    My mother made my favorite treat (chess pies) many times for me.
    I can remember the wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen when I got home from school.
    Sometimes I hid mine so I could guarantee my share.
    When I grew up and became a teacher the treat was just as special when I got home, except that I hid mine from my husband and children, instead of just my brother.
