Mothers are like that…
Every once in a while a gem appears – this time on the counter at the thrift store. There, in resplendent purple, was a splendid 1970something little gift book for mothers called Mothers Are Like That.
It was originally a gift from Paul, Ann, Alfie, Manon and Damon to their mother & grandmother, whoever she may be. Thank you for passing it on to Salvation Army and allowing this treasure to fall into my hands!
Over the next month we’ll be sharing images & commentary from this splendid little Mother-honouring book. Hidden within are treasures of wisdom and insight into the life of a mother. For example, did you know that Mothers like clouds and rainbows and a sun that’s shining bright? It is charming, playful, full of blatant stereotypes, and just plain heart-warming.
Gratitude to the creators of:
Mothers Are Like That by Jo-Ann M. Daughterty from “The Sunbeam Library” in 1970 or so. Illustrated by Barbi Sargent (creator of the Strawberry Shortcake character) and Craig Brown.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
