Remembering Mom and the Holidays

One incident that happened for real was when I was seven years old.
Mom had tirelessly worked fixing up our home for the holiday.
Mom always used the Pine Sol as her favorite agent for the house.
Everything was smelling so clean and was clean.
Later that night we had our evening meal of oysters and how good they were.
I had a Pepsi cola to drink and spilled some on the newly clean floor.
Mom didn't get angry with what I had done but cleaned it up again.
Seeing the tree; in the corner, made for a really good happy holiday.
It is a time I will always remember as Mom laboring so hard to keep things looking nice and in order.
Mom was always like this the whole time of Mom being upon the earth.
Mom was one who was known for keeping a clean home.
This is but one memory of Mom and the things she did to make a house a home.
