Pastor Anthony tuning up on Easter morning at my little country church. Genna , grandgirl number four , and I attended outdoor drive in services. We sang , prayed and enjoyed the service from the back of the vehicle. I am imagining that a lot of small churches in small areas got creative to stay within the limits of what is to be believed by their local governments.
Action shot. Tossing that sourdough out! Genna's first loft of sourdough ever with Gammie's supervision. This is a sourdough starter no yeast recipe and it takes about 36 hours from feeding your starter to finished product. It turned out amazing and yummy now this girl has a new skill to feed herself with.

Meal number one chicken /cheese enchiladas with pilaf and guacamole. All from scratch .
Pizza anyone? Another lesson in how something great can take more time than calling "take
out". Pizza with ground beef pepperoni, cheeses, olives and home made crust. Prep time including yeast crust roughly 6 hours. In addition baked on a pizza stone new concept for my girl. Critique ? Delicious ! Four slices went home to her family to share as did the sourdough loaf.
 Next new skill is weaving . I have a small wooden mug rug loom that is used with a plastic needle as the the shuttle. Genna enjoyed the steps in this one from choosing colors (she is my design girl and already has good sense of color) to learning why she won't be washing this rug in hot water as it is 100% wool in the weft. She learned about how a soak in cold water created fulling making the finished project looking great! A small project such as this gave her a chance to decide if next visit she wanted to try a more advanced project on either a table loom with multiple reeds or perhaps a rigid heddle. And she does!  What else did this Next Gen girl do? After a sit on the porch for a beverage and snack and wiggling those bunny socks. Took the string mower and the weed eater for a spin I must say she was a natural. We planted a salad garden in one of my big red cattle mineral container recycled for this project. Collected eggs , cared for house dogs and chickens. House work too. |
And last but not least prepared , fueled up the burn and attended while burning . It was a great week at Walnetto Farm for the Next Gen girl!

Aw, how utterly sweet and wonderful that visit must have been. And a lot of memories made for your gal with her grandma. Just lovely. Thanks for including all of us!
Thanks Wisp glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks MP. It was a magical week with lots of fun and learning for both of us. This relationship is especially precious to me as Miss Genna was only two months old when we moved away. Even though trips aplenty were made by me to visit and them up to us it wasn’t the same relationship I had with the older girls who are much closer in age and older. I feel I have been blessed with an opportunity to have a solid relationship with her now.
Another good thing to come out of the current situation two visits one 3 days one 7 days that most likely wouldn’t of happened as often and as long otherwise.
What a wonderfully newsy post! It's wonderful your church managed to have Easter service. Looks like a beautiful little church. And such a fun visit with your granddaughter. I can see she's a real blessing.
Have a happy Eastertide, we're still in it for awhile. The bread looks good! Phil/MN
And to you Phil. Here is hoping to greener pastures and less turmoil.
Garden going in soon. Nice to hear from you.
