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 jalapeño 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.
Air Fryer pork ribs and zucchini
A yummy Cinnamon Roll...
Homemade Banana Pudding
Larry made Hamburger steaks with mushroom sauce and green beans and potatoes.
Egg omelet with sausage and cheese.
I saw this on someone's blog but can't remember who's!
Exactly how I feel sometimes! lolol...
So... Thanks for visiting me! I hope and pray you all are doing well and are enjoying better days...
So... until next time...

Customer Service is sure lacking in some places. That is a beautiful recipe box filled with your recipes!
I've seen both of these quotes and pics, so we must have the same blog friend haha. Oh, I love the fact that you are making a recipe box of grandma's recipes for Samantha. And you're right, first born grandchildren hold a special place, as they were the first delights of our heart. I've never been in the fabric section at Michael's, but I LOVE browsing through the home section, especially with the seasons. Yummy food on here today, and don't ya just love omelets? Larry's hamburgers with mushroom sauce and green beans looks pretty amazing too. And that cinnamon roll!! Always a pleasure visiting with you, Donna, and I appreciate your charming posts every time. : )

I feel the same way about my Grands. I cherish every time we are together. Love the cartoons and quotes. I'm right there with you.
Love the recipe box and know Samantha will love it too.
Customer Service is a lost art most of the time. A smile won't break the face for sure. Its so hard to be nice to angry, unhappy people.
(((hugs)))
