Lucy and the Banana Bread

This is how I used to mash the bananas for banana bread:

It took awhile and was tedious.

And, then....SHE came to visit this summer:

And, SHE taught me to mash bananas this way:

Good-bye fork, hello potato masher.

 Thanks, Lucy.  I think of you every time I make banana bread now!

Lucy, on the day we were outside doing chalk drawings....she got more on her than on the driveway, but, hey, that's what made it FUN!
