ginny,

That's NOT FAIR. It could take ages to type it all in!

She taught me lots of lessons. She was a teacher after all. A gourmet
chef and an accomplished piano player and patron of the opera.

Aside from growing up eating bread and butter and plain hamburgers and
spaghetti and butter (NO CHEESE), she made a scrumptious veal parmesan on
occasion.

She scarred me for life for opening a canned ham, back in the early 60s
and slicing it up cold and serving us for dinner. I took one bite and
between the jelly slime and the saltiness, I prompty puked on the kitchen
table. She never served ham again.

My favorite memory was the "$Million-dollar lunchbox" in first grade. We
gathered in the cafeteria for lunchtime and I opened up my lunchbox and
my thermos was missing. My sandwich was missing. My cookies were missing.
But magically in there place was Mom's wallet. She must've been hungover
or SOMETHING! I opened her wallet and it was full of money and credit
cards and change and (I've told this before) I made a 1st grade executive
decision and took 35 cents and bought a hot lunch AND chocolate milks.
Living large for a day.
