Maria’s Duck Watercolor
I went to a memorial service today, a friend’s mother had passed. Over the many years I’d spent time with her, my friend, his wife and son, often sharing holiday dinners.
Today I learned many interesting new things about her from her friends and family. One of the most surprising was that after her husband passed, she took up watercolors. Her son invited everyone to go through her paintings and take any that they would enjoy.
It felt like she painted the duck for me, so it came home with me tonight.
I also have one off her favorite recipes for apple cake, that she always made for friends. I’m going to transcribe it and make copies for everyone. I will of course also be making it.
I hope the next time my friends come to my house for dinner, seeing the duck will be a happy memory. And maybe we’ll have apple cake.
