Cherry (or Blueberry) Cream Cheese Squares

Crust:
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 stick margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13" baking pan. Mix crumbs, powdered sugar, and margarine. With a fork, press mixture evenly into the bottom of greased pan. Set aside.

Cream cheese filling:
1 cup sugar
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, beaten

Blend sugar and softened cheese until smooth. Add beaten eggs and beat until smooth. Spread over the crust and bake for 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Fruit topping

1 (21-ounce) can cherry or blueberry pie filling
2 tablespoons lemon juice

When the baked cream-cheese mixture has cooled completely, prepare the fruit topping. Stir lemon juice into pie filling and spread over the cream cheese mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate until serving time.

Love At Home

There is beauty all around
When there's love at home.
There is joy in every sound
When there's love at home.

Roses bloom beneath our feet,
All the earth is a garden sweet,
Making life a bliss complete,
When there's love at home.

-- John Hugh McNaughton (1829-1891)
