Savory sweet!

My mom and I had a wonderful visit while she was here.  It was just a savory sweet time that I will treasure.  We did lots and had so much fun!  I loved watching her with Zane.  I'm learning that all Grandma's are alike!  At least Zane's two Grandmas!  :)  They like to squeeze him and dote on him and that is wonderful!  He needs loving people in his life and I'm glad he has these two wonderful women along with so many other wonderful, loving people in his life!

While with the Harris side of the family a few weekends ago, we made pecan pralines so I thought it would be fun to make some with my mom.  I found a recipe for chewy Texas pralines and decided it might yield the kind I was looking for.  We had such fun!  We took turns stirring and feeding Zane, and stirring, and stirring, and stirring some more!  Finally after about two hours, we had the finished product cooling on cookie sheets.  She took home half of them and I've given some away to Zane's bible class teachers. 

Yummy Pecan Pralines!

We also found another project to work on!  Mom bought some fabric to make some placemats so I cut out fabric and she sewed.  Zane got in on the action too when it was time for him to get up.  It was a great distraction while he was eating and he thought the sewing machine and Grandma were absolutely hilarious!

Here's a video of Grandma and Grandson!
