My grandmother used to tell how my dad, as a little fellow, would often ask for ‘umpin ‘weet (something sweet). David’s family usually had dessert every night after dinner but that wasn’t the norm in my family. On the other hand, we always had “something sweet” available whenever we might be in the mood. I’ve…
The Gift of a Letter ~ Bringing Back Letter Writing
