Lunch

I had company today.

My brother brings my mother to me on Tuesdays

most every week now. 

She doesn't get out to see people, 

so I invite some here so she can

chatter a little with someone other

than me! We talk daily

about nothing and sometimes need

a little help getting new subjects.

I called three friends over...

one my mother's age and 

two closer to my age.

Seventeen.

Lunch was bread from the Mennonite bakery

with homemade Pimento cheese and/or

Tuna salad, tomato/basil chips

 and Texas caviar

(black-eyed pea salad).

Remember the PUC? 

(last post...scroll down if

you didn't see...)

Someone was asking for a cake of 

their very own...so I did make one...

although, the person won't be getting it 

quite yet...we used it for dessert today. 

Before I decided we'd eat it though...

I sat Mama down at the table with

her own little pan and all the ingredients.

Kind of like how you might let a child 

decorate their own pizza...

Mama made a little cake to take home.

She had fun :) 

Standing in the kitchen is not possible

for her and she has her meals brought

each day. 

She really enjoyed the part where you 

turn the cake out onto the plate!

Rewarding :)

This sweet lady is so very nice to my mother

and they enjoy each other. 

Her last little great-grandchild 

calls her GrannyPanny :) 

She makes loaves and loaves

of Amish friendship bread in 

all kinds of flavors. 

She is so generous to deliver

them to shut-ins and just anybody

who likes to eat! 

This one is gonna have my hide when

and if she sees that I put her ONLINE.

So be it. 

SO BE IT. 

She is the friend of all friends,

Johnny on the spot stand by you 

no matter what true blue bosom

buddy. 

No, you cannot have her. She is mine.

Well, she is a lot of people's...and they

probably would like her back about now. 

This one talks me through my 

blues and knocks sense into my 

hard head. 

She is my mentor who I love. 

Her only child has MS (like me)

and he is miles and miles away.

I think when she does things with

and for me it is as if she is doing for him. 

So sweet. 

Like YOU! 

Come back now. 

It is NOT the same here without you. 

Quiet and lonely.
