Making Scratch

My five years old grandson Dominic spent the night with me on Saturday. Whenever Dominic spends the night we alway bake something on Sunday for a treat. This is the conversation we had on Saturday night....

Nana: So Nic Nic what do you want to make tomorrow?
Dominic: Nana can we make some scratch for Aunt Kelly's kids?
Nana: What!!
Dominic: Mommy said Aunt Kelly's kids can only eat scratch because they are allergic to everything else, so can we make some for them?
Nana: I think mommy means Aunt Kelly has to make everything from scratch for the kids.
Dominic: What does that mean?
Nana: It means Aunt Kelly has to make everything, she doesn't use anything that comes in a box or package. Tomorrow we can make a cake & icing from scratch so you can see what I mean.
Dominic: OK, that sounds good

So on Sunday morning I got all the ingredients together & supervised Dominic as he made a cake & icing from scratch. Once he was all done & I tasted the icing I said....
Nana: Wow Nic Nic we really did a good job, this icing is really good.
Dominic: (With his hands on his hips, looks at me with a look of discuss & says), What do you mean we? I did all the work, you didn't do anything....
Nana: Speechless, but Grampie was busting a gut in the livingroom.

Later as we cleaned up we had this conversation
Nana: we made it all from scratch not a box or package.
Dominic: No we didn't, the sugar & flour were both in packages
Nana: Yep, I guess your right. But I don't know how to make sugar & flour so this is as good as its going to get.
Dominic: Well then I guess it will have to do

I will post pictures of the cake making later

On My Own

Well here it goes, my first entry without my tech support (Kelly). I just wanted to let everyone know that the castle next door to us has opened. The Black Diamond Hope House will be home to 6 adults with developmental disabilities & an around the clock staff of 4. They had a public open house today, and let me tell you the place is beautiful. If you will like to know more about the Black Diamond Hope House, you can visit thier website @ www.krysti.org

Well now that I can do a post myself, my next goal is pictures. So as soon as Kel can help me I will post pics of my beautiful grandchildren. I don't know what is taking her so long to come up & help me. After all she home schools, so its not like she has alot to do (hee hee), just kidding. I love you Kel & I am very proud of you.

However, I did figure out have to get the pics from my new digital camera on to my computer.
Now I just have to figure out how to move them into a blog.

Jay, Rock, Mag, Aaron, Park, Chloe, Dominic and Brendyn this is for you.......I love & miss you guys & I hope to see you soon.

It all started...
