Family Tributes

A Tribute to Harriette Grant

 


Single Rose My friend Harriette Grant was a Professional Nanny for 40 years. I only knew her for 14 of those years but in that time she became very dear to me. Her day was not complete without her morning tea and her afternoon tea and her tea before bed. She also collected teapots.

She and I started an organization for Professional Nannies called the National Association of Nannies. In November of 2000 she was diagnosed with Leukemia. She passed away in June of 2001 and we wanted to find a way to honor her memory. Every year at our annual conference we have different table decorations that we give away for doorprizes. To honor and preserve the memory of our dear friend Harriette, we use beautiful teapots and tea cups and old linens in the center of each table, then we have a special drawing where we give them away as door prizes.

The women attending the conference love it and we have a way of always keeping that memory of Harriette with us each year. If you would like to read more about Harriette, you can go here.

Cast Iron Cookware

It has been said, over and over in fact, that there is nothing better than food prepared in a cast iron pan. Several dishes, including Mexican fajitas, Cajun seafood, sausage & eggs, and of course, cornbread, are hailed as delicious when prepared in these pans. Cast iron is also the cookware of choice amongst serious campers and hikers, but be sure to bring the pack mule, this stuff is heavy!
