Kijabe is the location of the boarding school in Kenya where Grandpa and Gramma's four kids lived.
No Bake Cookies were one of the more popular items they were sometimes served there.
The less popular items are memorialized in story, and maybe sometimes in song! :-)
The food, and many other things about life at Kijabe, has been the subject
of many a conversation at family gatherings.
