It's All About the Food!!

I just talked with my mom on the phone..the call went something like this:

"Hi Mom"

"Hi Honey"

"Guess what I just had for lunch?"

"What?"

"The best BLT ever..thick juicy tomatoes from my garden, bacon from the coop..great bread..."

"Oh I wish I was there"

"Me too, hey..what kind of potatoes do you use for our famous potato salad"

"Well you can use............. And so it went. An entire conversation all about food. We must have spend a good five minutes on the potatoes alone. (I think I will go with red and leave the skin on) That is how it is and always has been in my family.

Food, food, food..and how basic is that. And, how wonderful. We have the best times..eating, cooking and laughing. They all go together in our family..and it began with Nana and then Mom and now all of us still carry on the tradition.

I don't think any of us ever miss a meal.

I took a picture of what Mom said was her last lemon

pie. She has baked

probably three since her last pie!

With a little over a week to go before surgery, she seems to be doing well. Today she is enjoying a football game and she had fun watching BSU play a few night ago. Go Broncos!

Thanks for the cards and treats. Aunt Mary brought some figs over today, Jennifer called to offer any help, Penny did her hair and took her shopping, Vito took care of her yard and enjoyed root beer float with her last night..and Annie brought some lovely roses before she left for vacation. That is only a partial list of all who are helping Mom.

Isn't it grand!!
