Alison, what a story you wove - and you had all the little details just right, from food, to cars, to clothing to conversations and cigarette brands. When you mentioned Tab, I smiled. My sister used to drink that stuff like it was going out of style. Back when every brand sold 8 pack cartons of returnable bottles....and you needed an opener, haha. Enjoyed this story very, very much. - Jim

I can see my mom with her endless cans of Tab!

As an aside, when changed the cabinets in our ‘70s kitchen (which included a very avocado green) behind the cabinets was strawberry and blossom wallpaper.

Cool story! I love the details - the lemon apron, the marigolds and maples, the cold meat gelatin 🤢! So fun!!
