 Prepared by my son, presented on a beautiful, sturdy, seasonally appropriate paper plate, clean up and

dishes done by Queen T and TBG while I sat outside with my beautiful, sturdy, seasonally appropriate paper plate and talked for an hour to The Ballerina in Arkansas, catching up and dishing dirt and remembering Colin Powell and soccer and sisterhood.

2. You share a very special bond with the women you raise your children with.
