Not too Cheery until Cream Cheese and Cherry !

Mom called this morning to see if I could drive her to her Drs' appt...this was after several conversations , over the past few days,about how she wanted to be" independent" and knew she could do it, ( drive there ) on her own. So , a skiff of snow and a sleepness night , resulted in her calling me,to taxi her there and back. My morning plans now, had to be altered, and I was not feeling very cheery about my day being disrupted... but off I went to Mom's apt to pick her up. I "buzzed" her, said I'd wait in the car , rather sternly and with engine idiling,watched for her to descend the stairs. ...And she did, with a small box clutched in her hand , actually a box that had once contained Laura Secord chocolates."Have you eaten? Mom asked because  I made you a sandwich..... I had all the ingredients in.but it won't be nearly as flavourful because it hasn't had time to sit :-) .I knew without  asking, what Mom had made for me..my very favourite sandwich ....cream cheese and cherry !!! So, I drove Mom to her Drs appt.and while she was there , I sat in  my car, in the Lawtons parking lot ,and ate my CC&C sandwich, which was made with so much love and realized that my mother had taught me once again ,that there is always an upside ! :-)
