I found the little suitcase in the attic a few years ago while I was getting the Christmas decorations down. It belonged to my youngest daughter when she was Curious J's age , so I brought it down and passed it along to him. He always brings it when he spends the night , it's a little worn , but well loved , makes me smile each time he comes through the door with that suitcase. Seems like yesterday that my daughter was packing that suitcase to go spend the night with her Grannies. Dh's mom bought our oldest daughter one too , he was a burnt orange color and had a little girl on the front. She couldn't find another one with a little girl , so she had to buy the suitcase with a little boy for my youngest daughter , she loved it anyway.
Curious J is growing up , he enjoys hanging out with Pa . He loves his toolbox and likes to work in Pa's shop. We did get to spend a little time outside Sunday , before it started raining again. He helped feed the chickens and got to see the roosters for the first time.While they were hanging out in the shop , I cooked a hearty breakfast. I made biscuits , Curious J loved the homemade biscuits. Watching him eat a biscuit brought back childhood memories , when I was little I loved eating my Grandma's biscuits too , she always had biscuits made and the grand kids were always snacking on cold biscuits , but they were sooo ...... good.
Do you have a favorite memory about going to Grandma's ?

Oh yea Bridgett , chicken n' dumplings were my favorite thing Grandma made and her delicious cakes. Sometimes we ate our biscuits with jelly or molasses Lib , but most of the time we were on the run with our biscuits , headed outside to play with all our cousins we had not seen in awhile.
ReplyDeleteThe smell of baking ham brings back memories - seems we always had ham for dinner on Sundays when we went to Grandma's house.
ReplyDeleteAwww, you're a wonderful mom and grandma!!!
ReplyDeleteThat suitcase is a treasure. Cute. My favorite grandma was my paternal one. She had an attic full of "junk" but they were treasures to her (and me) so I loved visiting and going up in the attic for hours and hours to play with all the stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma made the best white milk bacon gravy in the world and biscuits.
ReplyDeleteI have never had as good since.
I miss her and those.
I am warm inside now.
What a beautiful post, thank you!
