I love this time of the year. All of the fall holidays bring back memories of when I was a young child. The smell of my mother baking would drift through the house for weeks as we anticipated the big feast. She was a baking fiend. We would have cakes, cookies, and of course just before the big feast of Thanksgiving, the pies would line the cabinet. We never thought about calories. Then as soon as Thanksgiving was over she started the frenzy of baking again. I have been able to collect most of her recipes. The wonderful news for my family is my mother is coming to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with us this year and I want to bake some of her recipes when she gets here. What fun we will have. My daughter has the holiday meals at her home but we can load the car up and bring our favorite dishes, ready to eat, with us. I treasure every holiday I get to spend with my mother as she was 85 this year. My granddaughter loves having time with her too. I lost my father 6 years ago so each day I spend with my mother is precious. I look forward to having her here at my home so we can talk about the previous holidays. It will be a fun time for my daughter's family too. I wish each and everyone a wonderful fun time during the holidays also.
Happy Holidays Everyone.
