Dear Mimi,
The other day I was you. I've been noticing this more and more with each passing day...and I say this with pride. No, I haven't totally given in to the "free-range" movement or banished synthetic fabrics from my wardrobe. I did however find myself sneaking a cupcake in the kitchen as my daughter was screaming with awareness from the living room. Darn that emerging short-term memory. Ella apparently remembers the taste of her first sweet birthday treat just a few days prior. I recalled an incident in the late 80s when I found you in the garage hording a small box of Fannie Mae Pixies. I remember the empty wrappers crinkling beneath your finger tips and your look of surprise after being caught. I laughed to myself as I finished the cupcake in one bite and quickly returned to the living room to aid in Ella's recovery.
Thanks for teaching me the ropes Mom.
Love you...

I thought they were chocolate chip cookies but my memory may not be as good as it once was! Just remember...like grandmother, like mother, and like you...and maybe some day like your daughter, Ella. It is a wonderful thing and your grandmother, my mother would be so proud and excited to know her great grand daughter. You, Sarah (my dear daughter) and Ella are such a joy! Thanks for sharing and being in my life. I love you both so much. Mom/Harney/Mimi
