Have you ever seen  “JULIA CHILD”  at work in your KITCHEN?

Grand-daughter JAIME was taking pictures as “GRANDMA” was putting  “31”  candles on a home made cake  for the  best GRANDSON,  “ALAN” and since this “Birthday Party”  was for him, he was giving his  approval   as he  over looks the last minute preparations.

When I saw this PHOTO,  I just had to die laughing as I remember seeing “JULIA CHILD” bending over as you see me,  because as you hit the older years in  “LIFE” looks like the straight back,  takes a good bend forward . That  “old” bending,   seems to just creepe up, on us senior citizens as we approach those beyond  “GOLDEN” years.

Many years ago,  I would watch “JULIA CHILD” in her cooking shows, and always thought that she really enjoyed all of the cooking that she did. In fact,  I even had to buy her book, “The FRENCH CHEF”   and that is “one”   of the very many books on cooking,  that I have. 

 Years ago,  when I would be in the KITCHEN  and my MOTHER would be there, too  – she would remark  to me,  that she thought that I would be “talking”  just  like “JULIA CHILD.”   I did not think so,  but I do have one of those voices,  that when  you hear it,  you will  always remember me!

Getting back to “ALAN’s” BIRTHDAY PARTY,  we had a very good time  and everyone liked that cake so much, even some  guests, took seconds.    Something  to think about,  a  most important thing that  is happening in our world  TODAY .  I feel  that there are lots of FAMILIES,  that will not be celebrating special times  with “GRAND-CHILDREN”  as  FAMILIES  are cutting down  on having  children,  so it seems  to me, that   this world  will soon have a  shortage of children.

When I was a small child and  in school,  there was the saying,  “The FAMILY that PRAYS together, STAYS TOGETHER!”   Something that I have not heard in a very long time!    Every day,  I give THANKS to the ALMIGHTY, since HE gave to me the best children and “GRAND-CHILDREN”   jut something that I wish more people could  or even would say,   and  also be so very  grateful to our CREATOR,  for all the wonderful gifts of  “Children”  we receive daily  to enjoy having occasions to meet  with , work with, celebrate with, and, that  starts  each and every day, with our very own FAMILY!  D.V.
