Time with Grandmother

Last weekend I spent time with my grandmother. I snapped green beans with her and peeled peaches and watched her intently as she made peach cobbler. Hers is the best peach cobbler I have tasted, so I wanted to see exactly what she does. I tidied around her house a bit, and just basically spent time chatting and fellowshipping with her. I had a great time.

My grandmother is a fabulous cook and excellent homemaker. She is very hospitable and gracious with a very kind and generous heart. I want to be a lot like her. It's my goal to glean as many cooking skills and recipes from her. It's so important to be able to cook well. I LOVE eating good food, and it's great when you know how to prepare it yourself. I'm an ok cook, but I'm striving to become an excellent cook and homemaker like my grandmother.

I enjoyed reading this. I love going to see my mother and grandmother. I take my children too(they only live 15 miles away). It is rare NOT to find them shelling peas, shucking corn, canning, or gardening. All their children are grown and out of the house, but this is a big part of their life style. I could slap myself for not actually paying attention to their hard work sooner. I am making up for it now. My girls and I have started our own gardens and I constantly get cooking advice from my mom and grandma. God Bless, I found your blog through LAF.
