1. I refer to my mother as “Martha Stewart’s one-armed sister” because she is able to make all things beautiful and she is doing it with one less appendage.
2. She usually helps me out when I entertain. While we are in the planning stage she will float an idea with the reassurance, “It is so simple!” For 35 years this fooled me.
3. Now I know I should question the certainty on the simplicity of a thing from someone with one arm. I think she has transcended simplicity. If I had one arm tying my shoe would be complicated. It is for my mom too, but she doesn’t know it.
I love these posts about your mom. She seems larger than life.
Ditto Sheila’s thoughts exactly!!!
