Happy Mother's Day!

Mom Christine 1970

My mom and my sister, Christine.

I am truly lucky-- I have an AMAZING mom. Her  joy, her strength, and her love of life are a constant inspiration. Not to mention, she always gives me fresh, clean towels. (love you, mom!)

"...My love of Fresh, Clean Towels,

I got it from my Mom,

She told me if she could

she'd have a fresh towel ev'ry morn,

and I said,  "Mama, I sure do love you--

I wanna fresh towel, too..."

~from "Fresh, Clean Towels", Erin and her Cello, 2008.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE SWEET MAMAS!!!

love,

Erin and her Cello
