You are always welcome

 Ask my family... Come to my door and you are invited inside....    It is the American way.

Right?   Wait, what happened?  

For the past two years I have been trying to meet our neighbors.  It is gotten easier now, with the pandemic, people are home.

So, every week, maybe twice a week I bake Banana bread.  Not just any banana bread, this is called Hippy banana bread.   I  tried it because I had all the ingredients on hand and it is good.  Really good.  After the 3 mashed bananas, you add walnuts, craisins, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and I also add sesame seeds and a little flax. 

So it is like eating a little meal

Several neighbors live alone, so they love having someone at the door with a little treat.   A little loaf is also a small, but great,  way to say thank you to the neighbors who have gone shopping for us.  There are many reasons to share a little banana bread. 

Something I have realized... rarely does anyone pause to chat, or invite you in. 

I discovered this because last week, a neighbor invited me inside and offered me coffee !  Wait, two neighbors invited me in for coffee.

So, that is the American way...or maybe it is the Scandinavian way.   

Call it what you like,  I live an exciting life !
