The last two days have brought us cooler temperatures...didn't get out of the 70s! I know that this is just a teaser...but the cooler temps do bode hints of Fall! I have had a stay-at-home day except for this evening's prayer meeting. I have done lots of "a little of thats" and "a little of thises." I generally picked up around the downstairs things that belong upstairs, but had found their way down. I did do a little more cooking. A week or so ago, I looked through a cookbook just to see if there was something that sounded good to me...something that I hadn't fixed in a while. I came across a recipe for tapioca pudding and that sounded really good. That is a childhood memory of Mother fixing it for us when we were sick...so I guess that probablly puts in a comfort food category. One of the things that needed to be put away in my "picking up" was the box of tapioca that I had recently bought. I had left it on the counter so I would be reminded to make it. Today, I decided that I would either make it or put the box away in the pantry. I decided that I would make it and then put it away. It definitely brought back memories when I ate some of it. I talked to Cheryl today and asked her if she remembered Mother making it for us and whether she liked it or not. She does remember and also does like it. I will file that away in my brain and perhaps make it when she and Rachel pay me a visit in the not too distant future. They are thinking about coming perhaps sometime in September. We had an enjoyable time celebrating Esther's 18th birthday yesterday. I will report that I thought that Joy did seem a little better. I saw several real "Joy smiles." She joined us in the kitchen when we sang Happy Birthday to Esther and then got in line for cake and ice cream. So...little by litltle...To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
