Baby Food

Baby Food is an interesting subject. You eat it when you are a baby and can't really remember eating it. I remember enjoying a few things that my kids ate when I was feeding them. I guess we need kids to remember what it was like to eat baby food. My favorite:Peach Cobbler from Gerber's. YUMMY!!!! Why the stroll down memory lane?, I am in our local Rotary Club and with the Interact Club (Rotary for High School, it's a service club and looks great on a college resume/application by the way) and it was our annual baby food drive. We collected over 800 pounds of formula (way expensive now, by the way, like $17.00 a can, it was like $5.00 a can when my kidlets were little, I don't know how people can afford kids now, but we are earning more so I guess it equals out. Quite a long parenthetical, no?) diapers, wipes, cereal, baby food in the tiny jars and, of course, my favorite:Peach Cobbler. We talked about it while we were collecting with the kids and some other adults. Some like the bananas (yucky), some like the PEAS (totally gross!) and the winner was the Peach Cobbler. I don't know what that says about me. Am I a follower, a member of the herd mentality or is Peach Cobbler just extra yummy? I guess I'll never know. Any way, there were a lot of people that were very generous. I found the most generous were generally the older folks giving when even their grandkids were grown. People are amazing. There is hope. We just can't let things overwhelm us. We are good, we can do great things together. How do I know this? How can I write with such certitude? I saw people today giving baby food!
