My New Kitchen Favorite Thing ......

A Cuisinart 4-in-1 Crock Pot with programmable temperature and cook time, retractable power cord, and wait for it ........ brown and saute option! Now the need for a second pan to brown a roast, pork chops, etc is for ever forgotten. Saves clean up time and late nights prep time. The Crock pot produces dishes reminiscent of my Mother's cooking slow and flavorful.

The memory of my Mother in her kitchen is a very favorite things!

My new one pot wonder

Old fashioned Pot Roast, Potatoes, Carrots and Onions
10 hours later Yummmmmy!

Try Again.....

Well, my first post did not go quite as I expected!

The power went off!

I hope that is not a sign of things to come.

It seems to me the first post on my first blog should have been my beautifully crafted introduction to the world of blogging.  But such was not the case.  So I will try again.  The pressure of eloquence is gone and I think I will just start typing.

Right now, I think this blog will be a collection of random things I enjoy and want to remember. Because I am baby boomer blogger, I may need to depend on this blog to help me..........what?...... Oh, yes, as I was saying, remember many wonderful, random, favorite things.

Hummm... Looks ok. There are more than two lines of type, that's good.  I think I should try to include a picture in this first post. Here goes......

My Two Favorite Little Boys

Wow!! I did it! This granny may be able to do this bloggin' thing.


Guess I should add a caption.









The little boy on the right is my amazing grandson.  He is the one who changed me from Mom to Gramma.  There is a little quote I read the other day that said it well.  "A Grandchild fills a space in your heart you never knew was empty." 

And he has and  he does! 

The little boy on the left is also my grandson, because his Mommy is the daughter of my best friend and they are willing to share him with my husband and me.

We all hope these little boys will become "best buds".  Looks like they are off to a great start.

There will not be many pictures of friends and family posted here, as I want to be respectful of everyone. If friends and family give their permission I may add pictures now and then, because friends and family certainly are some of My Favorite Things.

Watch for that one unique blessing God will give you today.
