Bridge to Reminisce: 08/12/14

Even our resilient and positive mother, Janet Preisel, pictured above, felt a bit down from the health challenges of dealing with cancer. Our father and she had previously retired to North Carolina, and they lived right down the road from her middle child, Colleen. Her bratty youngest, AKA Karin, searched for a way to offer support from New York to Mom between our visits, and "101 Days of Sunshine" was born. Seeing how uplifting it was, I began to write "Bridge to Reminisce" to support Mom from Pennsylvania. The two blogs are related, just like Karin and I are, so I have them linked. An avid reader all her life, Mom enjoyed our amusing stories and would eagerly await new posts. Before she passed, our most supportive fan asked that Karin and I both continue to write after she was gone.

Knock! Knock!

Knock! knock!

Who's there?

Shrimp with Anna.

Shrimp with Anna, who?

Shrimp with anaphylaxsis, no joke!

I inherited the family seafood allergy. I used to love getting the shrimp basket at the Sky Jet Restaurant in Tionesta when I was a child. Unfortunately, I consumed my lifetime amount by middle school. Fortunately, clams and mussels are fine for me, just no crustaceans.

Once a year, my dad's entire, enormous, extended family got together to enjoy a giant clam bake hosted by my great aunt and uncle.
