RED WHITE AND BLUE JELLO LAYERS
Some words of wisdom.
A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world. ~ George Santayana
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. ~ Edward Abbey
A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works. ~ Bill Vaughan
Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. ~ John Quincy Adams
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. ~ John F Kennedy
RED WHITE AND BLUE JELLO LAYERS
1 large packet cherry jello
2 large packets blueberry jello

Dissolve the contents of the blueberry jello package into 1 cup boiling water. Then add 1 cup cold water. Pour into 9x13 pan & put in fridge until firm.
While the first layer is setting in the fridge, make the milky layer. Mix 1 can sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup boiling water. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 tablespoons or 2 pkg unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water.

Once the first layer is set, spoon the milk mixture over first layer of jello. Refrig for 15 - 30 minutes.
