Dinner With Class

Mashed potatoes, Mom’s heavenly creation. Such a gourmet creation, was an alpine white. Green beans, like a Christmas decoration. Candles were benevolently, not bright. I can still inbreahe steaks, sizzling in a pan. Hot Croissants were nestled on the table Tinkling glassware in my young girl’s hands. Angelic youth, ever, tender, soft and stable Prayers were recited. Then, our dinner began. 3/27/2023 Dedicated in memory of the the loss of the three children and adults murdered in Nashville this morning in a Christian school.

Moms are the greatest chefs in the world, Pangie, and it sounds like your Mom was the greatest. Enjoyed your write but not the sad news out of Nashville. God help this Godless nation!

Hello, Darlene! Golly, I wish that we had grown up together. Who would have really loved my parents. Croissants))) Oo-la-la! And her apple pie was out of this world. She considered, my friends, her children. So you would always get the best. She was a thing but selfish, my Dad, like that, too. Generous souls. I feel Like an orphan without them, even thoughI am an old bat! Love, Pangie. We can have croissants and conversation in heaven one day.)) Hugs, Pangie xo Pan

Hi Linda.. I was lucky to grow up in Chicago when it was safe and delightful. Great parents, family, schools. And kids today, deserve the same. But since adults are not? This nonsensensical activity goes on. Mental illness skyrocketing, while we think we know solutions? Pangie xo
