Baking and a Graduation Party!

I love to bake. It is really calming and soothing to my soul. I can ponder about the finer things of this world. I love to think of the pioneer women when I cook, and how easy I have it and how they struggled and suffered so much. I have enjoyed this past month to think alot about my ancestors and how they made fresh bread and grew things in their gardens to give away to others. I love to do the same. This month I have loved visiting with family and baking for them. I don't have much in this life to give so therefore, I love to give of my goodies and treats to those whom I love.

I wish that I could serve all of my friends a bit of goodness through a goodie. I think that no one could ever say no to a baked good, that is truly baked with love. I cherish the moments that I have seen my own parents serve others. This is a characteristic that I have inherited from my parents. They are always cooking and helping others. My parents have been in town this week and whenever I am in their home they are always cooking and serving me. It was a pleasant change to see the tables turned this week. I have enjoyed cooking and visiting with them. It was also fun to cook for my brothers graduation party. It is so nice the older I get the more I look to my mother and father for guidance and direction. I realized as I worked side by side with my mother I find out more about my ancestors and the trials that so easily beset them. I have really enjoyed cooking, working and visiting with my family and friends this month. I hope to have many more memories made in my kitchen or visiting you in yours.
