My Dad and Husband - the Pancake Guys

My dad often used to make pancakes on Saturday mornings. A favorite memory, it is.

Now my husband often wakes up on Saturday mornings thinking of pancakes, and makes them. I am so richly blessed!

The kids and I love bananas and nuts in our pancakes, so David makes the batter, and Jason slices bananas & breaks walnuts/pecans, Emily sets the table...a lovely family weekend tradition. And nutritious, what with the batter being wholegrain and all...Thanks, Lord, for my father and my husband and my children. And whole wheat pancakes with bananas and nuts, and strawberries on top.

The strawberries are on a plate that I painted a few weeks ago at Genevieve's Gallery, a pottery-painting place in Englefield Green, similar in idea to Petroglyph in Silicon Valley, only on a smaller scale. There is ONE table there, that can seat about 8! But that was enough for me and my two kids, and we had a grand time.
