Would You Read This?

I am debating starting a second blog that is for our family geneology, if anyone would want to read it. As I am working on collecting records and stories, I am going to digitize it all for posterity. I am wondering if anyone would be interested in seeing and reading about what I find on a new blog. I also thought that if anyone has any other photos or stories that they would like to add, I can give you access to add what you'd like. Please let me know-- otherwise I will just keep it on my flash drive.
Also, there are names that are ready for endowments on the Flessert side, and some various other things on the Wehrley side. Please let me know if you would like to help, because we would like to complete the endowments and consolidate all the sealings to be done at the same time if possible. (it's best to just email me at briannasgallery@yahoo.com and I can get you the cards or give you easy instructions to get them yourselves) Thanks!

Valentine's Treat (in less than 10 minutes)

So who wouldn't love an easy recipe for chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness? I am telling you upfront that you will love these-- so make these when other people are around because you will definitely get sick when you devour them all by yourself!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

In large bowl combine:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
heat in microwave for 2 minutes

stir in: 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp salt
fold in: 1 cup rice krispies
2 cups corn flakes

Press into 9x13 pan

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in microwave and pour on top, spreading over entire pan.
Refrigerate for 5 minutes or longer to help the chocolate set.
Enjoy!

Tips: I have found corn syrup at the Dollar Store-- as opposed to at the grocer for $3+.
Also, I have forgotten to add the vanilla and salt before, and the difference is not noticeable.

First Mormon Woman in Dallas

I was recently reading a book on motherhood titled, "Things I Wish I'd Known Sooner...Personal Discoveries of a Mother of Twelve" by Jaroldeen Edwards. Near the end of her book she tells an interesting story that I thought I would share.
"As women we have a unique, vibrant, and rich heritage that must be preserved. We should weave it into our daily lives and teach it to our children. It is the gold that we should garner from the ashes.
I recently researched the life of the first Mormon woman in Dallas. Eliza was converted by missionaries in Rockwall, a small community about 30 miles east of Dallas. At seventeen she married a neighbor's son, whom she fell in love with at first sight.
How Eliza loved the gospel! When she and Kelsey finally decided they must move to Dallas to find work, she wept all the way, feeling she was going to the ends of the earth. On the wagon trip, she took a pile of church tracts and dropped them from the wagon as they traveled, leaving a trail of missionary opportunities from Rockwall to Dallas. She prayed people would find the pamphlets on the road, pick them up, read them, and then search for the church.
The first tiny church meetings in Dallas were held in Eliza's home. She has lived to see seven stakes organized in Dallas (1991), and her own beloved grandson, Floyd Humphries, was the architect of the Dallas Temple. In women such as Eliza, we see the patterns of aspiring to grow, yearning to know more, and bequeathing a meaningful legacy."
What legacy will you leave?
