A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)  

Thoughts of Thanksgiving...


Thanksgiving is a special time. It involves family traditions of eating tasty food and coming together. Last year, my dear friend and her girls joined us from Texas. We showed them a Pittsburgh good time. I've included a photo of us (minus their mom who was napping) from Market Square with Santa.


Indeed, Market Square and the People's Holiday Market is one of my favorite Pittsburgh traditions. It is decorated like a European market and there are treats and sites to see. My sister and I took the girls on a walk through downtown and we even went up to Mount Washington to give them the best view of the city. Of course, they had to take the incline, which they thoroughly enjoyed.

As usual, Thanksgiving dinner included our family and other dear friends--all twenty plus of us. And we had all of our family favorites, mostly cooked by my mom. As the years go on, I am ever grateful to have her in my life healthy and sound. So, on this Thanksgiving eve, I have a grateful heart.  I am reflecting on Thanksgivings past and I am looking forward to tomorrow. 

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
