Our Matriarch

I have this beautiful picture on my Ancestry.com family tree. Isn't she striking? I really think so. Mom, if you see this, we love you!!

Look what I found!!!

This video was found in a folder of picture "throwup" on one of Dad's external drives. Avery was even a "smart little cookie" then. Hope you enjoy it.

An Anniversary Celebration

What a celebration it was!! 100 years of one of the best cookies ever made. I couldn't believe I finally found some Hydrox cookies today. Limited edition too. Well, after dinner you know what I did....ripped that baby open and enjoyed a few of the tasty creations. I really prefer these over Oreo's. I thought they went out of business. I hope they stay around and are easily found for the late night snacks we succumb to much too often!!

Whooo's this?

Do you recognize this person? Does this person recognize herself?? She probably won't see this because I don't think she even knows I have a blog and I don't have her email address to invite her. All the more reason for putting this picture up for the world to see!!

Whoooose out there?

As Colleen wrote a while back on her blog, she knows people are just reading the blog and not leaving comments. I'm wondering if that's happening here on "Grammie's Goodies". I think I might start to scan in old photos of family and friends(if I have any......pictures I mean. I have friends.) Maybe by doing that someone will write and beg me not to. I think I'll start with one of my sisters! Sooo, everyone(or anyone) If you're a reader and not a writer, I invite you to take a minute and let me know you're out there. Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.

Now, as all 5 of us know,(me, C, L, B &K), we are probably the only ones who even know I have this blog. Oh yeah, Dad looks in once in a while(but not commenting). So maybe this post is pointless. We'll see.

Mini Vacation #2

This past weekend, Dad and I went to the 163rd Dutchess Co. Fair in Rhinebeck which is billed as the 2nd largest county fair in NY. We strolled around for a while visiting the arts and crafts and merchandise buildings and then we went our separate ways and I made my way to FOOD! Dad did too. I treated myself to dessert and had Apple Crisp...loaded with tasty apples and a great topping which included oatmeal(like I make mine) and vanilla ice cream. Yummy. We only stayed a few hours and then hit the road and traveled up to see Leslie, Chris and the kids for the weekend and into Monday. Dad helped Chris with a few "getting ready to move" projects, Leslie and I hit the local Goodwill and scamped up a lot of children's books, we all went out to eat at "Reader Robin" as Mitchell calls it(Red Robin) and we just hung around enjoying the 2 kids. It seemed too short but it sure is nice having them so close that we can zip up there for a weekend or even a day if need be. Soon, they will be even closer as they prepare for their next big move to West Point. Can't wait you guys.

Forgot the links

I ran out of room in my previous post where I promised to send the links. Here they are..
