In the busy-ness of animal crises, I skipped mentioning our Kolache Festival day. Saturday, we went to the Kolache Festival and got to spend time with our granddaughters, our daughter-in-law, Nicole and Celina with her college friends. It was a perfect day. The weather was warm, but not hot and there were clouds most of the day. We just enjoyed ourselves walking around looking at booths and tasting the food. I fell in love with a litter of weimaraner puppies. Some were spotted and some solid. They were selling “puppy kisses” for a dollar to help the animal shelter. We gladly donated and passed the puppies around. We went to a quilt show and cooled off in the middle of the day and later got our stone ground blue corn. It is delicious!! We went to Nicole’s and talked with the kids. Nick lay down for a nap almost immediately. I visited with Hannah until I suddenly felt so tired. When I told her, she offered her bed. “Come on, Grammy. I’ll get you a blanket.” I think I was asleep before she left the room. We woke up and had a delicious supper before heading home. I think my happiest days have been spent with Nick and the family! They are all so precious to me!

What were your kolache’s filled with??

Kolaches? I thought our area knew what kolaches were!! Good Czech dessert! I had never heard of them until we moved back here to WI.

To find out more about the Kolache Festival, including a recipe, go to my daughter-in-law’s site, leanonfaith. My favorite fillings are blueberry, cream cheese and poppyseed. Nick likes cherry or strawberry. There are also prune and cottage cheese and probably others.
