Grandmothering
I love to watch my grandchildren do their thing by attending football, baseball, soccer games, swim meets, dance recitals, violin recitals, choir concerts ~ it is so much fun to watch another generation discover new talents, improve their skills and have fun doing it! ~ The unconditional perspective of being a grandparents is amazing and gratifying. I see only my posterity on the field or the stage, looking for their smile or laugh or approval of what just went down~~
Last night I took Emma & Katelyn to see the production 7 Brides for 7 Brothers in Centerville....they were enthralled with the production, Katelyn squealed as the stage curtain rose up, they both knew a lot of the songs (from the movie) that were performed. It was a long production and yet these little girls' eyes never left the stage. Afterwards, I introduced them to the lead, Danny Inkley who I taught along side of my oldest son, Troy in primary. He lived just up the street and now has honed his talents with an amazing voice! We saw him later that night at In & Out with his own kids - Katelyn remarked as we were walking to the car, "you know Grandma, they look different up close!"................yep, they do, Emma!
I like being a grandmother. I think my main task in this role which began about 14 years ago is to make memories that my grandchildren will remember ~ Even sending phone messages to tell them about the "Harvest Moon"! (did ya enjoy that one, Mason?)

August 8th
It's almost midnight and 31 years ago Jennifer Jewkes Horton was just an hour and half away from being born!.....at 1:17 AM on 8/8/80!
She was an easy and fun baby/toddler and enjoyed by her brother and two sisters.
She's the pied-piper to kids and grown up kids alike! Parties go up a "notch" in noise and every other way when she arrives~
We love you sooooooooo Jen - many, many, many happy returns of this day!

~Chef's choice~
Ok, I love salads! .... But not the dry, tasteless pale iceberg lettuce that some buffets offer, with a yellow film over the dressing and garbanzo beans that look like they came from your grandmother's food storage~~that is not my idea of a good salad~
Cutler's Cookies, our local hometown sandwich/soup/salad deli now makes a spinach salad with strawberries, mandarin oranges, slivered almond and grated parmesan cheese thrown in. These ingredients are upon a bed of fresh spinach leaves! AND if that were not enough, it comes with a delicious poppy-seed dressing!
The reason I'm so happy about this addition to their menu is that it is the perfect size! I love Cafe Rio salads but never can finish them!! JUST TOO DARN BIG!
So thanks Stacey for introducing my palate to this yummy work of art! ~~ ** they only make a certain amount each day, so get there early!!
