My mother has always been a very giving woman. She shares her birthday (incidentally, today) with my sister and my Aunt Sue. She shares her infinite wisdom with me on a more-than-regular basis. She's even, on occasion, been known to share her wine. Most recently, in a roundabout way, she shared with me her recipe for cookie-press Buttery Spritz Cookies, and they're my new favorite thing to bake.
