Good Timing

I was searching my work email for some info from indie record reps -and bumped into this email exchange between my mom and I.  This is from before she was diagnosed, before I was pregnant, before just about everything crazy that has happened in the last 2 1/2 years.  Just a normal Mom and me conversation focused around holiday food...a pretty important subject for any holiday.  I've got my lamb mold and with Easter just around the corner, I'm happy to have stumbled upon this email exchange.  It's like it was meant to be.  Love you, Mom.

 Mom,

I heard you have your email up and running!  That's great.  No more

confusion.

I made some Easter egg shaped sugar cookies and we are going to color

 them this weekend.  I'm having another horribly busy week filled to

 the brim so it will be fun to decorate them.

 I went to Michaels and AC Moore to buy a Lamb Cake mold and they were

 sold out!  Oh well, the cookies will be fun.

Maybe a lamb cake next year.  How's everything at home, is it getting green yet?

 Sorry your work fills you to the brin.   I know doing the cookies will

 be good for you.   I have a lamb cake mold and I will get it to you for

 next year.   I usually did a pound cake recipe for the body.   What's

 for dinner on Easter?   I'm not sure I like this gmail, but everything

 is coming to me direct.    I have 74 messages.   Love you both, mom

The cookies turned out great.  Great flavor (lemon zest) and baked

 perfect.  And I put almond flavoring in the frosting.  I've finally

 found the perfect decorating combo.  We had the Cooper's over last

 night and had dinner then decorated the cookies.  Of course the boys

 were writing swear words with frosting and then eating them.  Jason

 got bored pretty quick and took pictures - but overall it was fun.

 I have tons of frosting left over in all colors.  They are all still

 in the bags in the fridge.  Pink, blue, purple, green yellow and white.

 Now what?

 I'm back at work today - working on a project.  Jason is here with me,

 doing work too.

We'll probably make something for Easter dinner, but not sure what. 

 You know how much I love ham! (haha - not a huge fan)

What are you making?

Cookie decorating evening, what fun!!!   Buy some graham crackers for

the left over icing and spread it between like a sandwich cookie.

It's really good.   Did you get my e-mail about the lamb cake mold?

I'm still not sure about the g-mail address, but I got 87 responses to

go through.   Yes, we are having a ham for Easter dinner.   I buy the

ham with the bone in (shank).   Dad says the meat by the bone is alway

very tender.   We will put brown sugar, pineapple and cloves on it to

cook.   Some times I make spilt pea soup with the bone.   We'll call

tomorrow.

Love, mom
