Love your mom's drawings, always, and Pure Prairie League! "Amie, whatcha gonna do?" I LOVED that song, and just learned moments ago that Vince Gill was in the band. I didn't know that, and was a huge Vince Gill fan back in the early 90s. Great post, Amie.
I love that your mom quoted Eeyore! I can picture the glorious weather for the picnic. Our lawn is covered in violets earlier in the spring. I have tasted them, but I will have to try your candied recipes. Addition to a cocktail?
Absolutely delightful, as words and musings from your mother always were. I always waited with excitement for her monthly newsletter/recipe sharings to arrive. Once in my hands, anything else I was doing took a back seat to my compulsion to flop in my favorite chair and read it in its entirety.
I’ll be first in line to sign up and have friends who also subscribed to that beloved newsletter. When mine would arrive in the mail, I would call my neighbor, or she me, and we would discuss the whole thing and laugh and decide which recipes we were going to try first. Miss that so much. And, yes there is Magic in those papers arriving in one’s mailbox.

Thanks for that fun fact, Mary—I didn’t know that either!
I’m so taken with the sweetness of the picnic illustration! 🧺 😊
I love your mum’s sketch! How special!

Interesting twist! Report back if you try it, Vicki!

I’ve been toying with a future return to an old school, offline version of the original. There’s something magic about mail and paper, right?
