I'm glad to hear that Miss B. has Meals on Wheels. The delivery people tend to keep an eye on things overall, and it's also nice to know that she's getting some basic nutrition to go with her numerous dessert opportunities.
I wish I'd heard of your Cockney Santa story. It's frustrating losing crucial information about childhood favorites. It's funny you should mention your librarian grandmother introducing you to things you still remember fondly, because I recently had a little re-readathon of the books my Sunday school teacher gave me over the years. It's kind of been a lifelong joke between my cousin Steve and me, because Mrs. Moltzen would always give him books that did little more than inspire a "WTF?" response, whereas she'd always give me these absolute GEMS that became all-time favorites. Ooh! This could be a Taking the Fifth list!
I understand the mom boycotting Mother's Day. My mom was tempted to do the same thing when my grandmother died. Can you save your lovely frivolous gardening implements for Flag Day?
