You Never Know...



I bought these pretty vintage aprons many years ago, one by one as they caught my eye and made me think that they might help my kitchen skills. They have not. But they are in use these days rather often! And that makes me so happy it's ridiculous. 

My two grown sons (hope you're not tired of this gushing concerning them) each have chosen a Sweetheart who loves to cook. I am not going to analyze that too far....possibly something to do with a mother who hates to cook and let everyone know it? Oh well, their loss is my gain, and their gain also I suppose!

Today I was hanging these up in a more visible place now that they have been pulled from the bottom of a drawer. The girls have used these several times now. I brought these home from garage sales and little boutiques with no idea how they would someday be worn by my "daughter-in-law and my daughter-in-love."  No, those descriptions do not work well at all! One is married to Writer Son and the other is living with Rocker Son. I love them both dearly and would be thrilled to have them both in my life forever! But they are not both "wives", not sure how to talk about them as a group, other than  saying "my son's sweethearts", and that doesn't seem right either. Oh well....

Anyway, it makes me smile to see them on "my girls" in my kitchen. I bought them with myself in mind only. Of course, years ago when we bought Writer Son a two foot tall plastic replica of Batman, we had no idea that he would be someday bargaining with his non-geek wife about where he could display it in their home! Ha! Poor girl!

You just never know.....

  1. Yup; life is full of surprises. You cannot predict what will happen next. Perhaps a good thing; it leaves room for all kinds of possibilities, which is so very important.

  8. I love the term 'daughter-in-love'! You are fortunate to have good relationships with them. The scene in your kitchen sounds so fun!

  10. Very pretty. Nice thoughts too. I'd definitely not analyze it and count new cooking additions to the family a plus and a blessing. :)
