Thursday Challenge—"everyday things"

I love my wooden spoons, which are
both utilitarian and beautiful;
the broken one is my favorite, because
it belonged to my grandmother.
This was her Hoosier cabinet, btw, and it
still has its original zinc countertop.

ABC Wednesday—L is for "Lucy"

I'm thinking of my darling grandmother today,
on what would have been her 130th birthday (this
photo was taken circa 1900). Miss Lucy did
make it to 94 and even at that age could rattle off 
the stats of every player on her favorite
baseball team.  She was a steel magnolia, a Southern
cook of the first order—and my, the woman could work a hat!
