Mail for St. Patrick’s Day

The Kindergarteners write holiday cards and mailed them to their grandparents. I love this message.

Home Sweet Home Throwback Thursday

My grandmother, the one who taught me to knit, crocheted this antimacassar or doily. I stitched it onto a plain velveteen pillow. It’s at my sister’s.

School is a 2 hour delay Monday morning.

Sourdough Banana Bread

My granddaughter Maura baked Sourdough Banana Bread last week and sent a picture. I’d given her some sourdough starter a couple of weeks ago.

I felt inspired to try and bake it myself. Needed just 3 ripe bananas.

These little glass muffin cups held the leftover batter from the larger loaf.

Here’s the recipe I used. It was really good
