I, on the other hand, have learned I’m a sucker for anyone or anything that makes me laugh.

My experiences with popcorn began as soon as I was old enough to eat it. One or more nights per week, Mom would pull out the popcorn pan, pour oil in the bottom and fill it with a layer of the bright yellow stuff we loved.

My favorite doll was the last one I received, for Christmas, at age 12.

Mother took more formal shots in the next two years. This time, she really got serious about my attire.

Meanwhile our dads, my own included, could hit the candy aisle at the drugstore for a Whitman’s Sampler. Price: $2.00 for a one-pound box, a wise investment considering the “sweet” return.

As our family grew, we moved to a bigger house which presented special snowy weather challenges.

Suddenly, a history-making snowfall began as we all rushed outside to get pictures of the snow “before it melts.” We needn’t have worried. Four or more inches later, there were enough photo opportunities for a dozen People Magazines.
