One-0n- One time, German Pancakes & S'berry jam

I guess we never get too old for one-on-one time with Mom...right? It is something I cherish, since all of my children have grown and left the nest. Little birds are nurtured from their mothers and are all hungrily bidding for food--

Yesterday I spent several hours with Tara visiting with Austin & Jackson playing with Allie while the girls were at school. I don't know about Tara, but I felt the time was well spent as if "talk time." I even had ten minutes jumping on the trampoline with the kids; they really thought it was a hoot to see grandma jumping with them and making them go even higher than by themselves.



I got up early again this morning and rather liked the quiet hour to myself. I read Helaman Chapter six. I am pleased to have read and see how the past warns us about our current events going on in the world. All I can say is and suggest is that I felt the need to really stay close to the spirit through reading the Book of Mormon regularly to know and discern these times we are in the midst of.

This coming election is a pivotal event. A lot depends on truth and righteousness to prevail. I pray the masses will be informed to know the left from the right so to speak, if not literally. Please I beg everyone of you who read this to do not be complacent or apathetic about the political scene. I was impressed at how informed Tara is about these things as she shared what she learned about the candidates from subscribing to Newsweek. She gave me a couple of old issues to read up on it.

I made German Pancakes for breakfast. The kids loved them. It was a choice between those or crepes. I opted for the baked fluffy eggs topped with homemade strawberry jam. Aislyn, Ella, & Parker besides Aaron & Candice love it when I whip up theirs on Sunday mornings..they like theirs with syrup and raspberry jam. I don't mind the time it takes to do things like this for my family. It serves them and blesses me.

How do you like the Playlist music selections? Beth helped me set it up. Some of the songs I wanted must be unavailable, sorry about that. I really like what were accessible. Josh Groban has the "So She Dances," on a CD, but was not playing. I have that CD and play it sometimes. It is on my iPod.

Once I get the hang of it I can update and change some of them. That Danny Boy version was not familiar to me. I picked an instrumental but maybe the MoTab Choir version will fly better...whatever. I hadn't heard Harry Connick, Jr's version. He reminds me a little of Frank Sinatra. Whoa, that dates me..age wise. Hmmmmmm.

I think I left my camera at home and my photo files are not with me, but on my computer at home. So watch for some editing later with the pictures.
