Jimmy Carter was celebrated Saturday at his presidential library and museum in Atlanta ahead of his 99th birthday on Sunday. Many attendees said the celebration is another step in the evolution of how Carter is remembered. Marcia Rose was not old enough to vote for Carter but remembered him for helping low-income and minority Americans. Younger voters praised Carter's emphasis on the environment. Older well-wishers said history has proven Carter right on controversial decisions like relinquishing the Panama Canal and not attacking Iran in an attempt to free American hostages. Carter will celebrate his birthday Sunday privately with his family at his home in Plains.
Jason Carter, former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson, said his grandfather is "physically diminished,” but he’s still following politics.

Make and share this Rosalynn Carter's Cheese Ring recipe from Food.com.
July 7 was also a momentous date for President Jimmy and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. They were married 65 years ago on this day in 1946 at the Plains Baptist Church in Plains, GA.. It is the second longest marriage in the history of US presidential couples. Hmm. What was that bull feces about Democratic family values again? While you Republifools flap your gums about it, this man lived those values. He also put us during his presidency on a course of emphasizing human rights in our international dealings with the world that you GOP fools ruined under the last mispresidency. . Y'all know I have much love for and respect for President Carter because until President Clinton came along, he was the champ in terms of appointing African-Americans and other POC's to his cabinet, federal judicial benches and his administration. He was trying to get the US on the road to energy independence and energy efficiency during his term. He established the Strategic Petroleum reserve that we can tap into when needed, got a lasting peace treaty done between Egypt and Israel, and signed the treaty returning the Panama Canal to that nation He also started the tradition of acknowledging June as Black Music Month as well. And the conservafools still hate on him and call him a 'failed president' for doing so. But back to President Carter, the First Lady and their long time marriage. Congratulations on your long time marriage and your 65th wedding anniversary! May you continue to have many happy years together.
Former President Jimmy Carter, who underwent hip surgery last spring following a fall, plans to resume his decades-long role as a volunteer house builder with Habitat for Humanity this fall, a spokeswoman for the Carter Center confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.
The diagnosis was shared as Carter's husband, former President Jimmy Carter, has been receiving hospice care.
Today I share this wonderful appetizer made famous by Rosalynn Carter, wife to 39th President Jimmy Carter. Fun Fact! We are related to the Carter's! Well, my husband is...so I claim it by marriage. Rosalynn is my husband's mother's great aunt. Far off related but hey it's our only family claim to fame other than being related to the blue ribbon winner for pickled pig's feet at the 1983 Arkansas state fair! I did a little bit of my own thing with this recipe. I used green onions instead of a regular onion. I also added far more than a dash cayenne and I did it to the strawberry preserves. Another thing is you have to shred your own cheese. Don't use the pre shredded because it won't hold together properly. This appetizer is absolutely delish and perfect for potlucks and picnics! I shaped mine in a vintage Tupperware mold for extra pizzazz!

"I just think none of us really understand what it’s like for him right now,” Jason Carter told Southern Living

The time! Oh, it flies. Michael and I have just about settled into our new place. Work and school have wound back to their frenetic paces, but we love living in Decatur, and the pockets of time …
We always had this at my grandparents on Christmas Eve. A coworker of mine, brought this into work a couple of years ago, and I got this recipe from her. It tastes just like I remember. It's just one of those recipes for me, that brings back memories of childhood. Plus I think it tastes pretty darn good. Cook time includes refrigeration time.
