Here’s a image of the some of the aprons I mentioned my mother making around Christmas time. These belong to my sister and her three daughters. When not in use they make a wonderfully colorful tableau on her kitchen wall. polka dotted aprons! [...] This is making me homesick for the years of being able to read all day long, even though those were also the years I survived on Ramen soup and canned green beans.

For the third time. I’ve been looking for ways to overcome myself and my own lack of motivation – this episode features people doing just that.
