Holiday Joy with Logan

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

I was halfway down the drive when I heard a voice across the street. Logan (13) called out, “Are you walking? Want company?”

He ducked inside to let his parents know. I waited for him, and then he waited for me when I realized I hadn’t put in hearing aids. That was highly unusual for me. We walked to the stop sign, chatting all the way. Logan is so easy to talk to, and we always cover a variety of subjects. As we walked toward home, he wondered if he might have breakfast with me. Of course my answer was yes, then he admitted he was in lock down for having done something wrong. It was a way of getting out of the house and being with people. Did I remember the last biscuits he ate with me? I didn’t know if we’d had homemade biscuits or refrigerated ones from the supermarket. We decided on homemade. He got permission from home and invited me to have dinner with his family that evening.

Kudos to him for saying he had to wash his hands before we set to work! I measured everything, then he made the biscuits by himself. The dough was perfect, and he did a wonderful job of cutting and putting the biscuits on the pan. The steps are sifting, cutting in shortening, adding milk, rolling out dough, cutting, and putting biscuits on the pan. Flip through the slideshow to see the process.

When Logan saw how nice the biscuits looked, he suggested he could take home the ones we didn’t eat. He said it would go so well with the turkey breast his mother was going to cook. He, David, and I had one biscuit each to go with bacon and eggs, and he took the rest home. I love the way he gently suggests sharing things that will benefit the most number of people. What a delight he is!

After eating breakfast, Logan suggested one round of the card game SET. David looked on, mentally finding the sets, but leaving us to claim them. As usual, I was roundly trounced. Logan 19; me 5. I’m sure he waited for me to find them before zipping through the rest. It was all fun, making the morning shine!

How I wish the sound had come through for the video below! It was priceless.

      1. I wish my mom had let me cook growing up. She was very “hands on” in the kitchen, so I never knew my way around the kitchen and still don’t. Maybe he was admiring Nathaniel’s culinary skills as well.

  7. Logan looks a joy to be around. His parents seem to be doing a fine job with him and of course the endless play he gets with you and David helps a lot with his social skills. One day he’ll make an excellent family man. Huge Hugs.

  9. Love the way you describe Logan’s gregarious nature. He’s obviously way ahead of his years…an oldie in a young body!
