Mother's Day riddles

A dog, a moon, a ball and a forest -- those were the clues my 6-year-old son gave when trying to have me guess what my Mother's Day surprise involved. And two suns, he added later.

The actual surprise was this painting my husband commissioned of my German shepherd Reba, now deceased, and some of her favorite things.


The suns were a part of my breakfast in bed of Twin Sun Toast, another recipe from my son's Star Wars Cookbook. Like all the other dishes (Oola-la French Toast, Han-Burgers and Galaxy Grilled Cheese) we have made from this book, it tasted great. Although, he and his Dad made quite a mess of the frying pan.
