I made Lefse today.
I got my lefse griddle in the mail the other day and decided to make a batch as what I made in November has been long gone. Mind you I just used the two mixes that came with it, so they are not from scratch but decent.
Not that exciting except it was the first time I was able to use my Great-grandmother's lefse turner. My aunt sent it to me since I've started to make my own lefse and she doesn't. It isn't as pretty as the one that came with my griddle; no painted handle decorations. It's dark from years of use; made for utility, but that is what makes it beautiful.
I can't help but think of my great-grandmother, Amy Van Sabben, and wonder if she would be happy to know her lefse turner was being used and that the tradition of lefse making was continuing. I didn't get to know my great-grandma very well, as she lived a ways away, and I only got to see her one or two times a year. But the two things I always remember about her/her house is lefse and her trundle sewing machine.

Updates
It's been a while since I've posted. Life is busy with three children, espcially when two are under two. Evangeline is growing and more awake each day. She smiles and coos almost all he time. She even laughs but every time I try to take a video of her laugh she stops. I've been taking pictures a lot, almost daily as she has so many cute outfits but out-grows them so fast.
Colin is starting to say more and more each day. I have a hard time hearing him and don't always understand hims. There are times I hear him clear as day but can never get him to repeat what he says. He's still attached to his pacifier. In the next week or two he will be transitioning to a big boy bed and sharing a room with Patrick. Not ready to try and take the pacifier away just yet.
Patrick is now 4 and getting ready for 4-k. I had a meeting at a school about this and he came with to play in the 4-k room. The next 4 days he kept asking when he got to go back to school. Patrick has also become a LEGO lover. He is always asking me to build certain things; especially Lego Movie things.
