REPORTERS NOTEBOOK (Gettysburg Times: 12/27/08) - "We like Aunt Sharon"

During our annual Christmas meal at the Mentzer household, I commented about Grandma’s delicious feast.
“This is great,” I exclaimed.
Uncle Jeff concurred.
“One of the best meals we’ve ever had,” he said.
That got me thinking.
“What’s your normal dinner?” I asked. “Pizza and Doritos?”
Uncle Jeff replied: “I don’t eat that stuff. My wife cooks me meat and potatoes every night.”
Oh really.
“Where’d you find a woman like that?” I asked.
The answer may surprise you.
“He had to go to Bermudian,” said Pappy Mentzer.
Aunt Sharon pounded the table and shot her eyes at me.
“PUT THAT IN YOUR PAPER!” she roared.
OK.
(We like her.)
