Making Memories



We had a fun night last evening.  We invited some of our grand kids over for a hot dog roast and smores making for a fun time.  My husband and son made a fire pit out of cement blocks, later to be replaced by river stones we have on our property.  The guys got the fire going.  I baked some beans....used Bush's original...two cans and added a couple tbsp. of brown sugar and a bit of molasses, some ketchup and tiny bit of mustard.  We roasted the hot dogs on sticks and then went onto the smores.
Then we sat around the fire and made memories. (Photo is from a past vacation in Tionesta)

Superhero Birthday Cake

 


My daughter made this cake for my grandson's Super Hero Birthday Party.
It took her a couple of days.  I'll have to ask her to send me the directions and I will
post it here.

The Bigger They Get



Mothering is tougher than I thought.
I imagined that when my kids were 24 and up,
my mothering would pretty much be over.

It's never been this tough.
"The bigger they get
The bigger the problems."
I have heard.

I thought it but a cute retort.

Brave the storm.
Was a breeze.
This, more a cyclone.

Just some peace.
Some smooth sailing.
A vacation that lasts
More than a day.
