It still catches me by surprise . . . this season I'm in . . . I'm the Grammy!
Ten times over and it's still new!
One morning I made my breakfast and I thought I'd switch it up a bit.
I never put butter and honey on my toast, but I remembered how my Omi tried to convince me
that butter and honey together were just the best!
She'd spread it ever so carefully, making sure it came to the edges . . .
but for some reason she could not convince me,
On this particular morning, as I tried it again . . . I loved it.
The taste reminded me of sitting at the table with her.
Does it not make one wonder what kind of things will outlive us?
I know there are more important things than how I spread my toast,
but may I never underestimate the smallness of what can make a memory

. . . sent from heaven with love.

I eat it every chance I get! Calvin loves it too. :)
Wonderful - sent from heaven indeed!
how cool is that heart?! and isn't wonderful how the heart remembers?
I love butter and honey - also butter and jam - also butter and molasses - also butter and peanut butter (definitely overkill but so good)
It's great how certain sights, sounds, and aromas take us back to sweet memories...
One of your best posts! The reflected heart is awesome.
Butter and honey - mmm! What a great photo and a wonderful memory.
I noticed that heart right away! I love honey and butter on my toast. One of the few memories I have of my maternal grandmother is that she used to cut my toast in long strips for me. I still do that once in a while, and it reminds me of her. It's nice since I have so few memories of her. So you're right that it is interesting to note that those lasting memories can sometimes be something so simple.
The heart is wonderful - I noticed it and wondered 'how....?'
I love being a grandmother - I have few memories of the one grandmother who was still alive when I was a child. I love the relationship I have with the children, and I can see how much you love your relationship too. This was a lovely memory that you shared.
Love. Thank you for this special post on the 4th.
I popped over from Judy's blog Just a little something for you and I am so glad I did. I enjoyed my visit very much. Honey and butter...soo yummy. It reminds me of my mom. Toast was her cure for many things. "Just have yourself a piece of toast. And put a little honey on it" she would say. "pour a cup of tea too" lol. How I miss her. Enjoy your weekend I'll be back!
So beautiful and so true. I love those memories that come unexpectedly like a gift.
Such a lovely memory. I sometimes do this in the evening when I want a treat. And, i will usually sprinkle a bit of Korintje cinnamon on top.

We love toast and honey! In fact, my husband has it most mornings, and yes, we are both in the grandparent stage too:)
