Mothers Keep Us Humble


This is the Blackberry-Blueberry Pie I made yesterday after my trip to the market. I think it is quite lovely and so I thought I would take my mom a piece---kind of an offering to the goddess of baking, if you will(she used to be an excellent baker). I cut a wedge and we took it to her---complete with camera to record the moment when she would nod her approval. She put the fork to her lips, swallowed and said----"nothing out of the ordinary" I think you could actually hear the wind coming out of my sails. But then she looked at me sheepishly and said "did you make this---I hurt your feelings didn't I--I don't want to do that!" We all had a good laugh. Nothing like a mother to humble us!
