My daughter used to put olives on her fingertips at that age, too. Now, at 17, she just opens the can and eats them all. Quite boring.

Lovely photo Pam and oh so cute. I've only just started eating olives since coming to Germany, now I can't get enough of them. So, I would have put grapes on my fingers!!!

Since I'm commenting on "The Dust Will Wait" under a comment from "The Dishes Will Wait" about some olives stuck on a cuties fingers, guess I'll go make me an extra dirty martini.

What a sweet picture. Of your granddaughter I assume. She's beautiful.

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, Pamela, and that your week has gotten off to a good start.

What a good use for black olives! Did you enjoy this little munchkin's company throughout the holiday? I've noticed a lot of grams getting to play in recent posts--much better that being the martyr cook for the holidays--and more memorable for the kids, I'm sure.

So cute... I tried to tell my six year old that all kids just have to put olives on their fingers at Thanksgiving, but she doesn't like them so refused! ;)

Love it! Just another little proof that we must be somehow related! Im sure we are! I mean really we have to be right? Either that or Karmyn and myself are dopplegangers from another planet!

Albeit, Buttercup is still very little but she is shaping up to be just like one of Karisma's kids! (Karmyn! Take her to church! Right now! Before its too late! Save her!)

It's photos like this that remind me why being a child is such a magical time - and why having precious time like this with grandparents is so very important.

I remember moments like this when I visited my grandparents, and they helped form the person I ultimately became.

She is beautiful. My kids would play with the olives rather than eat them too.

Fun Monday - Childhood Memories

Image
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...

Fun Monday

Quirky Lisa (Lisa's Chaos) is today's Hostess with the mostess quirks. She used the following instructions to enlighten us about today's topic: A quirk is defined as a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism. We are all unique individuals, having quirks that help make us who we are. I would like to know what your quirks are. Confess to one, confess to ten, you decide. Just come back Monday ready to spill the beans, the rest of the world may look at you like you are from Mars, but you‘re among friends here. We won’t laugh, in fact that eccentricity just may endear you to us more. Well ...I'm being as quirky as Swampwitch today. I'm sorta following the rules, and sorta not. Instead of hearing about my boring quirkiness, you are being treated to an old story about a quirky cat. * * * * Daggett was a cat with very odd behavior. I like to think she channeled my monthly mood swings. But, her excuse may be that her head was slightly injured in a c...

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...
