» pamela_saint - Of bears and berries

Sandy,

I smiled continuously as I read your lovely Mae/bear articles. I wish my mother had the same perspective when I was young and stuck inside with my list of chores.

Once when told to shovel the snow off the driveway, I devised a brilliant plan: pots of boiled water tossed on the driveway would melt the snow and save me much physical labor. Needless to say, I never had to shovel again!

Happy spring!

That's funny, Pamela! I remember the same list of chores, but my dad did the shoveling. We didn't have a place of honor either, we got an allowance. A quarter every week, and you can bet we bought 50 pieces of half-penny candy!

Hope your holiday is fun-filled and happy!

I loved this end to the story and especially loved seeing your girls swimming. What a wise Mom - Mae may have an equal here!

8) I very much enjoyed the story, both yours and Mae's. How very true, and how often overlooked. Thank you, I hope that my perspective will respond as well as yours.
