I have always liked Mondays. Monday seems to give me renewed spirit to begin the week. I typically feel rested on this first day of the week. And, I know that in four more days, the weekend will again arrive.
When I think about Monday, I usually think of the old "Monday's Child". If you have forgotten how that goes, here 'tis:
Monday's Child is fair of face
Tuesday's Child is full of grace
Wednesday's Child is full of woe
Thursday's Child has far to go
Friday's Child is loving and giving
Saturday's Child works hard for a living
But the Child who is born
on the Sabbath Day
is fair and wise
and good and gay
To find the day you were born on and other interesting facts about that day, here is a fun site you can easily find which of the Monday Child descriptions fit you!
Greenview BLS Receives Donation
The National Bank of Petersburg presented a check to the Greenview BLS team which will used to help with the costs of training, equipment, insurance and other needs. If any of you have ever had to call the BLS into action, you know how caring and concerned these volunteers are. This team could be the difference between life and death. When you call 911 on your home phone or if you are home and call 911 on your cell, and you have a medical emergency, you may get to meet some of the fine members of the BLS team. These are highly trained people who want to help in your medical emergency situations. These people come from all walks of life, and include persons with medical training. A fine organization. Donate to the BLS when you can.

Recipe From a Menard Extension Cookbook
This happens to be my most favorite recipe in the whole cookbook. I have been making this Texas Cake recipe for years and it is wonderful. Sometimes I make 1/2 the frosting recipe for any Chocolate Cake that I make.....I just love the frosting. This recipe was submitted by 3 fine Greenview women - Ruth Simmering, Gladys Dennis and Lora Dowell. Mothers of my friends, with at least one still living.... and one of my followers' husband's grandmother.
Sift Together and set aside:
2 cups flour
1/2 teasp. salt
1 teasp soda
Cream Together:
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
Bring to a boil:
2 sticks margarine
1 cup water
4 tablspns cocoa
Add the hot mixture to the creamed ingedients and mix. Blend in the sifted dry ingredients and mix. Pour into a greased jelly roll pan 10.5 by 15 by 1 inch. Bake 375 for 20 minutes or until tests done. (Batter will be thin). Ice cake when hot...with:
Bring to a boil
1 stick margarine
6 tblspns milk
4 tblspns cocoa
Quickly mix in 1 box SIFTED powdered sugar and beat fast till blended. Quickly add 1 tsp. vanilla and 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Spread on hot cake. Note: this icing sets up fast after adding the powdered sugar....can thin with a little more milk, but it's best to work fast. YUMMY!
OUR PAST IS A MEMORY, OUR FUTURE IS WHAT WE MAKE OF IT. Greenview is here....it may be your memory, but it holds your past if you were ever a part of it.
Have a good day my friends.
