Valentines Week and Christian fabric

Valentines week is special for my husband and me. Tony and I were married on the 13th. Lots of people ask us why didn't we wait one day and get married on Valentines Day. Well, when you get married on a 3 day pass from the Air Force you don't have time to wait a day. Tomorrow will be our 37th anniversary. February 13th is also the date of our first date when we were in the 9th grade. We went to his church's Sweetheart banquet and he brought me a corsage of pink sweetheart roses. My boquet at our wedding was pink sweetheart roses. Seems like we have had 3 lifetimes during this 37 years. We have done a lot of fun things and lived many interesting places during our life together. One of our favorite places to go together is Disney World and my favorite ride is the Rockin' Roller Coaster. It is SO fun, 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. Oh yeah, Aerosmith is blasting in your ears and it is dark with lots of neon.

Today after I picked Joshua up at school we decorated Valentines Day Cookies. I baked the cookies yesterday so they would be ready. He was very excited. I had bought a variety pack of cookie decorations and one of the colors was hot pink. I said lets do a hot pink one. He says he doesn't like hot. After I explained it to him he called the red and purple hot too. I decided to lay a clean towel on the counter so it would collect all of the "extra" sprinkles. You can tell by the expression on his face that it took a lot of concentration.
Of course we had to sample a few. I think we both like them best with no icing.
This is an icing recipe that I have had for years. It works great on any cookies and gets hard so you can stack the cookies. You can add flavoring and also dye it for the occasion.

COOKIE ICING
1 cup conf. sugar
1-2 tsp. Milk
1-2 tsp light corn syrup
Place sugar and milk in bowl and mix well. Add corn syrup and mix. Add coloring and or flavoring. Spread on cookies; add sprinkles if desired and leave to dry for about an hour. The length of drying time depends on how thick you spread the icing. Stack them up and you are ready to take them anywhere with no mess.

We just received the new fabric with the religious symbols, prayers and Bible verses. It is very nice and the colors are pretty.
