We had a nice Mother's Day at Grandmother's House. Our ladies had flowers and chocolate strawberries... and as usual, had good food and loving attention.

My Mother, Georgina, received such a large plant that she is considering having it planted outside.

Horray to all our wonderful Mothers! 💕

Happy Valentine's from Grandmother's House!

Showcasing Angela on the job today. She goes back years with us!
--------
My youngest was a toddler and Angela's youngest was around 11 when she first came to work for us! Her daughter Ashley used to come to work with her Momma and sometimes she'd go out with my children and I.

The kids are all grown up now, living busy lives. Even though Angela's been living out of State for many years, we've kept up with each other. When she reached out by phone a few months ago I queried her about her work, offering her a job on the spot! We love having Angela back working with us!

Grandmother's House only uses cold pressed, organic oils in our kitchen. We prohibit purchasing unhealthy oils.

Finding out about rice cooked in unrefined coconut oil is good news!

I knew that eating rice which had been cooled and then re-warmed turned carbs into Resistant Starch. This makes it healthier because it feeds the gut biome and helps with insulin resistance.

Serve this re-warmed, coconut rice with any kind of legumes and you have a complete protein!

As pictures of Lynn's life flashed upon the screen yesterday morning, my Mother gave a little gasp. "I've seen this picture at Nancy's funeral, too!" she said.

It was true. There she was up on the big screen with her housemates! Last year the three ladies at Grandmother's House were each eighty-seven years old. One morning I'd snapped this photo as they sat together on the porch. Death never entered our minds! Nor that this particular photo would be chosen by both families to represent a chapter in their Mother's life at their funeral- first Nancy's and now Lynn's.

"I am feeling uncomfortable about that photo," my Mother whispered. "I am the only one left."

Her words fell heavy, yet I found myself responding way too brightly. "Don't worry, Mother!" I Paused. "You got me!"

I knew I was discounting her words, but I couldn't help it. My eyes were shiny and smarted as I pushed away my own fears.

Lynn was up and around one day and then gone the next. That day I snapped a photo of her by the Christmas tree with Angelia. I didn't know it would be her last photograph. Nor her last Christmas.

That night something came up and I decided to send her in to the hospital. As we waited for her daughter to arrive, she told me that she was ready to "go."
I avoided the thought, for I had no doubt that her spunky, sweet self would be back shortly. But somehow she knew.

My Mother asked about her the next morning when she wasn't at the breakfast table. She and Lynn were the same age and had become great friends. Later that day we went to see Lynn at the hospital. She looked good. Yet, she wasn't. It was the last time we saw her alive.

I took my Mother with me to her funeral this week. Funerals are the sad part of our work. But they are also very interesting and touching. We learn so much more about one's story! For one, I didn't know Lynn was part of a Sorority. I knew she loved animals, but I didn't know how much she loved her cows! I got to see several photos of the log cabin her husband built her and learned how many musical instruments she played- in addition to the piano. (I knew she'd been a concert pianist!) There was so much more! How we miss you Ms. Lynn! See you when Jesus comes!
