While listening to the radio the other day I found myself listening to Jan D’Atri ,a local Arizona TV and radio personality and author.
I was very impressed by her discussion about the value of family and some of the simple things in families that connect us. The focus of her discussion was the joy of cooking within a family and the memories many women have of spending wonderful times, while they were young, cooking with their mothers and grandmothers.
Jan went on to encourage women to gather their precious family recipes along with the precious memories and commit them to paper. She has herself published a cookbook of memorable family recipes.
She also shares some wonderful stories of her own mother and the relationships that have become such a treasure over the years. A great reminder of what is most important in this life – family.
For a heart touching story check out this blog post by Jan’s mother.
Jan’s website has some great recipes you might want to try!
Here is one of my favorites.

The Story of an American Hero
Early on the morning of Dec. 8, 1941, nine Japanese fighter planes swooped down on Malalag Bay in the Philippines and strafed and sunk two U.S. Navy seaplanes at the very outset of World War II. All of the Americans escaped unharmed except Ensign Robert G. Tills, 23, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, who was cut down by machine gun bullets. “Ensign Robert Tills died in the fusillade of bullets from the Japanese strafers, the first American naval officer killed in the defense of the Philippines,” the Naval Historical Center wrote.

With sadness we learned today that our Uncle Alby passed away.
I wrote previously about a recent adventure he had undertaken at age 74, riding a bicycle from London to Liverpool in England.
We came to meet my uncle late in life while we were living in Seattle; he contacted us on a visit to the USA. He was staying with friends in Spokane Washington so we loaded the kids into the car and drove to Spokane to meet him for the first time.
The Saturday visit was a delight. Our children and Uncle Alby quickly became friends. His sense of humor and caring, turned “family-strangers” into “family-friends”. We enjoyed our short time together, a brief lunch and a walk around down town Spokane and headed back to Seattle.
True to the adventurer he was he had used Spokane as a base to explore the Montana/Idaho area with a map and a rental car he travelled the area alone, sleeping in the car when he needed to and hiking any area that looked interesting to him. Ignoring the comforts of life, he travelled content with a frequent cup of tea, a pillow and blanket to use when sleeping in the car. He even ventured alone into areas where bears had been sighted.
Uncle Alby had remained in England his birthplace, while his brother, our father, left England to establish a better life in Southern Rhodesia which is modern day Zimbabwe. As a result we grew up not knowing my father’s family. So it was a great delight to meet Uncle Alby in part because he was so much like our beloved Dad who had already passed away. He was like Dad in so many ways; short in stature, humorous, easy to speak to and knowledgeable about so many things.
We were thrilled to receive a letter from him a month ago and sadly our reply to him is sitting in an envelope waiting to be mailed.
We hope that his family will share more stories of his life with us so that we can help preserve the great legacy he has left our family.
Thank you Uncle Alby for being the man you were. Enjoy the reunion with Dad – I am sure you have much to talk about. God bless you until we meet again. Neville and Barbie
