With the recent passing of my mother, I have been reflecting on some of her characteristics that I admire. One of them was her subtle way of parenting me when I didn't know she was doing it.
I have written a short story about her coffee habit and the affect it had on my eventual introduction to adulthood.
Please visit my blog and let me know what you think. I would love to have farmgirl feedback.

Very nice. Made me think of some special times with my own mother and how I need to start writing things so my children can see her through my eyes. They knew her well and loved her. You made me want to start writing now!
Be Blessed,

That was incredibly sweet. Isn't it funny how one little thing, can bring us back, can make us so nostalgic. I am a avid coffee drinker, and I rise 3:30am when my DH is working. I too, sit with my legs crossed at the table, while my children sleep. I use it as the only *me* time I get. I either sit still, think, and pray; or I use it as my devotional time. Who do I model my behaviour after? My mother, who faithfully woke hours before me and my sister for her *me time* and a cup of coffee.
Your blog is beautifully done, and this newest post was really great to read.
The tears I shed then, watered the flowers I harvest now.

Ahhh thanks girls. My sister read it and it made her think of mornings when our mother would help her make homemade paper dolls. She got busy and made up a new set for herself to play with.
I think it is very healthy to, on occasion, let yourself be a little girl again.

O, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it!
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only--how did you take it?

Sherone: You are a good writer. Make more of these vinyettes (sp?). They could come together in a very wonderful recipe and memory book with maybe some old pictures too.
