Cookies and a budding photog

Though I swore I'd use my special apron as art not as a functional coverall for cookie making and more, I couldn't not wear it when making cookies with my boys over the weekend. Here I am with Mac, ready to get baking (the photo courtesy budding photog Bubby, who was delighted to use Gramma's DSLR for the shot):

You can bet it was the cleanest cookie-making session I've ever had with my grandsons, all in hopes of avoiding needing to throw my grandest grandma apron of all into the wash. Allowing Bubby and Mac to do a fair share of the work certainly helped.

GRAND Social No. 141 link party

Cheers to another GRAND Social link party! Share a link or three; read that many and more!

How it works:

• All grandparent bloggers are invited to add a link. You don't have to blog about grandparenting, just be a grandparent who blogs.

• To link up a post, copy the direct URL to the specific post — new or old — that you want to share, not the link to your blog's home page. Then click the blue button below marked "Add your link" and follow the directions.

• You can add up to three posts, but no duplicates, contests, giveaways, or Etsy sites, please.

• Adding a mention such as This post linked to the GRAND Social to your linked posts is appreciated. Or, you can post the GRAND Social button anywhere on your page using the following code:

• The GRAND Social linky accepts posts through Wednesday evening, so please come back to see those added after your first visit.

• If you're not a blogger, you have the pleasure of being a reader. Those sharing a link would be honored to have you visit, read and, if so moved, leave a comment even if just "Hey, stopping by from the GRAND Social." Bloggers who link are encouraged to visit and comment on the links of other bloggers, as well.
