Legs

I still consider chicken, mashed potatos & gravy & green beans as one of the ultimate comfort meals. We each had a designated pieces- being the youngest, I got a leg. I also sat in the seat trapped into the farthest corner & had to crawl under the table to get to it. We often had "extras" at the table, since Lincoln Highway was the road our many relatives traveled to St. Louis for shopping. This meant that our rooms must be clean, including the drawers and closets because Aunt May might look. A tall order for four girls sharing one room and one large closet. Susan and Sherry in bunk beds and Chris & I sharing a bed. (This was after my crib was evicted from David's room.) I also remember Elmer & Vi's pizza on Friday nights watching some scary movie that my older siblings and their friends were watching. Was it "Creature Feature?" Benj, you will find that you are teaching your children constantly without realizing it. (OK, that's really meant to reassure you.) Tyler will be a great kid because he's yours.
Gotta go call my Laurie about a movie!

Love, Les
