"Some of the Foods" & "Same Place" by Amanda

My dad loved food...loved it. It honestly didn't matter what it was, he just loved to eat it. :) This challenge, then, came fairly easily. In my head, I'd already been making a list of the foods that especially make me think of him...foods that bring up images of him whenever I see them or my boys ask for them. 


Even though this layout doesn't particularly tell a story, I love that I have this list all in one place...just like I'm thrilled when seeing or eating one of these foods leads to discussions with my boys about what else their Papa loved. ;)

After I'd finished the layout above, though, I still had food on the brain. As so often happens, I started thinking about things I want to make sure my boys know about their Papa. Thus, this layout:

 
Yup, just a silly little memory, but one I wanted to share. :)

Remember, due to the holidays and such, both this challenge and the previous one (with the beautiful holiday inspired prize by PixiePetals) are due on Saturday, November 28 (by midnight). Post your take on the challenges online and link us up in the comments of the appropriate challenge post. (So, for this challenge, be sure to comment under the original challenge post, okay?)

These are fun layouts! I saw on your blog your idea to do this for your family - it's great to document our little quirky eating habits ... (I think I recall one of your boys only eating yogurt when he was little??) I would've loved to know what my great-grandparents ate!
