May Photos - My Mother

 It's funny - the photos we like of ourselves and the photos others like of us. This is my mother's favorite photo of herself. It was taken in the fifties at a Mardi Gras Ball where her older brother was the king. She has a giant version of this on her mantel and had smaller prints made for my sister and I about 20 years ago.

This would be her second favorite.This was actually a black and white photo of her from the forties. As a gift for her, I had it colorized but the artist got a detail wrong. That dress was a V-neck. But I was impressed at the accuracy of the other details.

Maybe these are not my favorites because I wasn't around then. This is not the mother I know. This next one is my favorite:

It was taken in the early eighties in our home in McComb, MS. Mother was doing dishes... as always. 

And this was was taken in my kitchen in 2010, after she allowed my sister to talk her into going gray. (I've nearly talked her out of that and she's almost ready to be brunette again!) She's holding Twinkie's brother Predrito and I simply love the smile on her face.

This is Murray River Flake Salt from Australia. To me, it is the finest, most amazing salt on the planet! It's thin flakes melt on the tongue and make anything taste better! Because of the diversion of the Murray River, the removal of salt is necessary. It's good for the crops in Australia that rely on the river for irrigation and it's awesome for food lovers of the world!

Since I've started using this, I find a lot less need for all this:

The bestie, her sister and I buy a HUGE bag of the stuff and divide it up...it's much cheaper that way.
