Today’s standards did not apply back in 1959. Mom was on vacation from raising her four young ones on her own. Did a great job judging from today’s results. However being a youthful 12 at the time, I questioned the reasoning of her vacation. However my questioning mind relaxed on the arrival of Mrs. Crocker if I recall her name correctly. Deep fried foods were not listed as food items to be avoided. Especially in my then youthful mind. Mrs. Crocker kept us in line with a unending supply of deep fried donuts, to those who did their chores. Her stay was short lived as I recall. Mom arrived back home from vacation with our new addition a baby brother. Miss and love you Mom. Our baby brother’s age now matches his year of birth. Mom’s love lives on in each of us and our children, her grandchildren. An added bonus it magnifies itself in our grandchildren…her great-grandchildren. Those deep fried sugared donuts were great. However they fade in comparison to the love of our Mom. Happy Mother’s Day Mom.
