Yesterday my brother came over with his kids & we baked Grandma Cecil's oatmeal cookies. There was one ingredient I couldn't read so we left it out. It turned out it was baking soda which explains why all of my grandmother's cookies were so flat. It tickled me pink to realize this. I loved my Jewish grandmother dearly & have many fond memories of celebrating our heritage with her & my Paw Paw. I do also remember her not being able to cook to save her life, but she was precious all the same!
My niece spent the night last night & we 'slumber partied'. According to her it meant staying up past 10:00. lol! Today the Easter Bunny left her some goodies & I also remember as a child celebrating the fun part of Easter. Hunting for Easter eggs!!! So she is all dressed up in her Easter dress waiting for her momma to pick her up so she can go do the same.
The holidays bring back only happy memories. I have to attribute this to my parents always being so laid back & cool & my grandparents bringing the only sense of heritage I had to light. I miss my grandparents dearly & maybe some day I can fulfill the role they played in my life. I hope all the youngsters get instilled in them the importance of grandparents & where they come from.
Peace & Love to everyone!!!
