My grandma and Aunt Jinny and Uncle Jay visited this past month. We enjoyed some special time with them in our home. I made a lemon mousse cake and set out my pretty dishes for an afternoon tea party. Then we brought them down to our "classroom" where they patiently toured the kids' school library, listened to a recitation of "Paul Revere's Ride," and provided the kids with an enthusiastic audience for an hour of show and tell. It meant the world to me that they would engage so wholeheartedly in all of the kids' excitement over what they are learning. They also gave me a large dose of encouragement in my homeschooling efforts. Floods of wonderful childhood memories came to me as I saw the kids' interaction with these dear members of my extended family.
My grandma presented me with a very special gift. It is an heirloom soup tureen that belonged to my great grandma, filled with family recipes. I have put it in a place of honor in my kitchen and can hardly wait to use it. Would you believe that it matches my new dishes perfectly?!
