Phyllis, my mom-She was very nurturing and was always there for us-even today when I have a problem, I tend to call my mom for advice.
Paul, my dad-He worked hard to provide us with the things we needed. Today he still works hard but also finds time to help me with my own projects and/or car repair.
Lynne, my sister-She is two years older than me so she always looked out for me. We shared the same neighborhood friends growing up and played the same games. Today we still play the same games, except they are online.
My maternal grandmother Helen-She was always showing caring and concern to us. Everytime we drove from her house I remember her waving and saying, "Love you much!" When I was in my teens, I spent some time with grandma baking before the holiday. We made her famous cinnamin rolls and we didn't use a recipe (grandma had it memorized). Now that she's gone I wish I would have had her write it down.
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteYour web shows that you had a lot of nurture and caring. I can totally relate with you about your grandmother. I still try to make some of her specialties but even with the recipes I believe she has a few that she just hasn't written down because mine never come out the same as hers.

Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI also spent many years baking and cooking with my grandmother. Now, my mother and I carry on the same tradition during the holidays and hope I can continue with my children one day.
Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing bond you have with the women of your family! Your time with your grandmother was so special! Treasure the time with your mom and sister. Make it a fun project with your mom along with your sister to write down some of those recipes and/or family stories. My daughter and I love hearing stories from my mom and dad about their experiences.
