Fedora Hat-Tastic

Posted on

A fedora is a hat I thought I could/would never wear.  I saw this style of hat as to young for me.  Loved it when others wore fedora’s.  I did try on plenty of fedora’s but the hat just  never gave me that Hat-tastic feel.

But the other evening as I was walking out of  L&T I happened to exit by the hat department.  What  caught my eye?  This  blue fedora.

I picked up the hat and placed it on my head, looked skeptically in the mirror and thought… Hat-tastic!   I got that Hat-tastic feel.

Finally a fedora that looked just right for this  grandmother. Fedora  is now a  fashionably cool hat in my hat box

We try to get together as often as we can, it is not always easy. But we all agreed that Brunch with The Easter Bunny was a thing to do. Merci’s sister Marlene joined us because she is now a Groovin’ Grandma like us! The more the merrier for sure.

My son in law was nice enough to take a photo of the moms, grandmas and grandchildren at the table. Bless his heart.

The brunch was at The Plattduetsche Park and the festivities include a full buffet brunch with scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, chicken francese, pasta, salad  and dessert.

The children really loved getting their faces painted. We had hearts, batman  a snake and two Mickeys. What a fun way in welcome Spring.

March came in like a lion and hopefully will leave like a lamb. Thank God that no matter how long winter is, Spring always will follow. Happy Spring. Happy Easter.

Himalayan Pink Salt

Salt is an essential staple in everyone’s kitchen and I know better than to  set the dinner table without  the salt shaker.  I like to use  Kosher salt and/or Sea salt when I cook and in my shakers,but, Himalayan salt?  I never heard of it.Himalayan salt is not white but pink colored.

A pretty pink color. I was introduced to Himalayan salt by my lovely daughter-in-law.  She gave me a lecture on how much better this salt is for you.  How her brother and sister-in-law stopped using all other salts and only use Himalayan salt.  I had never heard of Himalayan salt until then.  I was told that this salt was so much more healthier for you (I am into health).  She explained that Himalayan salt is pure and natural.  It is claimed that Himalayan Pink salt is the purest salt to be found on Gods earth (I am into Gods earth, too).

After her speech I had to buy some Himalayan Pink salt.   I forked out almost $5.oo for a small bottle that would be used up in the preparation of just three pots of spaghetti water.

No regrets (Gods earth is pretty big).

 I  now know a little more about salt.

Like not all salt is created equal, and not all salt is white…
