before Mother's Day

on Madison Avenue...

Animal Crackers

when i went home to New Jersey on Sunday, i was surprised by the plate of cookies my mother the gourmet presented following lunch.  

the chocolate Thin Mints were not the surprise, my father has always loved them and we used to stock up on them when Girl Scout fundraising season rolled around each year. 

Animal Crackers? i asked.

yes, my mother replied, popping one into her mouth. 

really?  i asked. 

we like them. from a bag, not a box. she clarified matter of factly.

times really do change...

Sunday, Mendham NJ 

mother's day!

I am embarrassed to confess that I do not know the story behind the car, the dress or the locale but the girl is my mom, Mary!

When the sun comes out somewhere this spring, we plan to meet up and I can then get the details on the photo!

Happy Mother's Day!!
