She attempted to teach us to make rice, but this usually ended in an unfortunate brown crust on the bottom of the pan. (We were too distracted watching Little House.) I've improved, but I still leave the cooking up to Scott.

I knew early on not to do that. In school there were many Jennifers(it was the most popular girl name for 1971) and often,unfortunately she was the one given the "honor" of being called Jenny. Yikes did we ever hear it each new school year! And of course, there is the "discussion" often between your mom and I; actually a accusation on her part of how I stole the special name she wanted for her daughter, she didn't realize many others in the nation also stole the coveted name. Oh well, thank goodness we are still friends and at this stage of the game are having fun comparing grandchild stories. I love the baking photos of you and V and I remember I was not a very good teacher in that area(not much patience) the girls still learned to overcome my lack and do bake quite well these days. I especially enjoyed the photo of V slurping the spoon, that is my favorite part of baking. I continue to enjoy "Jenny's Blog". Kathy S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
