This One's For You, Mom

This is a great post, Lew and a nice story to go with it. I am sure that your mother will get a lot of enjoyment from this spoon.

Great post Lew. She will enjoy here new gift.

A thoughtful gift that she will use (in one of many ways) for many years!

Your story reminds me of my cousin’s Weapon Of Choice. She raised 5 kids and bought a 5 foot rice paddle and hung it on the kitchen wall. When ever one of them (or several) got out of hand, the rice paddle came off the wall. It didn’t have to very often, as the first demonstration was pretty memorable.

glad my mom didn’t know any LJ’s like you. The cheapies she had were bad enough.

Just lovely. You must have some fantastic bruises, and a lot of love and learning surrounding each one :)

Nice gift to your mom.
I supposed she would never use it as weapon against your good self, coz she knew you have tools to use as the shield!
