Thanks Val! I didn’t think I made the deadline. It was so nice of you to count me in. I too, wish I had one of those brownies and a big cup of coffee!

Ron, I am so glad that it reminded you of those good times. I’m sorry for you at the loss of your mother. I cannot imagine how hard that must be. I hope I can be like you and focus on the happy times. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, Karen. Your item #4 made me think of the potato skins that I haven’t eaten in years. When I was young, my Mom would bake the potatoes (red and regular). Our family would sit at dinner, laughing at some silliness as we scooped out the insides of those steaming spuds, put butter or sour cream in the crisp skins and eat them like a mini sandwich.

The last time I did this with my Mom was a couple of months before she died. I was trying to help her as she battled leukemia. We made the potatoes because it was one of the few times that she felt well enough to have an appetite And this was one of the last fun-filled memories that I have of our time together.

Thank you for writing this post. It made me recall those good days from when I was a child and those important times when a loved one was about to leave.
