Memories & Recipes
I recalled how the five cousins used to beg Granny to let us play in the rain. Suddenly, I couldn't resist the urge. I called out for Erin, Justin (Baugh) and Zack (Garrick) to come play dodge ball with me in the rain. We played for a good half hour until the light rain stopped. We all sat on the front porch and watched the steam rising from the cement driveway. After I dried up, I fixed the kids some Mac and Cheese. I was happy to play in the rain once again. I was happier to make that memory for those three cousins. Here are some quick and easy recipes for you to throw together just in case it rains again and you want to take time to play! Thanks for the rain, Lord!
