Bedroom 4 is smaller than the guest bath. I guess they're expecting visiting Munchkins?

Our weekly salmon would not be the same without their Florida Pepper ("the only good thing to come out of Florida"). Nor our oatmeal without Apple Pie Spice . . .

I would do a little more research before saying "no," but it looks more like a gourd than a squash to me.

Making my gingery roasted pears at mom's house (I'd brought the pears with me). Olive oil? Check. Grated ginger? Brought it. Lemon juice? Umm, no, mom's was over 10 years old! But she had Limoncello, used it instead. It was great, and now the local ABC store probably thinks I drink the stuff daily.

Family table seats 26 (and often did). No dairy, no fructose, no wheat, vegetarian among the family. No one ever got sick, but I spent a fortune on silver serving pieces to get enough! Silver drawer contains 3 asparagus tongs and 2 Victorian macaroni servers, among many other spoons, tongs, etc.

They may have had a "hidden" hat band. Rather than a tie under the chin, it's a band that goes around the back of the head, hidden under the hat. Given the amount of hair they'd have, the band would have plenty to hold onto. I had hats that came like that 40 years ago. (They'd have pins as well.)

She loves cozy! She tucks herself under area rugs so the phrase "watch out for the rug-lump!" rings frequently through the house. She also sleeps under the covers some nights.

One of my favorite Strasburg stories (Mark, you might remember this one as I was in the press box. Someone said "dang, they'll let anyone up here," and someone else said "you've upgraded the place.")

Sounds excellent. I made turkey enchilada soup this week (used up the last peppers from the garden and some of the last tomatoes).
At least once a year I make turkey pumpkin chili (not my spouse's favorite or it would be more than once!😀)
