Reassigning function

I'm sure that must be a quote from some incredibly profound piece of literature, but I don't recognize it.

Thanks, it was the left one of a favorite pair. ;->

My Mother died when I was 32, she stayed with us a few months after we lost my Dad; my children knew both of them well and spent many happy times with them. Also, even after a messy divorce, I made certain my children remained close to the their other DGF and his Sister. In fact, his DS was one of my best friends till her death last year. Emily

Sheesh, now you want profound. There's no pleasing you, is there?

Sure there is, send Godivas... ;->

Beverly

I think that was extremely wise as well as civilized of you. Kids should never be pawns. Yours were fortunate.

Like someone in another newsgroup who was in the South and had never eaten grits. So when they were in a restaurant and the waitress asked if she wanted grits with her meal, she asked for just one to see if she liked it.

And she probably didn't, right? ;-)

Beverly, who loathes okra, too

Okra, boiled, is awful. Okra in gumbo is OK. Okra dipped in egg and seasoned batter and deep fried is delicious. Of course, you don't taste the okra at all that way, just the tasty batter. ;-) I had a roommate from Georgia who fixed it that way, and she also made fried chicken that you could eat the bones, it was so good. She passed away in February, but I think of her often.

I made my daughter a Wall hanging , with `pieces` [mainly cut parts of things otherwise ruined] from my late mother , my husbands GM. Her own T shirt fronts with names of courses or summer courses she took or gave, i added several things Typical to her . She likes it and hung onm her bedside wall. mirjam

This reminds me !! i have a grande apple tree, my daughter traveled to Europe and i sent with her some for our relatives. Never heard a word , but when i was due to travel a week or so to same house, i phoned and asked , if they would like more of my fruits. Lady of the house coughed a bit and said "No thank you!!! , It was very bitter !".... "Bitter i wondered, my granade apples are famous for their sweetness ???" -------------" Weeeeeeellllll," she said , "after i threw out the pits , the rest was ever so bitter !!!!" ........i was speechless....... mirjam
