Mother’s Day Salute!

It seems only fitting that on this Mother’s Day I mention my mother, my grandmothers, and all my great-grandmothers – and my daughter!  Just think of all that is passed down through the years from mother to daughter – cooking, baking, love of reading, music, love of family, integrity, strength, graciousness, thoughts on how to be strong woman – so many things that make us the individuals we are today!  Here’s to mother’s everywhere!
