There was a time in my teenage life when I just knew I was the smartest cookie. Some of you may not think this is too terribly worthy of remembering but I do because it's a way of life for me now. GET THE MOST FOR YOUR MONEY!!!
After a long absence from home, Carolyn was back. I remember being in the kitchen with her and arguing over the brand of tomato sauce to use. This was when store brand/generic brand was just getting onto the shelves. Like I was going to buy no name vanilla wrappered food. This was an argument over tomato sauce for gosh sakes-that was going to be made into spaghetti sauce! Who cares what brand it is.
Anyway, I think I told her that I was right, she didn't live there and I was not going to use what she bought. Sorry...
Well, I do now buy plenty of generic and store brand food items. I also use a lot of coupons. So thanks Carolyn for teaching me to be cost conscious-not frugal.
A more recent memory was when Carolyn & Amei were visiting Arizona and they drove over to our house in Pima. The Graham County Fair was going on and so we spent an afternoon there. I had a great time. I think Amei did too. What about you? The cotton candy was great!

It was the best fair I ever went to! I was so glad you were the one to take Amei on those stomach-churning rides!
I don't remember the tomato sauce, but I do remember the lamb. That was a long time ago and we've had many harmonious meals together since. love, Crull
I remember the argument over the tomato sauce!! I really look forward to reading your postings--it is such a good way to know you in ways we don't get to share very much--please keep doing it. Love you. Katie
Sorry, I can never remember the correct passwords so I am not really anonymous! Katie
I do read your blog - sometimes I'm not current, but I enjoy and even "learn" some things that passed me by.
