Dear Leo and family,
Cousins Carla and Leo...the memories go back to Eddy St when her babies were truly babies! Carla was a rock in my growing up, sometimes the *big sister* I didn*t have, sometimes the *mom* I needed, but always the wise and sometimes silly Friend. All within a quick bike ride away.
Oh the memories- she was game for any critter brought home, I*m thinking that monkey?! I was scared to death of it, yet so intrigued. Leo*s rabbits? Carla taught me to make the ~proper~ PBJ sandwhich,and did we make them, lol!- stuff spread right to the edge of the crusts..right?? She introduced me to canned Boston Brown Bread and cream cheese, yumm, and coffee in a disposable dixie cup. And the pickle factory! She and Aunt Ila stunk up our houses for a time.
And then we grow up, sometimes move away, always get older. What a shame, but that*s what happens. Memories fun to dig up, but not often enough.
Carla and Leo, among my favorite memories.
You all are so blessed! We are all so blessed. Thoughts are with you all.
Love,
Sam
