I used to make up 12 or more sandwiches for when “the kids” (our grandgirls) came for a visit.
Ham and cheese, Ham and no cheese, roast beef with mustard or without, turkey plain, turkey with mayo and mustard, turkey with lettuce, or without….. ad infinitum.
And those sans would somehow evaporate in one afternoon!
Lately our grandgirls are beginning to evaporate too.
Two are out of college and beginning adult lives in different states. One remains in a college close by. We just attended the middle girl’s graduation and celebrated her degree in Business/Marketing, but couldn’t make the older girl’s because it was the same day, only in Michigan.
Wonder who the graduate is? Both Kendall and Grammy are wearing school colors May 5, 2017.
We had a surprise visit this week from Jessica and what a joy she is! And how happy we were to see her since she will not only be embarking on a career in Human Resource Management and a new life in another state, but first she going on a trip to Tibet!
The big smile in front is Jess.
These days, it is folly to make up huge platters of sandwiches for the onslaught of “the kids” who used to all descend at once. What fun we all had making memories with trips to Safari Park, the Dollar Store, the lake and the pool, games of jacks and scrabble, and just all “vegging out” watching SpongeBob Square Pants on television.
It is a little sad, but I no longer ask the question, “Mustard or Mayo?”
One of the last times they were all three here together, they made a stir fry dinner and wouldn’t even let me in the kitchen!
Perhaps soon it will be the reverse and when I come to visit them they will ask ME –
“Mustard or Mayonaise?”
