As I knew I would not be with
my mother for Mother's Day I took a day off last week and went to Charleston
to spend the day with her.
We made a leisurely drive up to Georgetown

and across the beautiful marshes
of South Carolina.
After an enjoyable lunch at The Rice Paddy
After an enjoyable lunch at The Rice Paddy
we continued on to the country house
where
she had enjoyed entertaining friends and my father's customers for so
many years. It was wonderful to walk the grounds and listen to the
memories unfold once again.
On our drive back I kept us both in hysterics
On our drive back I kept us both in hysterics
as I remembered many of the crazy,
mischievous things I did as a child.
Mother often threw her head back,
putting the back of her hand on her
forehead and exclaimed
forehead and exclaimed
how she did not know how she had made it through all those times.
Then, with wonder in her voice she would say,
how had I, after being such a rascal as a child,
built a business like Caroline's Cakes.
"Well, I guess it was all worth it," she said.
And I reassured her that her influence in my life
was such a great part of everything I am doing
as I expand this wonderful cake company, keeping true to the values of quality and taking care of others......just as she taught me to do.
Thank you, Mother......and the biggest of hugs!
I am so very lucky she is here to enjoy this incredible ride with me.
