I’m finally baking again!!
This past weekend I had a HUGE creative mess going in the kitchen.
Reuben was doing work at the kitchen table and snapped a picture –
there wasn’t a clean spot on a counter to be found.
He said it reminded him of when he used to come in the shop just to see me.
The mess seemed to bother me so much more than anyone else in the family.
Yes, I admit, maybe I need to lighten up sometimes –
always managing the house, even the littlest detail.
I guess that’s why he likes to call me “LaRussa.”
