My Mom

I'm missing my Mom. I'm surprised how much deeper that feeling grows the more time passes without her. I just didn't grasp the depth of her presence and her influence in all that I do. Her death has brought about this realization for me.
I wish she were here. I think one of God's gifts to Mothers is the ability to make our children feel safe and loved no matter what.

November things

At the beginning of November a group of my friends got together to clean the kitchen at the church. This is the clean freezer.
This is the clean refrigerator. It was very therapeutic for me to toss old food.

It was actually pretty fun to get together and take care of a much needed service.

We got down to the nitty gritty of it.

The next time we got together we did something a little more fun.
We made pie bites. We had lots of cute cookie cutter shapes for the pie crusts. 

Lots of flavors...coconut cream, chocolate, pumpkin and white chocolate.

Chris was the head chef that night. Here she is with Rowena.

Here is Tina and Rowena cutting out the pie crusts.

We didn't have enough time to let the fillings set, so ours didn't turn
out as beautiful as these that were pictured on line. But it gives
you the idea.

Thanksgiving Day.

It was just Fred, my Dad and me for Thanksgiving.
Dad always carves the turkey and makes the gravy.
We get along pretty well together in the kitchen.

I always set the table with my Grandma Waldron's china & stemware.
My Dad sent home his paycheck while he was in the Navy to his mom so
she could purchase this china.
It makes me happy to be able to use it.

 Corinne in a corn bin....

 Where can I buy one? Looks like it would be very handy to own one of these.
 Little Buddy made new friends. Richards his oldest Daly cousin.
All three boys seemed quite smitten with him.
