Thanks, Mom!

Caught up with my mom at the family reunion over the 4th of July. She came home with us. Then she and I blasted off to Illinois for extended family togetherness. Now we're back at my house and I've put her to work doing garden chores. She sure knows how to snap and shell beans! And sometimes - when I leave the room - I come back to a clean kitchen. I think she's the kitchen fairy I've been dreaming of all these years!

You know, it's so much more fun to do chores while visiting with my mama, chatting away over busy hands. Then we all get to sit down to a delicious garden feast!
