This is a scene that has played out in my children's lives so many times. Cooking with Grammy. Sometimes both, sometimes one, as you see here.
Wisdom and skill passed on, along with a big dose of love and pride, not in self, but in accomplishment.
D. decided he wanted to make a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. Grammy said they would, but life being what it is, there was no time to do it until Grammy came to our house this weekend with a can of pumpkin and the determination to fulfill her grandson's desire to make something. This must have been a large desire because he never forgot about it, and he never got tired of the process. From start to finish he gathered ingredients, measured, mixed, poured and baked, Grammy with him the whole time, encouraging and teaching. When all was said and done:
And it tasted really good, too!
