Good deal, McNeal


Things I'll miss about Mimi...
-the freezer stocked with Gold Medal Ribbon
-all the green on St. Paddy's Day
-getting scolded for wearing socks on the wood floors
-messy sundaes
-sitting on the porch with a book and a glass of iced tea
-goulash, coffee cake, and brie cheese
-the candy drawer
-her laugh
-the way she always hung the IU ornament on the back of the tree
-the flowery birthday cards
-her impeccable taste
-sneaking Squeeze-its at the lake
-the way she looked at me the last time I saw her and she said, "tell your Dad hi, all you girls..."
