We just got home from having dinner at my parents house. My mom made the absolute best casserole I have ever eaten. It's called Baked Chicken Salad. It is absolutely going on my list of favorite foods..MMM MMM Good! I will be adding the ingredients to my grocery list for sure..
When we went by to see my folks yesterday, Bessie took the helicopter she'd built from the erector set. My dad was enjoying tinkering around with it and said " I always wanted an erector set when I was a boy " The way he said it was so wistful. My dad had a hard life growing up due largely in part to a Step-Mother that was just plain mean. So when the girls and I left I was pondering to myself what life must have been like for my dad growing up. Coincidentally The girls in unison said " We want to buy Papaw an erector set.." They decided it was just terrible that he'd never had one. So each chipped in some of the money they got as Christmas gifts and bought him an erector set and wrapped it up. I wish you could have seen his face when he opened it... I am not sure if it was the erector set itself or just knowing that he means so much to the girls but either way the look on his face was just too wonderful for words.
The joy of giving is even better than the joy of receiving isnt it!
I am off to soak some beans...
