"I'm Proud to be an American"
Every single table joined in the verse. It was very moving! It will be a memory I will hold for all Memorial Days to come.
My heartfelt 'thanks' to all who
serve or have served!

Cookies! Cookies!
It's cookie baking day! Over the river and through the snow to the Grand loves house we go ... and our sleigh will be loaded down with lots of gifts and baked goods. So today is cookie baking day at our house. And gift wrapping time this evening. We are heading out a week early to spend extra time with our little loves so they can get some 'baking with Grandma' done. I feel like Mrs. Claus with all my little elves as helpers. It's so cute, they all grab their little aprons and take their spots on the kitchen stools as they wait for their kitchen assignments. They love baking and I love teaching them. They take close note of the little secrets of cooking and every year I see the advances in their techniques. They look like a little assembly line when it comes to decorating the cookies etc. Today I'm baking cut out sugar cookies in several shapes and gingerbread boys and girls. It's a time saver having them pre-baked and ready for decorating. That enables us time for baking other cookies and candies. I foresee a lot of smiles and sticky fingers in my near future!
Pictures are of some of the sweets I baked last Christmas.

We are Blessed
While home for Easter our grand-loves entertained us with some guitar playing, fiddling, dancing, singing and of course lots of laughs. From their infancy on, I've been amazed as I watch each and every one of them develop their individual personalities’. Although their interests may differ they are each evolving with their own talents. While some love music, others may excel in the artistic fields or sports. Each is a treasure ~ they sparkle as individuals but they glow as a group. We are truly blessed!

Artificial Easter
CherShots photo
Tis the season of the 'artificial Easter.' Bunnies and colored eggs, candy and decorated baskets are just a few of the things about Easter that has absolutely nothing to do with Christ's sacrifice on the cross for our salvation.

Please don't go running off thinking I don't enjoy the beautiful colors and the tasty sweets, because I do. I just get a bit saddened that there are so many people out there that either don't know or don't acknowledge what the true meaning of Easter is all about.

Who would have thought
that seeing a bird
that seeing a bird
would inspire someone
to take an egg
