The house I grew up in as illustrated by my mother for the menu for her Gourmet Club, September 1984.

Built in 1932 in the Colonial Revival style, the Salem Post Office is about as far as you can get from a FedEx Kinko’s. All this grandeur and craftsmanship for folks who are paying three cents. It reminds me of… The library. All this marble and brass and polished woodwork for everyone, not just the wealthy. (American flag unfurls behind my head, horns blaring, Kate Smith starts singing.)
You get my point. Send some New Year’s and Christmas cards this year, ok?
Miranda made me this!

I found these colorful block prints made by my mother or one of her talented sisters and framed them cheaply for the kitchen. What do you think?
Hope brings a turtle in a tiny box.
She’d spent hours folding turtle after turtle
from sheets of wrapping paper.
The one she is carrying was the smallest one she could make.
This turtle is like my love, she thinks. Not small,
I know my love will grow or shrink to fit any space.
The space she is giving this turtle is the size of the
part of her thumb above the knuckle.
No kiss is sweeter than a surprise package in the mail. Jenny is an artist.
