My Apron memories

I am so pleased everyone like the article. I actually sent it to Betsy to see what she thought and asked where to post.

I never knew my grandmothers but I had an aunt who was my grandmother's sister on my mom's side of the family. She was a character,had a parakeet named Pete who rode around on her shoulder all the time. She was probably the very first Martha Stewart! What a cook, what a homemaker and a wonderful scrabble player.

When she got up in the morning, on went the apron. It stayed on all day. Always a freshly-starched-ironed apron. No wrinkles for her. I do remember her taking it off if she was going to the bank. That was an occasion for her!

My mother wore an apron most of the time when she cooked and was always telling me to put one on. I have great memories of the women in my family in the kitchen with the ever present "apron".

Enjoy your aprons and the memories you are creating!
