OK, so there is a lot of wisdom we can glean from our elders, but I guess right now, in the dog days of summer, my favorite has to be this one. In recording my aunt's memories of her mother in her final days, Martha, pictured left, recounted this "regret" that my grandmother voiced. "If I had to do it over again, I would have eaten more ice cream and fewer potatoes."
So go ahead, life is uncertain...eat dessert first. Grandma recommends it!
