While making the apron in the slide show, so children could see an example, I mull over our “great recession.” I thought of those Grandmothers wearing their aprons through “The Great Depression,” through WWI and WWII, through their children’s illness' like Polio, sickness that we do not know about in our life time. Brave mother’s in their aprons, creating a home for their families despite what the world brought to their door step. Recession or not, I am grateful to be a mother in this time of our country’s history.
