Hodgepodge

 

How can it be Wednesday again ... so soon?! 
Nevertheless, I'm grateful for a distraction.  There's lots going on I'll probably share a little later.  Prayers appreciated!

Thanks for these questions, Joyce!

Next Sunday is Grandparent's Day.  Share a favorite memory, photo, recipe or something you learned from a grandparent.

I've not tasted Grandma Hanson's lefse in decades, but the memory of its buttery goodness is hard-wired in my brain.

Every time we had occasion to visit her Minnesota farmhouse, I'd make a beeline for the freezer chest.  Once warmed, I'd spread butter and sprinkle sugar, fold it into a neat roll ... and try to consume my own body weight in potato and lard. (lol)

September is National Preparedness Month.  Does your family have an emergency plan?  do you have some sort of preparedness kit you keep on hand?  If so, tell us one thing that's kept there.

Living in "tornado alley", absolutely!

Based on the advice of a contractor, the first things I bought were helmets.  (His words, "99% of fatalities are a result of head trauma.")

Insert your own random thought here.

Thanks for your sweet comments on my creamer-turned-vase!
Speaking of creamers, here's the evolution of what once sat atop Grandma Hanson's kitchen table.

... and now resides at the make-up mirror.

Be sweet!

Hugs, Myra
