The DU Lounge

We inherited all of my mom's kitchenware when she passed five years ago and some of it was her mother's. I LOVE watching my daughter make our cherished family spaghetti recipe using the same food mill that her great-grandma used!

When my brother comes down to visit, he often opens a drawer and sees some utensil or other - something as simple as an ice-cream scoop or a spatula - and he sighs contentedly and smiles, "It still exists!" It's just one more way of making my family, who has been rocked by loss after loss, feel like they can still come home..
