1. Have a ‘mater sandwich for lunch on Grand Forno fresh baked, black olive bread, using the first ripe tomato you picked from the garden.  And have the tomato taste as good as I remember tomatoes tasting when we grew them in Memphis.

Maria in Apopka the Morning I Dropped Her Off At Sleep Away Camp in 2011

2. Fill out the application for the Girl to get to go to sleep-away camp this summer on the hope that she will have a good enough spring to be able to actually get up to Camp Thunderbird in Apopka, Fl.

3. Dance all through the house to “Who Let the Dogs Out” with Boo, Daisy and Maria on a Saturday when Ms Maria is in good enough shape to be able to have  2-night sleepover at home. Then pack up a picnic dinner to eat on the beach.
