As I checked my most recent photos on the computer,
I noticed mostly cakes ...
a reminder that I've been a little focused on updating recipes.
Photos may be one way to track what's been happening here
but you'd miss out on fun little moments
I can only hope to capture in words ...
Recently, Kristal dropped Evy off first thing in the morning
and on this day she was not too happy to stay.
I let her watch a show while I went to take a quick shower.
When I came back she wanted some cookies.
I said to her, "I thought you didn't want to come to Mimi's!"
She said, "But I changed my mind."
I said, "That's good, because I thought you didn't like Mimi."
She said, "You're funny, Mimi!"
I also think about Jade,
short and petite in every way, she came in one day
wearing a jean skirt with a white blouse with frills about the waist,
purple tights and black shoes with a strap and some bling on them.
Her blond, curly hair up in a messy bun,
brown eyes squinting up and her hands just so ...
she waited for us to express our joy in seeing her!
The picture has to remain in my mind.
Priceless.
And just for fun ... I'll share the redone photos too ...
The easiest cake you could ever make.
Moist and delicious ... we enjoyed this dessert about three nights in a row.
A classic Banana Chocolate Bundt cake
So easy to make and great to have in the freezer
for a quick lunch.
for any time of the day
Proven to be great school lunch treats over several generations.
(the icing hardens enough that you can wrap them in cellophane.
And last, but not least,
Perfect for the season ... made with pumpkin and applesauce.
It would make me quite happy if
I've inspired you to write down a special memory
and to bake something yummy.

A lovely post, Anneliese. I write down sweet similar moments in my journal. It's fun to look back over the years and remember the littles the way they were.
Pizza buns! What a good thing to have on hand for the upcoming holiday season! Thank you.
Fun word pictures to remember from your little grandgirlies and great new photos of these recipes.
Your 'word pictures' are perfect. Smiling here! And longing for a piece of cake after seeing your photos.
What a lovely post. I think that the best pictures are the ones stored on my heart-drive!
Those are truly priceless memories and "pictures". I like Pondside's comment about storing them on our heart-drive! My little 2 year old granddaughter surprises me every time I see her with her funny wit and sweet sensitive nature - things you just can't capture with a photo. Your cakes look amazing and I'm longing for a piece of Mystery Cake ... printing the recipe right now!~
Thanks for sharing the recipes! The fruit cocktail cake was delicious. I made this mystery desert the day after you posted it. My cousin happened to be over for a visit and really liked the cake. This recipe is a real keeper. Judy A
Some yummy recipes here!! Thanks Anneliese!
Your "word pictures" are so sweet - and they'll bring back precious memories to you as the little grands grow. Which they're doing much too quickly!! :)
