This is my Mother's Day tribute from my first cookbook 'Starting Fresh'. This is a special day for all of us! A Piece Of Cake.
This cookbook is a tribute to the wonderful women who have been the ingredients in my life.
My grandmothers, who would be each the butter and the spice.
My own mother, a peach strong and sweet, who perished much to soon.
My mother-in-law, who having spent her life in the WhistleStop Cafe, is self- rising flour.
My sister who has been both the whisk that keeps me going and the stable source of my flame.
My delightful daughter (my son too) and my nieces, all the sprinkles, nuts and topping that have kept my life interesting.
My sisters-in-law who have shared their recipes for life.
My dozens of friends who have kept my strong shell from cracking.
All in all, life has not been a piece of cake... 
but still, so sweet.
but still, so sweet.For that I am always grateful.
Y'all don't forget to call and wish someone special a Happy Mother's Day!
Sandi

Sandi, this post touched my heart in such a deep and moving way. First of all the top photo is just adorable. You are as cute as a button then and now! Second I think we all miss our mothers who have passed on so much, especially on this day. I'm sure your mom was a peach of a woman knowing she gave birth to someone as nice as you. Have a glorious Mother's Day! I love the regal look of the present day photo! Have fun. Barb Cabot

I've been away for 2 months in ARIZONA so I have not been visiting blogs..too difficult to stay indoors when the sun is shining and many adventures to go on! I'm back now and looking forward to more stops at the cafe!
Happy Mother/Grandmother's Day Sandi! That is an absolutely wonderful book dedication -- we are all a part of the love and influences of many wonderful women.
Hugs, Pat

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day Sandi. My daughter came up and we painted the living room trim - for two days! I can barely move this morning, but we had so much FUN! Take care.
Sandi, I loved the pictures and the great tribute to your Moms and kids. We are all so lucky.
See you soon!
I love your blog! And your Whitstle Stop website is adorable!!
