My blog archive holds so many memories, going back to 2008. My Facebook Memories pop up daily and surprise me. Today I was reminded of the rhubarb pie I baked 6 years ago.
It was for our immediate family Mother's Day dinner here. I was in the practice of honoring my daughter on Mother's day. She was the one doing the active mothering.
Then a photo of two fancy rhubarb pies popped up from 2009, 17 years ago.
They were for an extended family dinner at my sister Laurie's house. Our mother was still with us and my daughter and grands still lived in Colorado.
Today I baked a rhubarb cake. I am older and have less energy and cake is easier.
It's still delicious, and still to celebrate my daughter, and me too, I guess. As usual we will host the usual suspects, minus granddaughter Irene, who is busy with college in Bellingham.
My mother has been gone about 15 years now. The grands have grown up. I got old. Here is my favorite photo of us mothers together, taken in 2011.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers who are still mothering, and to all those who are cherishing memories of mothers.
I like the photo of you and your family. I wish you a Happy Mother’s Day ! And many others. Here it’s not yet Mother’s Day ( end of May
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
Happy Mother's Day to you and to Jill!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful portrait of you and your mom with your wonderful family, Linda. Have a fabulous, delicious day today.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture from the past. I hope your Mothers Day was a good one.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to eat pie! The only time I had rhubarb pie was over 20 years ago at a little home restaurant in Vermont (!) called Stone Kitchen with our son. It was a strawberry rhubarb pie. I don't remember what we had for dinner there, but I remember the fantastic pie!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Mother's Day! I'm certain your time with family was enjoyed by all in attendance.
