My precious grandsons

Today I want to say how thankful I am to be a gramma. I always thought that the day I became a grandmother was the day I would be OLD!! I wasn't in a hurry for that day to come but, when it happened almost three years ago, my life changed in ways I could never have imagined. These two precious little boys are my pride and joy. They both have this gramma wrapped around their finger and I wouldn't want it any other way! Being gramma is the very best thing in the entire world and I thank God every day for these two precious blessings!! This old woman LOVES BEING GRAMMA!!

Ok Here's a sweet potato recipe that looks soooooo YUMMY I might just have to try it

Sweet Potato Surprise • 4 sweet potatoes, baked and mashed • 1 cup sugar • 1/3 cup margarine, melted • 1/2 cup milk • 2 eggs, beaten • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract TOPPING • 1 cup grated unsweetened coconut, dried or fresh • 1 cup pecans • 1 cup brown sugar • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour • 1/3 cup margarine Instructions 1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes, sugar, margarine, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Transfer the mixture into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish. 2. In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until crumbly. Distribute the topping over the sweet potatoes. Then bake the casserole for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serves 6 to 8.
