I’m fifty years old, married almost 25 years, with four sons of various ages ranging from all grown up to still-working-on-it. ? an illustration I did for one of my son’s books. This is a butcher board table my husband and sons made when we were living in a rental with very little useful counter space.

I’m a 53-year-old mother of 2 (grown) and grandmother of 4. My daughter lives in California and we talk regularly. My son and his family live in Montana. Tell us a bit about yourself. I’ve been divorced (unmarried) for 15 years. Wow, time flies. My ex-husband and I have an amicable relationship.

I’m pretty sure I always sang it as Grandmother’s house, which is weird since we actually went to my Grandfather’s house for holidays. The day starts/started with my mother or me or now my daughter getting up and stuffing the bird and getting it into the oven. Then my daughter required mashed potatoes.
