Mama Says...

Went to lunch with my

sister and brothers.

Remember when I told you

that my sister finds

the perfect gift for someone?

Here's a few things she gave me

(belated birthday gifts).
 

kitchen dish towel
 

 

She found this cook book,

and someone wrote something in it.

I love old books
because they have been
shared, held, read, and enjoyed
by many.

It tells me that the book

has a history.  : )
 

 

 

This tea cup with the word

'Opa

was meant for me.
 

 

My brother gave me a box of
assorted chocolates,

which we all shared.
 

 

The restaurant that we went to

serves duck fries.

Sounds peculiar, right?

They are cooked in duck oil,

and they are delicious.

We shared a plate of those too.
 

 

I love going out to lunch

with my sister and brothers now and then.

It's nice to catch up on

each other's lives, and we share

each other's struggles, disappointments,

happiness, and most of all,

family stories.
