yesterday the little red car took mom to the doctor for her blood tests..the sisters, miss apron and miss scarf accompanied her, as well as bernie and myself.in this picture with mom golden is our apron.
and this is the restaurant where miss apron wanted to treat the whole group, and for a reason;this is the blue star restaurant where mom golden worked 56 years ago!
dad golden was out of work at that time and with six hungry mouths to feed, mom golden was obliged to get a job.
here is what mom golden looked like when she worked at the blue star.
while we were there, i must tell you what happened.this is a story that must be heard and miss apron and miss scarf were all ears as i told this to mom golden.
"do you see the kitty in bernie's wallet mom?"
"yes."
"well this kitty came to bernie all the way from india, and mom, it came at just the right time..amrita, our good friend sent it and it came later than what she was hoping..it came very soon after bernie's kitty died. this picture is such a comfort to bernie."
amrita, when bernie got that picture, he put it right into his wallet and every time he opens that wallet, there is that kitty from india smiling at him and his heart is glad!
how blessed we sisters are to have such a wonderful sisterhood family.
we are all different but we all are the same!...love and sympathy and prayers and god bind us all together!
bernie let me hold the card for this closer view of that lovely cat.
now today miss apron had just a wee bit of complaining to do,."what is it with you canadians? how come you go to the blood clinics all the time...three times this week i have had to go with you!"ha!..here bernie stands in front of the blood clinic where he had just had some blood sucked out of him! now miss scarf was all sympathy as she clung around bernie's neck!
meanwhile back at the parking lot, there was the poor little red car waiting for us and freezing in the snow that the idaho snow queen had dumped on us....NOT nice!i guess if i hear from that said snow queen, i will be sending miss arpon along toute de suite to the next fortunate sister this friday morning......love terry

Miss apron soon will turn into a nurses uniform, and that is not bad. How good that we all are allowed to get medical help as we by the grace of Lord are growing elder.
The Blue Star restaurant also needed ladies with apron. Back then they all were wearing short, neat aprons. Today most restaurants have waiters wearing foot long aprons looking just like the restaurant's tablecloth.
Not chick.
That woman on the picture actually looks like a pic I've seen of Mom Golden. Is it by any chance her?
How brave of her to take upon such work with six children at home.
Indeed she is a woman earning more and more respect, the better I leaarn to know her.
Send her my best.

yeh dear felisol..for sure and. this is my ma!
she is so cute, you know.
mom never forgets a face and sometimes she sees an older gent, [because bernie and i know lots of them from our coffee breaks at the local fast food places in welland] and there have been several times when mom golden is with us that she will say, "i remember you! you used to go the blue star restaurant when i worked there Do you remember me?"...so cute, ha!
they look at her sweet wrinkled face and you can see by THEIR faces that they surely wished they DID!!
she is such a darling!...yep that is mom golden in the picture..i just slipped her in there nice and easy...love terry
Aaah. Your mom looks so good. I'm sure she enjoys all the fuss you and Bernie make over her. What a nice post and it's great to see her at her old stomping ground! Tell her I say Hi!
What an adventure. I love the kitty. Indeed a great lesson for all of us.
Hugs,

Mom Golden is a beauty.
