Good evening Connie, This is just the way things are isn't it. My mom can't seem to get used to the fact that she doesn't have to do any cooking for holiday dinners anymore... that she can't do the cooking for holiday dinners anymore! She's 90, she get's to rest... we go there and make dinner! :)

Thank you, Susan, for your review. Your mom now gets to rest at 90. Sounds like she's earned it.

Her hands

that once had baked

family favorites

fold now on her lap as years slip

away
This reminds me of my grandmother whose cooking was legend. Granddad told how her Yorkshire pudding rose so high they couldn't get it out of the oven
Beautiful memories of love
God bless

Hi Connie,

This is such a lovely write with very sweet sentiment. Is this your grandma, perhaps, that you are writing about? Your poem is a great contest entry and should be a strong contender. Best of luck in the voting booth and thanks for sharing your work. Jan :-)

Thank you so much, Jan, for your most thoughtful review. No, this is not my grandmother but my mother-in-law. When I married into this family, I knew I would never be the baker that my husband's mother was!
