Dessert Blast From The Past

I made this dessert for dinner one night last week and loved it!

My Mom used to make this for dessert all the time in these same Tupperware containers. It's nothing super fancy or hard - it's just Jello layered with Cool Whip - pretty simple and good. Over a year ago I was at her house and she was cleaning things out. She was ready to give these up so I said I'd take them. Last week was actually the first time I'd used them since getting them from her. I remember this dessert so well. It seemed as if it was a staple in our house! She would make them with strawberry banana flavored Jello or chocolate pudding. As I said, they were simple and good!

I have fond memories of these containers and that dessert. Maybe someday Lucy and Molly will think the same of it. :)

Flags

Each year for the past seven years that we've lived in our neighborhood, one of the streets has always been lined with American flags on Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and September 11. I think this is such a neat tradition and love seeing the flags when they are displayed. I have no idea who started this...if it's just one person that puts our the flags or each house or what, but it seems to grow each year with more flags. It's just a neat site to share!
