Thourougly Modern Betty

Mom reading this blog!

Meet Betty Berlin O'Connell. My mom (aka Grandma B) arrived to spend the holidays with us this morning. Of course it is a delight to have her here - she is my mom after all. I don't know a more positive person then my mother, whose adage has always been "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." After spending most of the past nine winters in Australia though, the subzero temperatures of Minnesota and Wisconsin are testing her courage.

Mom, Davyd, Ali and I baked Candy Cane Cookies this afternoon. We made Potato Pancakes for supper (it is Hanukkah isn't it?) Mom thought the Joy of Cooking recipe was the same as her German father used to make for Friday night suppers. It is always nice to time travel.

Rumors are that Grandma B will be teaching Ali how to make her world famous cinnamon bread tomorrow.

Happy Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas!
