    Won’t You Let Me Take You On A Sea Cruise 2.0…

    April 19, 2021 /

    April 12, 2021 /

    Our mom Betty was one of Starbucks biggest fans and, with Starbucks celebrating its 50th anniversary a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like the perfect time to revisit our post about Betty and the power of a cup of Starbucks coffee in her life. So, here is that post originally published in March of 2020.

In case there was any question about the identity In case there was any question about the identity of the above earnest young musician, a kind soul chose to clarify. That kind soul was our grandmother who had a habit of identifying the subjects in old photographs…. We have an extensive collection😊.
.
In this particular case, there was no need for the identification. We are well aware that this is our Mom.
Side note: we hesitated for a brief minute to post this photo, but decided that she would have thought it funny🤣.

Middle Sis and her hubby are in the middle of moving mania after making the decision to relocate to be closer to family.  Right now they are surrounded by boxes and are busy trying to figure out if/where everything fits in their new house.

As kids growing up we always looked forward to rec As kids growing up we always looked forward to receiving a cracker box full of grandma’s shortbread cookies at Christmas.

This Christmas Middle Sis was feeling nostalgic and decided to try making shortbread using grandma’s recipe. After an unsuccessful hunt for grandma’s original recipe, Big Sis found this version created from grandma’s recipe. 
.
Determined to have this be the year of shortbread success, Middle Sis followed the recipe to a”t” and managed to turn out a few dozen cookies that she thinks grandma would approve of.

Big Sis has just experienced a moment of pure joy! Big Sis has just experienced a moment of pure joy! How does this relate to a row of single shoes? Well, there is a fascinating story behind this picture. You see she recently had bunion surgery on her left foot and although it was scary and painful, it was well worth the suffering and agony.
.
She is now able to wear a variety of”normal” shoes,
(refer to the above picture) and shopping for even more normal shoes has become a regular activity. So much fun!! The excitement is real😉.
