Everytime I would go visit my mom in Arizona, she would always have freshly made banana bread on the table when I arrived. It was always a treat to see her, because I knew I would undoubtedly get my favoroite snack. The whole house would be neat and tidy when I got there. Everything had its place in her house. My baby pictures were scattered around, along with pictures of the rest of out swedish family. My mom and I were never close. Besides out Swedish heritage this was the one thing that brought us together. I would finally get some quality time with her while muching on my favorite snack. These were some of my most treasured memories with my mom as a child.
