McLeod Farms Field Trip
Yesterday, McCanless’ class took a field trip to McLeod Farms to pick strawberries! (Or Straw-ebbies, as she called them forever ago.) We met in the morning, so it was a bit chilly, and McCanless insisted on wearing her sister’s “Baby Legs” on her arms as “arm warmers” with her strawberry t-shirt, of course. It turned out to be a beautifully sunny and very warm day!
We had lots of fun, gathered lots of strawberries and even made Nonnie’s famous homemade strawberry cake when we returned home! Mary Clare had so much fun she didn’t nap all day! She was too excited after the big morning, then I think she had a bit too much strawberry cake batter and icing!! (I know, I know, strawberries AND cake batter before she is a year-If you are a pediatrician just ignore this paragraph, but, for the record, she’s FINE! Not that cake batter is ever really okay, but come on, we all eat it, right?)
She was up and ready to go, so excited about the field trip! Not a grouchy morning moment at all! (I wish all mornings were this pleasant!)

No, Betsy, no clean cut Debbie Gibson! If you notice in the background, the music is “Apple Bottom Jeans, boots with the fur….shorty got low,low,low… she hit the flo..etc, etc..smacked her___” Thank goodness they speed up those kind of tunes to sound like chipmunks singing, in hopes that the kids won’t catch what they are really saying! Yikes! Kerri

A little strawberry cake never hurt the Woodham family. I think it’s the favorite for everyone! Thanks to Louise Clanton,(Susan Watkins’ mom) gave me the recipe about 30 years ago! Wow, I’m getting old, but the recipe is going strong!
Maybe, McCanless and Mary Clare will use the same recipe one day!
Love, Nonnie

Looks like fun! I knew it was a good idea to stock up on those baby legs. 🙂

Was Mac born in the wrong generation? Arm warmers and skates? I think she would have fit in perfectly with us as kids!!! I was hoping to hear a little Tiffany or Debbie Gibson in the background to the skating videos!
