Sad News

Just a note to tell you that Larry Ham passed away this morning.  They retired a few years ago and last year moved to the Tri-Cities to be closer to family.  We heard a couple of weeks ago that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (not a good one to get).  This morning at bishop's meeting I heard it was "stage 4", and then during priesthood they announce that he had passed away this morning.  There will be a graveside service in Sandpoint next Saturday.  Mom and I will probably see if we can stay at Kevin or Matt's Friday night and then drive on up Saturday morning.  They were good people and did a lot of volunteer work behind the scenes.  The men were all joking about playing basketball or handball with Larry and how much he sweat and that his t-shirts were always dripping wet.  He will be missed.

Kimbre was going through her new "America's Test Kitchen" cookbook when she found a quick dessert called "Nutty Butterscotch Haystacks." As she read of the ingredients, I found a striking similarity to the "Hong Kong Chewies" that Grandma used to make. Here is the final product:
There were some subtle differences between the two, but the end result was still delicious.
