mag-POLVORON ta karon


Today, April 14th 2020.  
Mommy's birthday on lockdown because of the virus outbreak.

 Inspite of it, entire clan - daughters, sons-in-grace, grandchildren, grandchildren-in-grace, got together online.
Grateful hearts gathered. 
Thankful to the Lord for the life of Mommy G.  

 From the day He made her in Apong's womb, through the many seasons of her life, Daddy God has been faithful.  Father has blessed ahead her journey and written ahead her destination.  Surely, with long life with many good days as He's promised, will He satisfy mommy.
Praise the Lord for each day He made for her.

Sans the birthday cake, Z and I made this polvoron together today.
Z wanted it with Oreo bits. (I pray our time in the kitchen be more of happy memories to her, than of me scolding 😅)

 How timely that there's this mooncake mould from hubbytot.

 We dedicate this one big pretty chunk of floral polvoron to our one and only Mommy, Lola G.

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
