Gingerbread boys and girls

Gingerbread boys and girls, Team 2
Bananz and Meaty took their turns at decorating gingerbread characters this evening.

Meaty decorated a Ginger-Worker, inspired by the road construction warriors
who wear "yellow worker clothes" with lots of reflective safety striping.


Bananz created a very dressy Ariel mermaid with absolutely knockout red hair.

The kids stayed focused on their project and it was a fun evening for Nana and me to spend with them. Odds are the tradition will continue until it conflicts with their preparation for the Middle School Science Fair. j/k.

The Gentle Smith Matriarch

We met in 1966 when she was 18 and I was 22. We began dating soon afterward, and as I recall never disagreed on much. Our childhood homes were 3000 miles apart and we loved Minnesota and each other, so we got engaged in July 67, married in December and moved into a house with a teenage foster daughter. This was followed by , Daughter 1 the following September, Daughter 2 three years later, Daughter 3, a year and a half later, ..and eventually Son, 3 years later. There were also about 15 different short-term teen-foster boys in those years. The gentle matriarch has worked her whole life, hard. I went to college nights for a few years, she worked outside the home part-time while the kids were growing. She spent frugally, loved lavishly, and has always cared first and foremost about her family. She is a gentle giant who has brought love, fun, discipline, imagination, good food, and artistic, creative homemaking to our big family....and as I write this she's preparing for Easter Dinner...
