Woodland Cove Folk Art Painting


"Woodland Cove"


I added this painting to my ebay auctions this week.

On Saturday nights, Bernice and Horace host a little get together with their neighbors. The women get the food prepared while the men get out the dominos for an evening of good food and fun games. Ethel and Walter introduced their new neighbors Flora and John to their hosts at church and they all became quick friends. The close knit community of Woodland Cove nurtures their friendships and is always there to lend a helping hand.



Wouldn't it be great to live on you own little island with you best friends and neighbors just a boat ride away. Take some time this week to invite some friends over for food and games. You'll feel so blessed and wish you had done it sooner. Here is a recipe for the chicken salad sandwiches that the ladies served:

"Chicken Salad"


Boil together in a 6 quart saucepan


4-4 1/2 lb. stewing chicken (I like chicken breasts)


1 Med. onion quartered


1 large carrot sliced


1 bay leaf



Mix :


1 lb. seedless grapes


2/3 cup mayo


1/4 cup milk


2 T. cider vinegar


1/8 tsp. pepper


1 cup diced green pepper


1 1/2 tsp. salt (I use 1 tsp. or less)


1/2 cup California walnuts or Cashews


1 cup sliced celery


Add chicken and mix.

  2. It WOULD be a dream to live on an island with all the people that mattered. I'd love it even more if it was a warm island. :)

    Hugs,
