The recipe.

Out Of This World Bars!

Crust

3/4 cup butter

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 1/2 cups flour

dash salt

Mix and pat into a 9 x 13 inch pan.  Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.

Filling

2 eggs beaten

2 tablespoons flour

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 cup dates,  cut fine.  (optional)

1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 teaspoon Vanilla

I usually do not add the pecans or dates and it tastes really good without.  I am sure it is also really good with the dates and pecans too.  

Mix and spread  on hot crust and bake for 25 minutes at 350 F.   Let cool.  

Frosting

4 tablespoons butter

3 oz cream cheese

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 almond flavoring (optional) 

Spread over the cooled bars.  

These bars are also really good if served a day later. 

Puppy Pictures!

Moose (isn't he adorable?!)

Little 'Runtie'.  Her real name is Peppermint Patty but she is better known as 'Runtie'.  She is very prissy.

Essie!  She is a doll!

Tiger.  Check out those baby blues!

Fatso!  (Mr. Dramatic)

Speckles!   She is definitely the Sweet -n- Spicy one of the bunch

Trail Ride

My grandpa and I went up riding near Red Feather last Saturday.   It was gorgeous because all of the aspens were turning.

A Blank sign by the trail.   All of the bushes around it were turning into the Fall colors.

Golden / Green Aspens. 

"Can I have a treat?  PLEASE!?!"
