FIRE FAM

This is what I did this morning. Made cinnamon rolls. They are heavenly and to die for. Sorry I had to brag a little bit I mean I did make them. hehehe

I have a funny story to tell and since I kinda use this as a journal I wanted to write it down so I would have it.

My grandma Whiting and her sister where called the bread lady's they went all over Springville and Mapleton doing bread demonstration. Probably more places I just can't remember.

When the Crandall great-grandkids would get married Aunt Hortense would always give us a bread board, rolling pin and cover for the bread board. It was standard you knew when it was time to have the Crandall shower you where getting certain things from certain family members. My family always gave the big Magna-lite pan. Its one of those weird quirky things we did.

Back to toady. As I was making my dough it was like I had two little birds sitting on my shoulder telling me how to do everything. Trust me I wasn't doing it right. They walked me through the whole process. I don't know why this happened to me today but it did. I am so lucky that I came from such a great family with wonderful qualities. (Crandall Clean) anyone? Someone out there that reads this has to know what this means.

It was great to have them sitting here talking to me. I am not crazy, the voices in my head tell me I am not. I could here them talking and laughing to me. Just like the old days. It was amazing how real they where. It was as real to me as breathing. I love my heritage, my grandma always made sure she always talked to me about where I came from and knew who my ancestors where. That was huge to here, she wanted to make sure she told me why I was the way I was and what makes me who I am.

I love my family and even if my grandma comes to me in little doses when I am cooking and tells me what I am doing wrong. I know she loves me cause if she didn't love me she wouldn't be here telling me that I am doing it wrong. She wants me to do it right.

So thank you Grandma and Aunt Hortense for telling me what I am doing wrong so that I can be a better person and make it right. I love my family.
