Another poignant slice of life evoked in a few brief lines, plus the perfect time-stamped casserole to go with it. Lovely, Amie!

I went through this "security" thing the last time you posted. It said I'd only have to do it once and now here I am having to do it again.

I well-remember when the A & P opened in Newton Center. It was a revelation! We no longer had to go to individual purveyors. "Modern America".... Ha! Ha!
