A Meal to Impress !

Image
"Learn to cook at least one meal to impress !" - that's what I was taught. I can cook an impressive taco dish. In fact, my tacos were sooooo good, it was impressive to my now husband. I think that's one reason he chose to continue to date me and later marry me! LOL!  I was talking about learning to cook at least one meal with my granddaughter Olive. I told her, it's a good idea to be able to cook at least one meal perfect - to impress! To take to a potluck, to cook for a boyfriend (a potential husband) to cook for a family who just needs a meal.  My Olive picked out a menu and we've been perfecting it for about a year.  Of course for dessert is a Trifle. She has always liked Trifles! Since Olive Could Help in the Kitchen She Always Enjoyed Creating a Trifle Dessert! Olive's Menu to Impress: Bruschetta, Pasta Casserole and a Berry Trifle Finished Meal to Impress! So Proud of You Olive! We've always have sooo much fun together in the kitchen!  You NEVE...

The Heartbreaking Ripple Effects of Divorce: A Grandmother's Plea

  The Heartbreaking Ripple Effects of Divorce: A Grandmother's Plea Life's fragility struck me recently - both through my own health challenges and by witnessing Jay Leno's remarkable resilience after his recent fall. Like Jay Leno, who returned to work swiftly despite injury, I'm learning to move forward with determination, understanding that adversity doesn't define us, but how we respond to it does. As Thanksgiving approaches, a deeper pain weighs on my heart - the silent epidemic of divorce that tears families apart more thoroughly than any physical ailment. This week, in a crowded waiting room, I discovered I wasn't alone. Surrounded by fellow grandparents, aunts, and cousins, we shared stories that echoed with haunting similarity - tales of alienation, false accusations, and heartbreaking separations. Bonding over vibrant hair and endless laughter 💜 My granddaughter Olive has become the unwitting victim of this familial destruction. Knowing she...

Reflecting on childhood dream of being a Ninja! LOL!

Image
  Ninja, is what I want to be when I grow up! LOL!  "What do you want to be when you grow up Belle?" I had always wanted to be a Mom, but for some reason that wasn't an acceptable answer to the above question at school. It should of been. But that's another post.  So, since being a mom wasn't acceptable to teachers, I would always say a Ninja. For several years I had a black Ninja costume that I would wear for Halloween! Eventually the costume didn't fit right anymore! I would tell people as a child I wanted to be Ninja because I wanted to somehow fight for Justice, similar to a superhero and ninja legends are all I knew.  My memories of being a Ninja resurfaced as my granddaughter ends her year at  taekwondo. Great Job! on your Belt Test Olive!!!! My husband, Son and Daughter all took taekwondo lessons at some point in their lives! Wow, I can't believe my granddaughter enjoys taekwondo. Great Job!
