Both my grandfathers smoked cigars... Granddad picked it up aboard ship
when he was in the Navy... said it was in self-defense with all the
smokers around him... and the cigars were probably culprits in both his
3 heart attacks (the last of which took him) and his lung cancer
(discovered shortly, I think, before that last heart attack)... Grampa,
dunno when or why he picked it up, although he did use it sometimes to
annoy Grandma.... she made him go out onto the porch to smoke them...

Ah, mutual annoyance, a great way to
maintain a relationship!

Does anyone at the picnic have a birthday near
picnic time? I might be tempted to make a birthday
meatloaf even if you don't bake a cake.

I don't know of any birthdays near picnic time.... but it's an
intriguing concept... ;)

And could be accomplished with not that much
difficulty. One might even make a layer cake
with tomato sauce "raspberry" filling or an
extra layer of mashed taters between. If I did
it, it wouldn't be elaborate or artistic - just
your meatloaf in a loaf tin with potato frosting
and maybe some carrot decoration.

They indeed had what I call a bicker relationship... certainly not the
sort of relationship I'd want for myself.... but they stayed together
for many years of marriage, only ended by Grampa's death at (I think) 91
or so...
