I never realized how much of an impact our kids growing up and moving away would have on our life. Gone are the days of dropping off and picking up kids, helping them with their homework, and making sure everything is right in their worlds. Also gone are the family meals that we always enjoyed together, replaced by quiet, simpler meals alone with my husband. We all had our favorites, but this banana bread was loved by us all. I always try to make it as a special treat for our kids when they come for a visit. This is the most delicious and moist banana bread we have ever had so it is the only one I make. I hope you and your family will enjoy it as much as we do.
All my love and blessing to you and your family,
Anna
