Photo of the Day - Memories of My Mom

My Mom made this simple gift for me in 1999.  It sits above my kitchen table
 where I can always see it and remember her with love. 
I loved sitting at my Mom's kitchen table with my sisters and our cups of tea. 
 We could talk, laugh, and pick at each other for hours.  
What I wouldn't give for one more time at Jo's kitchen table.  

Ode to Jo ~
Golfballs for dinner.
 Books abound, the smell of paint all around.
 Stink eye and pink eye.
 Love, knowledge and courage.
 Cats, kids, messes, and kisses.

I intentionally took this photo at crooked angle.  My Mom was a lefty and 
we always teased her about how everything she did was just a little off-kilter.
