Growing up, my life was full of love and family, as most any normal child's should be. My family wasn't wealthy, but we always had "enough" - and extra when it came to the giggles of life. I remember as a very small girl, standing and watching my daddy (an artist) painting at his "big desk." I remember my mom walking to the back yard with me to give a proper burial to my fish who died, because that's what we do with dead loved ones... we bury them. (we do NOT flush them!).
My family life was filled with Magic Cake and Lima Beans, Mashed Potatoes and Worms and the best green bicycle ever. Late night neighborhood games of kick the can. My BFF who lived across the street. Summers spent avoiding the rotten plums on the ground in my BFF's yard, while we picked through them looking for summer treats that were safe to eat while swinging on her swing set. Before the zombie apocalypse, we had the Oshkanoggins. When I was very young I saw the original black and white version of King Kong in the movie theater, and cried all the way home when they killed him, and have never watched it again.
Welcome. I hope you like cake and beans!
