Lets hear it for my Mom

I love having my Mom come visit. She isn't a shopper, unless it is Good-Will or a garage sale. She isn't much of a reader, unless it is Portals of Prayer, Reader's Digest, or The Limbaugh Letter. What she is though, is a doer, a woman of action, a woman who wants to work, who likes to work, and who is happy to be busy. I'm happy to honor this.

For the next two weeks, she'll make sure every dish is washed shortly after each meal; she'll cook any meal I want her too as long as I tell her what and when; if she sees something out of place and knows what to do with it, it gets put where it goes. She will also can my applesauce for me, freeze apples for pie, fix the zucchini into breads for freezing, freeze the squash, while I continue to educate her 5 grandchildren.

Oh stop thinking I'm torturing her. She likes it this way - really! Plus I do help too, because it is so fun to get work done with someone else. You know how in the back of your mind, you always want a maid who will do the behind the scenes work, and the extra work while you're busy nursing a baby or teaching a child or anything else; and how that dream always includes being able to get many things done? Well, I'm living that dream right now and am glad I have two weeks.
