find it with the Pam in the stores. Don't use regular Pam, use one with flour included for the less chance of cake sticking to the pan. The light frosting is perfect because it hardens enough so it does not stick to the bag. I put each one in a separate bag. Such a special treat. <br />

I mentioned my mom used to store here cookies in a Charles Chips can in the 60's. My HS friend Kathy just posted this fabulous picture of the Charles Chips delivery truck and the cans. Such a great memory. You would put the empty cans on the front porch with a check for them to be replaced with filled cans. Nothing better than those chips and pretzels!<br />

</tbody></table>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
White Chocolate for melting. I usually make these at Christmas time. Sam's Club carries 2.5 lb. blocks of Ghiradelli White Chocolate during the holiday season. I find it is the best tasting white chocolate for pretzels.<br />
<br />
Small Pretzels-Again Sam's Club usually carries huge containers of Christmas shaped pretzels during the holidays. You can use any pretzel or shape you prefer.<br />
<br />
Sprinkles-red and green for Christmas!<br />
<br />
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces, then melt it in the microwave, dip the pretzels and place on wax paper lined cookie sheets, shake on the sprinkles while still warm, then wait for the chocolate to harden. That's it!<br />
<br />
<b>Melting Hints:</b><br />
<b>Container:</b> I find the best container to melt the chocolate is a small white opaque pyrex type heat proof dish. I have a couple I love to use-you don't want high sides on the dish. Not much luck with using clear glass containers. You can also find some disposable melting trays in craft stores which work OK too.<br />
<br />
<b>Melting Time:</b> You will need to experiment with time and settings on your microwave. Melt a small amount of chocolate to test first. I'd start with 1 minute at 30 percent power. <b>Always reduce the power setting when melting chocolate in the microwave. </b>If it is in for too long or at full power, your chocolate will become lumpy, so be sure to err on the side of not melting it long enough. You can always put it back in for more time and up the power setting. Stir between melting times. It should be very creamy before you start dipping the pretzels.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Dip:</b> I usually use a meat fort with 2 small prongs. It can fit inside or under the pretzel, and I find it easy for me to use. Might also use a toothpick, Chop Sticks, or anything else you find in your kitchen that works for you.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A Box of Halloween Treats!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you have Grand-kids in two different parts of the country, it's just fun to send them special treats. <br />
Hope my pictures give you some ideas to put together your own Halloween Box! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the finished gift box. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can fit a LOT of stuff in this USPS Medium Flat Rate box!<br />
This box contains treats and goodies for three Grand-kids. </div>

Found this wonderful Chocolate Reese's Pieces Cookie recipe here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://crazylittleprojects.com/2012/05/chocolate-reeses-pieces-cookies.html" target="_blank">Chocolate Reese's Pieces Cookies</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made some alterations by doubling the recipe and adding a bag of Baking Mini Reese's Pieces to the amount in recipe. I also rolled the dough in small balls, rolled them in sugar and pressed them down with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Cream sugar, butter and eggs until smooth; slowly add
sour cream and vanilla. Sift and add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix at
medium speed until smooth. Grease and flour 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. Pour in 1/2 of the
batter, sprinkle with 1/2 of the topping, and then add the other half of batter
and remainder of topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. When
finished, mix some 10X sugar, milk, and about 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Drizzle
over top of the cake to frost. </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Note: </b>I usually bake small or medium loaf pans instead of the Bundt pan. One to give and some to freeze. Usually makes about 3-4 loaf pans depending on the size you use.</span></span><br />

Vintage Ocean City Beach Pictures</h3>
I have to start with 1926...This is a picture of my mom. Not sure if it was taken in Ocean City. Probably not. I think her mom was born in Atlantic City, but not a lot of history written about those day. My mom died when I was 21, so I did not really get to have a lot of time to ask her about the old pictures. Not many pics from back then, but I'm lucky to have a copy of this one.<br />

<strong>1955 (I think)...</strong>I remember when the following picture was taken. My brother Richard, bottom row 2nd from left, was leaving for or returning from the Army. (This is one of the few pics I have of him at the beach. He hates the beach.) They had a "Luau" party for my brother and his friends. At least two of the ladies were my mom's friend. Armena and Ruth were good friends who spent every summer in Ocean City. Armena Levonian was Armenian. How funny is that? They were the nicest people. They owned a house across the alley from us.

Not very many pics after this. It was diffent times...not as many pictures taken. Not like today with the digital pics! I'm almost sorry I found the "Burst" option on my Sony digital camera. I have thousands of pics now of everything. It's nice to be able to treasure the few pictures we have from the past and remember the good times.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016859037453772855.post-89116158919244528502012-05-13T22:08:00.002-05:002019-11-07T21:14:24.423-06:00"Sheet" Crick!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Shit Crick </b>(Yes, that is what my mom called it)</span></div>
We had some Crab for dinner tonight. It brought back memories of my mom cooking crabs in Ocean City, NJ in the 1950's.<br />
<br />
When I was growing up, we would spend every summer at our house at 5613 Asbury Avenue in Ocean City, NJ. I was probably 5 or 6 years old when my brother Bob and sister Joan discovered this crick (Creek...for non Philly people) a block away behind West Avenue. They used to catch the largest and most delicious crabs. They would set traps and catch these wonderful crabs, bring them home for my mom would cook them up! Well, come to find out, the creek was the place where all the cesspools and septic tanks from the south end Ocean City spitted out their very fertile surplus. Probably supplied tasty stuff for the yummy crabs to feed on. Thank goodness I hated most seafood at the time, so I never tried them.<br />
<br />
Ok, this was before the EPA and any regulations. Who knows what was released in the cricks and rivers of our county. Bob and Joan are lucky to have survived Shit Crick!<br />
<br />
My sister has told me this story many times. We have laughed about Mom bragging about the huge tasty crabs Bob and Joan caught at Shit Crick.<br />
<br />
Here's a picture of the Crab we had tonight. They came frozen in a package from Sams's Club. Who knows where the heck Sam's found them. Hopefully not in a Shit Crick!<br />

I found this wonderful idea on Pinterest. Here are to links to these sites for more ideas... <a href="http://happymoneysaver.com/send-a-box-of-sunshine-to-brighten-someones-day" target="_blank">Happy Money Saver </a>and <a href="http://jessicabooth.blogspot.com/2012/03/box-of-sunshine.html" target="_blank">Preserving Life's Moments</a>.<br />
<br />
I put together a Box of Sunshine for my sister. It was so fun walking around Walmart choosing fun yellow and happy items: Lemon Cookies; Burt's Bees Lip Balm; bath scrubbies; lemon hard candy; honeysuckle candle; yellow lollipops; Pretzel Combos with cheese; a CD; pot holders; a water bottle. Not pictured, I also added a couple Lemonade Capri Suns.<br />
<br />
All the items were put in a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box. So no worry about how heavy the box was getting!<br />

Here is a Box of Sunshine I put together for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. Never know what to send her, but I hope she will enjoy opening this box! She's diabetic, so I included sugar free items. Here are some of the items included: sugar free lemon pudding and Jello; Crystal Light candies; Dove Sugar free dark chocolate; decaf teabags; honeysuckle candle; crossword puzzles; Goldfish; Crystal Light Lemon Raspberry drink packets; raisins; box of Tomato Basil soup; yellow dishtowels, dishcloths and pot holder. I purchased the tissue paper and cellophane at the .99 store.<br />
<br />
Again, all the items were put in a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box. So no worry about how heavy the box was getting! <br />

My lunch group also put together a "Box of Sunshine" for a friend who
needed a lift. We all brought in some yellow or happy items to put in the
box. Someone else put it together so I don't have a picture, but it
was so fun because we all contributed something different. <br />
<br />
Here is the graphic I used to print the Sunshine on yellow paper. I inserted the .jpg into a Word document. Copied and pasted it several times in different sizes. On the largest one, I inserted a text box to write a message and chose to have no fill or outline. Then printed on yellow paper and cut them out. Ok...it was not really fun cutting them out, but they turned out pretty cute!<br />

This is such a fun idea and the possibilities are endless!<br />
