I am so proud that I just discovered how to make Granola.

I can't believe how easy it was and it is delicious and nutritious!

I just got the recipe off of Google

I get real generous with the vanilla and the cinnamon because I like them.

Also, last time I added a handful of chocolate chips And a hand full of coconut … just to empty a couple of bags….

Here is a hot tip!!!!!

If you have a food processor…. Go to Costco and buy whole (raw) Almonds … then slice them in the food processor….. about one forth the price of sliced almonds in the grocery store!!!

Also, buy the Craisins and Raisins at Costco…. Eat lots of samples while you are there!!!

Love ya

I want to post a blog now!
Today I had a student that I just dreaded to teach. He is scheduled for six classes per day for five days!
His profile said he had no computer skills, had never used PAF (Personal Ancestral File) He types with one finger only.
First the end of the story.
It was a delightful day, and one of the most successful days I have ever had. First I put him on a typing tutorial, then I taught him the difference between the screen, the CPU, and the key board.

Someone had downloaded some genealogy for him consisting of 151 names with a lot of holes in it, including his own children.

I hit the jackpot in an old prehistoric DOS file and was able to download the largest genealogy file I have ever seen...... about 12,000 names on a pedigree chart.

Of course his being the great, great Grandson of Jacob Hamblin didn't hurt.

The week will go very well because we have a lot to work on, and he has a great attitude about learning.

Moral: Never pre judge.
