   I would sometimes go to work with my dad on Saturday mornings. I learned how to drive a fork lift at a young age. The boss would “pay” me with whatever I wanted from the vending machines.

   Believe me, you don’t want your grandmother living with you. When I was a teenager we had BOTH grandmothers living with us. They didn’t like each other and I was their rope in their attention tug-of-war. What’s worse is that I had to share my room with one of them.

   I remember: My aunt & uncle had a cabin by a lake, and the whole family was allowed to use it. One time my grandmother took me & my dog for a weekend. We actually had a breakfast picnic on the raft. We swam out, bringing the cooler on a float. I’ll never forget.

   My mother was a regular letter-writer, sending letters & cards for all occasions. She would usually write at the kitchen table. Just a few feet away was a hutch, and our dictionary was on top of it…and easy reach.

   While my daughters can read an analog clock, they have a little trouble with my wording. If I say “2:45” they get it; if I say “quarter to three” they’re lost.
