Dear Reader:

Chocolate! What would the world be like without it? Tommy’s and Kaitlyn’s engagement cake was totally “engaging” in its deliciousness….pure heaven!

Besides being essential to life….food symbolizes everything that is good about life….fellowship, friendship, family reunions, holidays, vacations, comfort, security, healing, and love. It is the first thing the Ya’s talk about before heading off to any of our get-aways….who is bringing what food? And of course we always end up with enough to feed a small nation….maybe Vatican City?

Here are three more Erma Bombeck quotes….the first one goes along with the importance of food in our lives.

*’Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the ‘Titanic‘ who waved off the dessert cart.’

*”My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.”

*“Friends are “annuals” that need seasonal nurturing to bear blossoms. Family is a “perennial” that comes up year after year, enduring the droughts of absence and neglect. There’s a place in the garden for both of them.”

So until tomorrow…Let’s thank God for friends and family….can anyone imagine going through life without either?

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”
