Granddaughter Kylie ate her cream puff and then licked the chocolate sauce off the plate. Kylie on her second cream puff. Grandson Colton enjoyed his first cream puff at Nana Liz’s house. Three lonely cream puffs at the end of the feast. I forgot to take a photo of the plate full of ready-to-eat [...]

Only took about an hour to weed the garden today. Can’t believe I have finally gotten in the habit of weeding every week, but it surely does keep the weeds down. Soaker hoses are doing a pretty good job, but have 2 of the 50 footers that do not seep as well as some of [...]

My grandson, Bryce, rinsed the dishes after we had Christmas Eve dinner. He and his sister, Kylie, really do like to help and actually get their feelings hurt if you don’t find something for them to help with. Many times they ask: “Can I help?” and mean it. Kylie has helped me with the dishes [...]
