big girl pants, blessed, coleslaw, dinner, family, food, lesson, memories, mother-in-law, recipe, widow

this afternoon I made coleslaw… I used a recipe from a lovely church lady who is long gone… we used to make this recipe when feeding large crowds of people…

since then I have written down the measurements for half and a quarter of the recipe… sometimes I would mess up, using an amount from the full recipe for one ingredient and then maybe half for the next, lol… learned my lesson…

this always reminds me of my mother-in-law... she would make coleslaw and just know the correct combination of dressing ingredients needed to go in for the amount she was making… and it always tasted perfect;-)…

I do sometimes wing it now… and it usually works out, but today I went back to the recipe and put the extra aside for another time…

memories…

filled a large bowl as my grandson was coming for dinner… only to learn he likes the creamy kind, lol…

going to have some every day this week…

sports…

athlete, big girl pants, dad, did you have fun, grandson, lesson, sports, veteran, volleyball, widow

spent a good portion of the day thinking about my dad… he was born on November 18… took this photo of a page in Then to Now: The History of La Salle, Manitoba…

like so many veterans, Dad never talked about the war… this article is the most I ever learned about his time in the service…

in his youth he was quite an athlete, and although he struggled with lung issues from the time he returned to Canada, he always loved sports…

I remember going to many events at the  arena to watch with him… he encouraged everyone… didn’t matter if they were our team or the other… if someone did something good, he clapped and cheered… and I still do that… what a wonderful life lesson…

a few nights ago I was invited to my grandson’s volleyball game… for the first set he was on the sidelines cheering on his teammates…

later he did a great job serving…

this shot came out kind of cool because he moved so fast, lol… 

my dad would have loved watching his great grandchildren play any sport… 

it is from him that the most important question I always have for the boys is did you have fun?
