My sweet Consuela, sorry it took be so long to find this. I am speechless except to say I am humbled and hope I can live up to all those lovely thoughts. I love you more than words can say. XOXOXO P.S. I am sure your thumb is green after today. That was fun.

[Image] Mom and me, the day of her brother’s wedding, 1968-ish. From my mother I got: my face my love for and ability to cook and entertain my love of reading (although I remember my dad teaching me to read) my sense of style my need to make a house a home my work ethic (she shares that 50/50 with dad) my ability to be frugal when needed and make the best of a bad situation my compassion my ability to be a good sport, especially at card and board games my preference for British costume drama (and afternoon tea and other British things) …and my love of nerdy sci-fi. [Image] Mom and me, sailing in Long Island Sound, 1987-ish. I did not get: Her way with houseplants. I kill them all. Her unwavering faith. I question, question, question… Her patience. Need to work on that.
