My mom was the last generation of the full time housewives. She felt both trapped but also relished her kitchen and garden. Hard work was in her DNA as a farm kid. I just wanted her to let go of some control and perfection and just have fun. Mixed feelings for me on holidays since she's gone.
I get that. My mother loved caring for the house. But she wanted so much more and was capable of so much more. But it was the times and she believed what she was doing was the most important job in the world. She never complained.

This brought tears to me this morning, remember so much kitchen labor by me, my mother, my grandmother. Thank you.
Ah, memories is what I was hoping to evoke. Thank you!
Lovely, will think of this as I begin preparing our dinner soon!
Happy Thanksgiving, David. Such memories of my childhood were evoked by this. Thank you!
Perfect for today! Thank you for sharing!
