Good morning Friends...
My Granddaughter Samantha likes to cook. A skill I tried to teach to our daughter, Crystal Anne...to no avail. She was more "tomboy" than Anne of Green Gables. A sports kinda girl...with no time for a hot stove. But that's okay...she makes a mean jalapeƱo popper nowadays.
I bought a recipe box a lot of years ago so I could, one day, leave granddaughter Samantha, a "bit of Gamma". While growing up she came to like different things like catsup on her scrambled eggs...potato soup...strawberry salad, etc., hence, the box. There is something magical and wonderful about that first granddaughter or grandson, both of which we are blessed to have. That "first" baby the doctor or nurse places into your arms is so special...an immediate bond forms that can't be explained...you have to have experienced it for yourself. And throughout your life, you cherish it. I suppose it's true when they say that you get another shot at raising your own daughter or son...not actually but emotionally. You would fight to the death for your daughter or son... without thought. Nothing can replace them in your heart. But I think grandchildren are God's way of saying these little lives are special and need the love and life only we can give them...so He loans them to us...what a wonderful gift.
I found this pretty recipe box in a bookstore...I think Barnes & Nobel. I'm putting all of my favorites in it for her.
Well, I broke down and visited Michael's yesterday. The last time I was there checking out their JoAnn acquisition was a few months ago. Highly disappointed. Well, I must say, things have improved. It's really looking like they are growing their fabric store. Getting rid of a lot of the children's things. I even punched the "help me" button and a lady carrying a Caramel Frozen Latte appeared and cut my chosen fabric! She was really nice...but the lady up at the checkout was awful. No hello...how are you...let me help...nothing...So, I smiled and asked Her how She was doing...fine, was the flat response. I think I made her mad that she had to work. I refuse to use the self-checkouts and that started her bad attitude. Anyone ever do you that way? She's always "angry" though. I'm not sure how to deal with it anymore.
