I love Liquid Sunshine!! Although my favorite store here is a little farther, in Kingfield...Scentsations, I think is the name? They have awesome pottery...and I love the soy candles. The best part, tho, is the owner who is very sweet and helpful.

Enjoy the snow today! LOL

Thanks for sharing this, Dory. It reminds me of a time when I first tried to cook out of Larousse Gastronomique...what a mess I made that day! Anyway, very enjoyable story, indeed. Keep it coming...

He had a very funny, dry sense of humor.

So, it's nice to be able to share this part of him and see that, even nearly 60 years after the fact, his humor still connects.

I told my gram today that I had posted Gramps' story here and she was delighted to know you all enjoyed it. She said she thought somewhere Grandpa was loving knowing it was still getting laughs, too.

I am sure he is watching and smiling!
