the angie re-runs #2 - good idea huh?

This is the second in the Angie re-runs series.  It originally ran on March 24, 2012.  It still makes me laugh every single time I think about it.  My mom did not believe in waste of any kind. 

 

Excerpt from conversation with Angie on the way to the grocery store yesterday:

Angie:  you know I don't like to eat all the crust on my pizza but I don't throw it away.  I cut it off and save it.

Me:  really?

Angie:  yes, and it'a a good thing.  I am out of bread so I took the crusts out of my freezer this morning and ate them with my egg instead of toast.

Me:  wow, I don't think I would have thought to do that.

Angie:  good idea huh?

Me:  yep. 

We bought an extra loaf of bread at the store in case she runs out of pizza crusts anytime soon.

That's hilarious! I would never have thought of doing that. Love these Angie re-runs. Smiling and laughing is the best way to celebrate the life that has passed.

You are a jewel....she must have relished your company!! Good thing, so we have these priceless stories and permission to retell the ones of our own Mother's. One that always gives me a giggle is when I was helping my Mom off the chair (she was paralyzed on one side and couldn't talk but laughed a lot!) Anyway we were getting dressed for bed and we (me) pulled up her pajama bottoms with a good strong pull from the back while she held on to me.... up good and tight and she started laughing....I had pulled the bottoms up so good I had also tucked in her boobs. Thank you for sharing ... it is good to remember the treasures!

Smiling hugely over this one. These stories are the best and happy you've decided to give them another go round.

I am so happy you are re-running posts because I did not find your blog until some time last year, and I just love hearing about your sweet Angie. We are still learning something new from our parents all the way up until the end of their lives. I will never throw away another piece of pizza crust. I am making a special spot for them in the freezer right now because there is nothing worse then making an egg and not having bread to go with it! Thank you, Angie.....This is such a beautiful way to get through grief isn't it?
