Posie- This piece was such a nice tribute to your Mom. However, my Mom and your Mom could not have been more different. Your mother went to Princeton and mine left school in high school to go to work to help support her family. Your family was raised on a beautiful farm. We grew up in suburbia. Your Mom had all of the domestic skills we think are important. In my childhood home a Fry Daddy was one of the most important cooking aids we had. But in the end it is all really about the love that each of our Mothers gave us. Different for you and me for sure - but just as wonderful.
