Aprons

I have my mom's apron that she wore when I was a kid. It is very threadbare but I still use it. It is one I remember being allowed to wear when I helped in the kitchen. It is red flowered & has a pocket. It brings back fond memories of cooking lessons and meals together with my family. I have made many aprons since then & have quite a collection of old ones. I am always amazed that soemone could get rid of an apron. Doesn't it hold memories? How many of you have meories of an apron in your family? Maybe your grandmother or mom's? Let me know some of your stories.
