Big Helen and I are tie-ing one on for her last night with us, until the next time she can stand to hang here with us. Mom’s Tie o’ the Day is full of snowmen. She loves snowmen. And, of course, I’m wearing candy canes and canines. Around the holidays, Mom customarily makes toffee, caramels, cracker jack popcorn, and cookies for every person she’s ever met. She hasn’t shown much interest in that generous tradition this year. That’s ok. She deserves to lay down her candy spoon. 🥄
