Are you enjoying summer vacation? Nice it's not sweltering hot (perhaps just not a pool year). But there are a lot of other fun things to be doing. Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th, my son was invited to have fun at a cottage at Honeoye Lake while we stayed home and had dinner with flag napkins and red plastic plates for the occasion. Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie....from Weight Watchers (how fattening could it be?) Servings 10 Ingredients
1/2 cup reduced-fat peanut butter Ready Crust 25% Less-Fat Graham Cracker Ready pie crust Instructions 1. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together peanut butter and both types of cream cheese until smooth.

I received an e-mail from Beth Castle, so, of course, I just had to ask if they were related to Karen and Richard of Sodus. They are.... Karen & Rick are her husband's Uncle & his wife Aunt Karen with Johnny. Beth's mother-in-law is Freda Castle (Johnny's Godmother). Beth Lumadue (Castle now), ran cross country & track and graduated in 1990. She has two pictures up in the high school from us winning the Sectional meets in 1986 &1987 to proceed to States.
