My people 45 x 365

The challenge: a year profiling people I have known, using a word count equal to my age. I'm taking weekends off!

My mom's mother (well, actually my mom's mother's pantry)

I loved those long-ago summers when we visited my grandmother’s place. Closeted in her walk-in pantry, almost the size of a small bedroom and smelling of wood and cookies, I explored shelves full of preserves and other goods that appeared so exotic to suburban eyes.

What a wonderful memory and that pantry must have been such a place to explore! Wow!
Double (stuffed Oreo) Wow!

It was a great place, especially since the cookie jar was always full. Which reminds me, when I read over what I had written it sounds like I was the one who smelled of wood and cookies (I probably did exude a faint cookie-ish aroma though, since I did consume so many of them).
