LOL The irony of this is that my page for the 'Sugar Free' challenge is about a dessert
Maybe not as sad as some of the other pages I've done, but I've wanted to scrap this journaling for some time.
Journaling: One of my favorite memories at Grandma Harris’ house was picking blackberries for her. I remember her standing in the kitchen over a hot stove simmering those fresh berries in sugar and water until they became thick and delicious. And while that was cooking she’d have made up pie crust, spread it on a cookie sheet, topped with butter and cinnamon-sugar. We’d crumble up the pie crust into a bowl, put two (or more) scoops of
Breyer’s vanilla ice cream over it and pile on the hot blackberry topping.
After Grandma passed away in 2001, I couldn’t bring myself to even think about blackberries and ice cream, but a few years later I bought some (frozen) and stood over the stove in my own house. I baked a pie crust and even bought
vanilla ice cream. I could barely eat it for crying over the memories. I will always miss Grandma, but it is funny how its all the little things (like a blackberry dessert) that remind you to....cherish every little thing
