Happy Birthday Mom!

on


Last summer on Mom's birthday. .
I invited her over to make the potato salad for the book.
While she was busy cutting. .
I was busy taking photos of her.
I see beautiful . .
where she sees the evidence of years of painful arthritis.



Her great grands love her just as her first generation grands did.
They call. . .."Oma!!". . .when she walks in the door.



Always beautiful. .
always giving. .
and always loving. .
and still the best potato salad maker in the land!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

To all my American neighbors. .
Happy 4th of July!

    Have a wonderful day and you are so lucky to have someone help you. I guess others of us, sometimes feel less fortunate, but when I do...it's best to find a friend who loves to make food with you in the kitchen and share life together.

    Happy Birthday Pauline!
    I know how important a role you play in Lovella's life as a friend and mentor. Those of us who have/had a mother in law like you are truly blessed.
