From My Eulogy- Homemaker Skills

One of the things I talked about at Mom's memorial service back in Febrary was what she taught me about the role of homemaker.  

"I learned so many things from Mom: how to cook, how to embroider, how to set a table, how to make a bed. But not just how to cook - to make a combination of foods that was pleasing to the eye as well as the palate. And not just how to make a bed - to make it with hospital corners, so the sheets and blankets stayed in place."

Some of these things I took completely for granted - until I started meeting those who couldn't cook and didn't know how to make a bed.  Thank you, Mom!
