First Give Away---What's Your Favorite Song

-
I am so excited!

From what I can understand it's a "blog" kind of thing to do to have give-aways.

I love that idea. What's more fun than giving things away?

So I decided "Then I Thought of Home" will have its first give-away this week.

You know I love shopping local and I love my friends so if I can shop local with a friend well I'm gonna be all about it.

So I have a $20.00 gift certificate to Julie's Gift Garden. It's located on Elm Street in Salem.

She has all kinds of pretty Christmas things, candles, purses, mugs, centerpieces, homemade candies, treats for your pets, there is to much to list.

All you have to do to win is tell me your favorite Christmas song.

Since it's late in the game and in the week the contest will only run until Wed. night.

We'll draw at nine o'clock Wednesday evening and let you know who won.

I'll mail  the certificate to the winner Thursday.

You can leave your favorite song as a comment here or on the Blog Facebook Page.

I'm so excited!!!!

Oh, by the way, don't tell Mark I'm giving things away on here.

No reason to stress him here at Christmas time.

Raisin Pie....AN OLD FASHIONED FAVORITE

-

Some of you requested the Raisin Pie recipe so here it is. I had never had a raisin pie until I married into the Gray family. Mark loved them and when I was given a bridal shower before we married, everyone was asked to bring a recipe. Marilyn Losson brought this one. I have to admit as a young wife I let it sit in the recipe box for a little while but once I took it out, it just kept coming back out. Mark's grandpa Gray loved a raisin pie and so we took this over to his house often and of course we took a half gallon vanilla ice cream along with us. When Lucas came in the other day and saw this on the counter he said the first thing he thought of was Grandpa Herman. The girls aren't crazy about this pie but Lucas likes it and he likes it with ice cream too, so I'm thinking it's a Gray man thing. Okay, so here we go, the recipe is..... 2 cups seedless raisins 2 cups water 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp. salt 1 Tbs

Then take a sharp knife and make eight fairly deep slices across the top of the bread. Brush the top of the bread with Italian salad dressing. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
