Things were a little crazy (and a little lazy) the past week. My mom and sister came to visit from Texas! It’s fun to catch up, though in the electronic age there isn’t really much to catch up on I suppose.

When I was a kid, we seldom went out for dinner. If we did, it was someone’s birthday, and it was memorable. We did not eat much fast food either. Sure, we lived about 30 minutes from what some would call civilization, so it made sense. My mom was a stay at home, and she cooked for us. It’s funny how I can remember eating chili with buttered crackers, and we would all watch Wheel of Fortune together in the evening. Fond childhood memories that don’t involve paper sacks, I guess.
