Welcome! We are a Christian family who cares for elderly individuals in our home. There are so many quotes, stories, and photos that we wanted to share with our precious "Golden Girls'" families, which they could view quicker and could be updated easier on this blog than we would ever have time (and memory!) to share with them personally. We also thought others might enjoy reading and viewing along with the families on this great adventure of their loved ones' golden sunset years. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit with us and "The Grandmas"!

An Evening in Africa...

So, a few days ago I tried my hand at African cooking...that is, Ethiopian cuisine!  It was fun, but a lot of work and a lot of leftovers (I think I made enough to feed an army)!  Below are some photos for your enjoyment...everyone was so sweet to try it out and nod and smile that it was "good"...ha!  I think I'll just stick to good ol' spaghetti or fried chicken!


Abish, the main dish...yes, it rhymes, how poetic :)

Yatakleet Kilkil...interesting name for a mixture of veggies and spices

Dabo Kolo...actually means "popcorn bread"

I also made Injera (flat bread) which was real cool, however didn't get any shots of them, so if you really want to know what it looks like, try googling it! :)

Quite the trooper!

Our Ruth will actually eat anything...so of course she announced how wonderful it was :)

Grandma Jan stopped by for a visit...thanks for coming!

My sweet sister, Vanessa digging in

"Thank you, Grandma, for the cool new shades, headband, and calculator!"

That's all from the Kitchen!  Hope you enjoyed our "dining experience"!
