Locks Of Love

I am so proud of my granddaughter!
She donated her hair to Locks Of Love today.  http://locksoflove.org/
She looks so cute & is excited that maybe another little girl will get her hair.

Popcorn

Have you ever taken the time to look at popped kernels?  I found a sheep, a dog & a four leaf clover.  I didn't find Jesus, but I'll pop some more tomorrow.  I can't wait to show the grandkids.  What fun we'll have!  It doesn't take much to amuse them. Or me.

I Love These Stinkin' Things!

The excitement is in the air... Just enjoying ramps in the springtime, for me, is what it is all about.

Ramps are a delicacy, and eating them is a long standing annual tradition in West Virginia. Ramps peep up out of the ground just after the winter snow melts. The ramp eating season lasts roughly from April through May. Ramps have a scent and taste similar to an onion. The “little stinkers” are typically served with ham, bacon, fried potatoes, brown beans and cornbread. 

The downside of eating ramps is ramp breath. The mere scent of those who have recently eaten a mess of ramps has been known to clear a room. Ramp breath can only be described as a stench, a stench of a royal order. Garlic breath can’t hold a candle to it. The only immunity is to have eaten some yourself. While onion or garlic breath is usually gone by the next day, ramp breath lingers on for up to two or three days. The smell also oozes out through the pores of your skin.

Grab a handful while you can!

8 yr old: "No, it's not."
5 yr old: "Yes, it is."
8 yr old: "No, IT IS NOT."
5 yr old: "Yes, it is SISSY."
8 yr old: "Nanny, he keeps saying it's almost Easter."
Me: "It's okay."
8 yr old: "No, it's not. Nanny, you always let him say things that aren't true."
5 yr old: "I don't say things that are not true."
8 yr old: "Yes, you do. Everyone does."
5 yr old: "NANNY, SISSY CALLED ME A LIAR!"
8 yr old: "NO, I DID NOT ... HE'S LYING!"
5 yr old: "SEE ... SHE CALLED ME A LIAR!"
8 yr old: "NOT WHEN YOU SAID I DID. IT WAS AFTER THAT!"
5 yr old: "You still did it."
8 yr old: "It's okay, Bubby. Everyone has told a lie."
5 yr old: "Not Jesus. Or God."
8 yr old: "You forgot the Holy Spirit. Also known as the Holy Ghost."
5 yr old: "Jesus rised from the dead on Easter."
8 yr old: "Nanny, is it almost Easter?"
