Hello friends, you may have noticed I’ve been radio silent for a while. There’s a reason for that. Two weeks ago today my mom died very suddenly of a heart attack. She was 64 years old. It’s been tough to process. I’m not sure I ever fully will. My mom taught me a lot. She’s the reason I love history. She got me hooked on Laura Ingalls Wilder, L.M. Montgomery, and the American Girls books as a kid. She made a point of taking me and my sister to historic sites throughout the Midwest.
I'm so sorry about your mother. I consider 64 still young. I will be 70 in two weeks. I know it was a terrible shock. You two did a lot together thru out the years. I love history also, but never thought about food history. I've really enjoyed your writings. I sew and quilt, and do many other things, but writing is not one of them. You will always have great memories. I shared your site with another friend. Take care of yourself.
A beautiful tribute to your mother, Sarah! I don’t think we’re ever ready to let go of those we love, but losing your mother so suddenly and so young is hardest of all. Wishing you solace and healing through fond memories. She sounds like a very loving and supportive mom.

This piece is a beautiful tribute to a very special person. She must be so proud of you.
I’m thinking about you and your family, Sarah! A beautiful remembrance of your Mom.
Beautiful!
I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and your family.
I'm so sad to hear. My mother died a year ago on the 24th. She was ready. I wasn't. At 86. She's still with me everyday.
Thanks, everyone. <3 I so appreciate all of your kind comments and support.
