Thanks to Bill Martin, who delivered my Meals on Wheels this morning, consisting of Chicken Cordon Bleu and a package of Sweetheart Candies and to Mary Lou of The Lyons Golden Gang, who sent along a “Marshmallow Melt” to brighten our day! Valentine’s Day is always sad for me as it is for other widows or widowers. Mr. LaVerne always brought a box of candy and put it on my typewriter. I still miss that, but son, Jerry,Login to read more: About Town with Lavern Johnson February 16, 2011
