I am losing track Amie. Your mother was a writer. You are sharing her recipes. Your grandma wrote too. Not your mother’s mother but your father’s mother. Next you will be sharing your father and grandfather’s writing. No wonder you are such a great writer ✍️

It’s a lot, isn’t it? You did quite well at following my family tree...big shoes to fill. I wish I’d gotten the artist’s gene!

"...before he left and came back, then left again". So many feelings.

So much truth in that last quote. The illustration almost looks like a woodcut. Is it pen and ink?

You’re right, it’s pen & ink. My grandfather had a unique illustration style that is still taught at RISD, I believe.

Loved it! It seems writing runs in your family. So cool! I’m the first in my family to write, but hopefully far from the last.

I like that you’re taking the long view, Andrei! Put one word in front another and repeat.
