Mom...& Mother's Day

Mother's Day is always special...knowing my Mother and all she is to me has blessed my life with so much good...Thanks Mom!
Also in May is My Mom's birthday too...so we always celebrate in May.
My Mom turned ... 80 this May. At 80 my Mom can still... cook the best Homemade Sauce & Pasta ever and her salad is just right...something about how she mixes all the ingredients perfect...olive oil, red wine vinegar all together...she can still tap a few steps...sing a good song...play a little on the piano and share her love.
Most of all I just love to be with our family and hear the stories of her growing up and sharing the memories of her life. My Mom has been my hero and still is today. So on Mother's day we got together and grilled some steaks and had a relaxing Sunday at home.I made a trip to our favorite bakery...Manninos to get Mom a Sicilian Cassata Cake and some Cannolis too...thanks to Phil, and his Italian heritage we know good authentic Italian food and enjoy sharing as a family cooking and eating all
the wonderful dishes. I will always be thankful for my Mom and who she is... a beautiful lady.
