Today our family had my mom, dad, Aunt Kathy, and Kent's mom and dad over for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. It wasn't anything special and we even ate on plastic plates (thank's mom for your contribution). I found old pictures of Kent's mom's mom (Grammie) and dad's mom (Mam-maw), along with my mom's mom (Granny), and my dad and Aunt Kathy's mom (Memaw) and put them on the table as a centerpiece.
But I think my most favorite thing about today was eating a big piece of pink angel food cake. What's so special about angel food cake? Well, nothing.
What's so special about PINK angel food cake?? Well, everything!
I grew up eating pink angel food cakes, baked by my very own Memaw. Everytime she made an angel food cake, it was pink. I'm not sure when and why she started making them pink, but I'm glad she did. It set her apart from the rest and gave us a wonderful tradition. Come to think of it, everything was pink when it came to Memaw. Her clothes, her decor, and even the marshmallows stashed in her freezer were pink. (The whole frozen marshmallow thing is a mystery to me, but hey)
To all the mom's - Hope you had a great day! Now, go clean up the mess everyone made while you had your day "off".......

Danielle, Aunt Kathy and I commented on the way home how thoughtful you were to bake the angel food cake. It made the evening even more special for us. It not only looked like MeeMaw's cake, it tasted like hers. I t was delicious! Thanks.
I also enjoyed the picture of the Ross clan. I don't remember seeing that before.
Love,
Dad aka, Dude
