Sweet Taters (Grandma's Brag Book)

(A shout out to Chuck and Deb, John and Mary and Dave and Deb for being such fun and entertaining weekend guests. We had a ball. Thank you so much for coming, for letting me feed you non-stop, and for listening to me go on and on about cooking and blogging. I love you guys. I'm sure the neighbors love that I kept you full, sober and sleepy which kept the outside uproar to a minimum. Please come back soon!)

I wasn't going to post tonight until my daughter-in-law sent me this photo of Gavin enjoying his sweet potatoes. Oh my, how much I miss the little guy and can't wait to see him (and them) next weekend. I'll be taking a photo of him enjoying (or spitting out) the strained green beans I made for him last week. Grandma loves you little Bean.

Co Irker said...: First, I can't believe how big he is!
Second, I can't believe how cute he is - he obviously takes after you!

And we are holding our breath and crossing our fingers and sending out a little prayer that your sweet tater will grace us with his presence on Friday. Please? Please? Pretty please?

I'd even sacrifice our sweets - he'd be treat enough.

(But if you have something already made you could bring that too); September 2, 2010 at 6:46 AM
