Pineapple Upside Down Cake
One of the blessings for working at a church is that people show up to share their lives and hearts with the staff. People also bring you stuff from their kitchens, gardens or the shopping experiences of the day. People have given me tomatoes, green beans, tools, chili, clothes, pies of every kind, a wallet, candy, zucchini (which I don’t like), corn, canteen, strawberries, watermelon, hot peppers, a goat.
For many years a man named Ted Springer would bring over a pie that he just pulled out of the oven. His pies were always M-M-GOOD! He would call to see if anyone was in the office and then a few minutes later he would walk in the door of the office with this great smelling pie. Ted is no longer with us. He is with the Lord. We sure miss him and “HIS PIES”.

Today my mother and granddaughter made the office a Pineapple Upside down Cake. It was great. I just might take some home for my wife.
Below is a recipe for the cake if you have never had one.
Have a great day

Bananas
I like bananas! My wife likes bananas! My kids and granddaughter likes bananas! I guess we are a banana eating family. The problem is that you get them at the store and you can only buy a few because when you get home they go bad.
I have fixed the problem. I got some bags called “Green Bags” by Debbie Meyer. I can put the fresh bananas into these bags and for the next two week I don’t have to worry about my bananas. If I buy some that are really green I can have bananas for months. (LOL)
Thank God for people like Debbie Meyer, Betty Crocker, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, my wife and kids.

Our House
One of the many blessing’s in our lives is our home. It has been a shelter from the rain and snow. A place were family and friends has come together to share our lives, to grow together, to laugh, to experience the good times and bad. A place of retreat from all the responsibilities of our lives.
We all call that “HOME”
Over the year’s we have had family and friend’s stay with us and now we would like to invite you to share our home. For one weekend a month we are going to offer the people at Central Community a place to come up, away from their homes, lives and responsibilities. To stay at our house in enjoy the beauty of the Forrest and the mountains of Idyllwild. Come on up on Friday and stay till Sunday. Or if you can’t miss church leave on Saturday or Sunday morning.
It will be first come first served. So talk to us and we can set some dates. If it all goes well we might offer it twice a month. Welcome to our home. Come on up and we will set around the fire and share our lives with you.
Pastor Ken and Tricia
A peak at our home.
