We buried mom today. If there’s one thing that stands out about my common experience with her, it is a mutual appreciation of great food. She was a wonderful and deeply resourceful chef, but she also loved to go out to have a great meal. As time went on and especially after Dad died, we spent most of our time together going out to eat. She would always enjoy comfort foods, and the easier to chew the better. She noted the success of a place by how well they cooked chopped sirloin with gravy and onions with a side of mashed potatoes. I plan to celebrate her memory with that meal often in the future.

So later today (this is yesterday’s sketch) we’re going to say our final goodbyes to mom. She was a beautiful woman in lots of different ways.

Coffee cup

Mom always had coffee brewed and waiting on the counter, often cold. It sometimes sat for hours and hours, but she would just put about 8 ounces in a cup, microwave it for a minute and 11 seconds, and set it up with an entire scoop of hot cocoa mix, a packet of sugar substitute, and an entire scoop of non dairy creamer. I was at least 17 before I knew what coffee actually tasted like, but I drank her concoction from the age of about 10 on. Hers tastes far better, but it makes everything else in the world taste a little plain.

As regular followers know, I lost my mom on Sunday. I imagine a lot of my remaining 2010 sketches will be influenced in some way by her memory. She was a fantastic cook, and had glorious Sunday roast beef dinners with 6 vegetables and homemade gravy. She taught me a lot about the art of seasoning, and I’ll never forget it.

310 of 365 is for Jack #Inkscape #typography #design

Do your best
Do your best

My son Jack turned 6 today. It’s funny how things happen, cosidering that my mom passed away yesterday, on Halloween, and now today, Jack turns six. He’s just old enough to know what’s going on in our family, and I’m very sad for him, but also, quite proud. He’s doing as well as any of us, and I think he’ll be just fine. The only piece of advice I can think of to give him for the next year of his life is the same thing that he has already been doing: giving his best. I love you Jack, and happy birthday wishes to you.
