Mom...you'd be proud.

Mom, I made a batch of homemade bread. The last time I made it was with you and you did most of the work! I was a little leary...but they tasted almost as good as yours and they were a HIT at the gathering today. As a matter of fact, we went around in a circle and shared our "thankfulness" and one of the little boys said the homemade bread! LOL.

I thought of you at every turn and remembered all the years gone by of hard work at the holidays. I'm not sure we told you enough, if ever, how the things you did made special memories for us. I've drawn on those memories alot lately. Thank you for serving your family all those years without fail and without much sleep. It was appreciated and still is. Miss you. Don't cry! :) I just wanted to give you a shout out! Love you~ More highlights to come...
