Summer Fun!

My granddaughter invited me to her elementary school today for the annual "Special Persons Day" Picnic. It was the perfect day for a picnic; sunny and not too hot.  Here is proud Nana and Alexandra enjoying our special time together.

I made her favorite food, PBJ (Peanut Butter Jelly) Sandwiches. To make it more fun, I cut the sandwiches up into little figures. O.K. I'm not a gourmet cook, but she loved them and ate them both!! I couldn't believe it!
