Mothers Day BBQ

This Mothers Day I'll be having a party of 10.
Not the size crowd my mother used to cook for but a good number just the same.

Even though we lost mom to Alzheimers 3 years ago, there is something about being in the kitchen that makes me feel closer to her than anywhere else.

I guess it's because our family spent so much time in the kitchen and at the dining table. And it was Mom that was the center of the energy.

She was a great cook and an even better baker.
I remember as a young girl I fought the concept of being like my mother...now I revel in the fact that "I am my mothers daughter"...

So on this day I will
~Cook
~Drink
~Dance
and above all
~Laugh
Because it is her day and that's what she would have done!

Thanks Mom...Always in my heart and my kitchen ~cheers~
