Mom

It all started with a can of cling peaches

by Kathi D on April 6, 2010

I’m not saying that the women in my family are exactly like Edith Bunker, beloved wife of Archie Bunker from All in the Family, but we do like to circle every which way around a story before coming to the point. Edith came home from the market very disheveled one day and Archie asked her [...]

Mom, monkey bread, and the scary can

by Kathi D on July 28, 2009

My mom died shortly before her birthday four years ago, otherwise she would have turned 91 yesterday. I’m a little ashamed to admit that I used canned biscuits to make a batch of monkey bread yesterday, on her birth anniversary, because among the many things Mom taught me was how to make a damn good [...]

M-O-M

by Kathi D on May 8, 2009

Mis for the many things you taught me, like the time your much-laundered Keds had a hole in the toe and you painted your pinky toe white so it would be less noticeable, that a gal with a sweet Southern accent can always talk her way out of a ticket (my accent isn’t sweet enough or Southern [...]

Mom and the cling peaches

by Kathi D on April 28, 2009

by Kathi D on March 20, 2009

I didn’t realize that today was going to be the First Day of Spring, but I must have sensed it, because yesterday I hung the sheets outside to dry for the first time this year. Mmmmmmmmm the smell of sunshine in the sheets . . . I love hanging laundry outside to dry. It reminds [...]

You almost can’t be too careful redux

by Kathi D on November 3, 2008

Due to my extreme laziness busy-ness what with puppies hanging on my pants legs and chickens roosting in my hair and all, I have decided to start a New Tradition (until I get tired of it) of posting reruns Greatest Hits on Mondays. I believe I will call it, er, um, let me see  . [...]

This explains a lot

by Kathi D on July 24, 2008

I unearthed a document recently that is as old as I am (238 years). I must say, it answered a lot of questions that had been simmering at the back of my mind my whole life. One, was I really left on my parents’ doorstep, wrapped in a potato sack, like my brother Bob always [...]
