Hope you all are having a splendid summer. Mine has been super busy; being the Navy Bean Fall Festival official blogger isn’t easy, ya’ know. I have appearances to make, photos to pose for, and lots of stuff I have to write. It keeps me spry!
By far my favorite activity of the summer, though, is keeping up with my nine-year-old grandson. He’s been hanging out with me here at Camp Nadine for most of the summer. I tell you what, I don’t know how you modern-day moms out there do it. The texting, the video games, the cartoons – it’s enough to make your brain go on technology overload! I mean, I am all for teaching our youngsters how to survive in our modern world, but I almost can’t keep up. (Notice I said almost.) The good thing is, he’s also taught me a thing or two about how to navigate around the web. Who knew Google had images? Now that was quite a discovery, I tell you!
But I am happy to report that he does take time out of his busy day to let me teach him a thing or two as well. He does enjoy my cooking (though he won’t say this out loud), and he has even expressed an interest in learning how to do it. Well, who better to ask than the Bean Queen? So I have taken advantage of a few moments to show him the finer points of our wonderful navy bean soup. (Come on, people! What else would I teach him?!) I admit, I am completely impressed with his ability to chop vegetables. Looks like all that Nintendo DS has at least taught him some dexterity! Excellent!
Unfortunately, my grandson is not a big fan of beans. Go figure. But it’s all good; I know it’s something he’ll grow into. After all, it takes a sophisticated palette to appreciate the texture and the fine flavor of our beloved navy bean! And at the end of the day, the best thing what we created was a fine memory.
So I am encouraging you folks to spend some time with your families cooking up a storm. You’ll be amazed with what you learn, and you might even discover something new about technology!
