Bananas

My Papa taught me a trick with bananas that I use all the time. If you cut off (or bite off, as I do) the top of a banana and stick your thumb down the middle, it will split into 3 even parts. I have used it to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches, banana splits, and now, to make smaller bites for the kids. As I was giving Chloe and Jake some banana at breakfast, I told Chloe who taught me how to do it. I told her about my Papa. She said, "Where is your Papa?" I said, "He is in Heaven." Chloe: "With our baby?" 

I love that she makes those connections. I love to remember them.

  3. Thank you for remembering our Dad, your Papa. He loved you and is smiling as you keep his memory alive in such simple and wonderful ways. He LOVED children and yours (my faux grandchildren) would have kept him happy and entertained for hours.

  4. Thanks for commenting Debbie! I think of Papa a lot so I'm trying to write it down when I do. I love you! I can't wait to see you again... maybe soon?
