Girl With The Patchwork Dress
It wasn’t always a patchwork dress. In the beginning it was pink with tiny little white polka dots but now, there was no sign of the original dress as it had been patched so many times. The original was completely covered.
To the girl, each tiny square symbolized her mothers’ love. Painstakingly sewn with precision and care. Her mother had mended every hole, tended to every tear, and covered every rip with her needle and thread and the material from dresses of her own. And she knew that her mother did it without resentment or regrets and would continue to do so until all the dresses in her closet were thread bare and no longer of use.
And the knowledge of this was her mother’s greatest gift.

New Blog- Made With Love…
Hey, I have a new blog about food … this is what it is about:
No matter how great today’s meal is, there is always tomorrow’s. I sometimes find myself trying to come up with tomorrow’s meal as I am cleaning up today’s! I have often been heard saying that mealtime is the bain of my existence. Here is an attempt to make it fun again…and to try to remember to make it with love … as this always make it taste better.
