Season of Thanksgiving #6, Papa & Nana Most of my childhood, I feared my grandfather. The way a child fears a father figure or a Christian fears God. In a loving, awestruck way. He was a man’s man.

Who’s going first?
#1 on the list of Thanksgiving… Matt & Erin Browne – Find them here It’s easy to take things for granted. Especially people. Especially people you can count on. Well, we don’t do that.

Lemon Meringue Pie
See, now….I’m sure in every family cookbook, there’s a recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie. It’s been passed down through the generations and invokes memories with just one bite. (sort of like that scene in Ratatouille) I LOVE that movie, and not just because the chef’s name is Remy. I’m off on a tangent. Back to…
