Wendie Cook served this delicious three-layer salad that includes pretzel crust, a cream cheese center, and strawberry top, after a light summer lunch. It was the perfect combination of sweet, creamy, and salty. She shared the recipe that she found on allrecipes.com. I would bet real money that nobody turns down seconds. Enjoy!

Tanner wasn’t waiting for me at the fence yesterday. Dakota and Tanner, my two oldest dogs, are always waiting for me at the chain-link fence.

We had a great time during our History Day Camp last week! Our campers included Morgan and Natilyn Bradford, Lucas LeFever, Ella Moss, Easton Schafer, Esmeriah Shields, Sterling Thomas, Corben Whittle, Eric Wilson, and Kyle Wright.

IF YOU EVER FEEL like taking a step back in time, and learning more about the history of this community, The Portal to Texas History has collected eleven decades of The Canadian Record in its newspaper archives, and while the collection is still incomplete, it is rich in information and offers an interesting perspective on how our lives have changed…and how they really haven’t, all that much.One word of warning…Do not do this if you have someplace to be or something to do in the next hour, or two, or ten. History is a time warp, and one in which the traveler can easily get lost. But if you want to beat the heat, and need an excuse to stay inside, this is an excellent one. We highly recommend. https://texashistory.unt.edu/explore/collections/TDNP/
