Welcome Digital Scrapbookers

So glad you found me. Just come and sit a spell, it's time to go exploring. Life is an unscripted journey that if you're lucky enough, you capture it with words and photos.

Sugar and spice

This freebie is around one of our family traditions.

On the first Saturday after the Thanksgiving holiday, we (women folk) bake all our cookies.  This also rotates between our three houses.  It's a silly time for all us girls and I enjoy it so much.  It is not often I can get my daughter and daughter-in-law together.  With Christel being from the Phillipines, she always brings special recipes too.  We giggle, get flour everywhere and just plain have fun.  No one is allowed unless they are a girl.  And, for Allison, my granddaughter .... hopefully this will become someday part of her holiday traditions.

I have a secret wish .... 

Wouldn't it be special if I could have all the women of this family under one roof!!!  It only happened once and then I had no granddaughters yet.  When I lived in Texas, I did get my daughter that lives here in Iowa to come down for the holidays after she first married.  It is one of my most cherished memories ..... and my son ... who was seventeen at the time joined us!!!!!

Maybe one of these holidays I will have all three of my children and all my grandchildren together.  And there would be an EXCEPTION because I'd want everyone in the kitchen.   All the men, all the women and all the GRANDBABIES.  Who care about the mess ....

Here is today's freebie preview.
