Last spring, my husband presented a seminar for some employees, and the owner of the company and his wife were truly kind and giving. She took note that I had to eat gluten-free food, and provided me with a box of Perfect Bar gluten-free snack bars in place of the granola bars they served to the others for a snack. So thoughtful!

These Perfect Bars were pretty tasty. I am rating them at 7 out of 10 because the texture was thick and pasty. These bars are more like a cereal bar than a light granola bar, and that may be the reason the texture is heavy.
Isn't it wonderful that there are now several gluten-free granola bars on the market? Great Value Granola Bars are delicious, along with several Nature Valley Granola Bars, like Peanut Almond & Dark Chocolate, Salted Caramel Nut, and Coconut Almond.
I can't close this post without stating how joyful it is to be a Grandma! We have one granddaughter who is four years old and has brought so much happiness to our family, and now we have another granddaughter who is three days old! Isn't she darling? I feel that family can bring the greatest joy we can experience in this life.
"Bernadine Healy, in a commencement address, gave this counsel: “As a physician, who has been deeply privileged to share the most profound moments of people’s lives including their final moments, let me tell you a secret. People facing death don’t think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held, or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end, what really matters is who you loved and who loved you. That circle of love is everything, and is a great measure of a past life. It is the gift of greatest worth.” 11
"Near the end of his life, one father looked back on how he had spent his time on earth. An acclaimed, respected author of numerous scholarly works, he said, “I wish I had written one less book and taken my children fishing more often.”
"Time passes quickly. Many parents say that it seems like yesterday that their children were born. Now those children are grown, perhaps with children of their own. “Where did the years go?” they ask. We cannot call back time that is past, we cannot stop time that now is, and we cannot experience the future in our present state. Time is a gift, a treasure not to be put aside for the future but to be used wisely in the present."
