That's ...Ah how could I forget the butter lamb! That's another good one. It occurred to me that many of our memories involve food of some sort. I guess that lives up to the Italian stereotype, but when you think about it, so many times that's where everyone commences and shares... hence the saying "bringing everyone to the table", I suppose.Maya Northen Augellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469306092296810650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603883426306376921.post-386830973556028952014-12-18T07:15:22.123-05:002014-12-18T07:15:22.123-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maya Northen Augellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469306092296810650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603883426306376921.post-16304018714550010992014-12-17T15:12:34.111-05:002014-12-17T15:12:34.111-05:00This is a wonderful tribute, Maya and one that wou...This is a wonderful tribute, Maya and one that would really have meant a lot your Grandma Ventura. The most important things to her were her family and friends. She'd love to know that she is still alive in our memories. I think you have captured many of the things that most of us remember. She really loved singing (like you and me) and I remember how she'd go "ooooo" whenever she thought anyone was doing anything dangerous. I also remember he always putting out the butter lamb for Easter (and what Uncle Mike did with it). Thanks for writing this.EMMLPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731327600470046504noreply@blogger.com
