When I was an elementary school child living a stone’s throw from my maternal grandparents, for a time my normal morning routine was to walk to Mom and Pop’s house, eat breakfast, and be walked to school by Pop.
The thing I remember most about breakfast was what Mom (that’s what I called my grandmother) did to the jelly on top of her buttered biscuit. She dusted it with sugar! Being so young, I never questioned why she did that even though the jelly tasted sweet enough for me.
Since then, I’ve wondered if Mom’s palate just craved a different texture. Recently I sprinkled a little sugar over the strawberry jelly on my toast to see if I have been missing a culinary treat! Somehow I just can’t appreciate that taste. So, I won’t need a second try. My jelly is sweet enough! And the texture is just fine!

Connie …. I didn’t know that Pop Marcum walked with you to school. Was our Mother working outside the home then? Love, Jerry

No, our mother was not working outside the home then. But as the elementary school was a fairly good distance away (by foot as we didn’t have a car) I needed someone to see that I got safely to school and in the door.
