As you probably know, unless you are new to my blog, George grows beautiful Hybrid Tea and Grandiflora Roses. He has about 50+ different bushes in our yard. ME? I just get to enjoy them. I have a bench in the front yard where I can sit and smell and view these beauties. George also brings a blossom or bud inside, most every single day during the season for me to enjoy. Wow--who could ask for a better life than I have?????

Several of you requested the recipe for my Orange Balls... I usually double the recipe--since I have to share with family. Here 'tis!!!
Betsy's Orange Ball Recipe
(came from her mother)
3/4 cup conf. sugar
1 lb. vanilla wafers-crushed
1 stick margarine--softhened
1 cup (or less) chopped nuts
6 oz can frozen orange juice (thawed and undiluted)
1 can or package of shredded coconut
Mix first five ingredients together and form into balls---roll in coconut. Do not bake. Makes about 4 doz. depending upon size. I keep them in the refrigerator. They seem to get better as they age a little.
Hugs,
