I want to not forget:

- "the dish"
- the night owls
- Rummy 500
- "Geoorge!"
- "Mm! So good!" and icebox cookies
- "Kate."
- on the refrigerator: "Tenderly you touch a nettle and it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle and it soft as silk remains."
- the gurgle bed
- fly fishing off the jetty
- brandy at night
- coffee with cream in bathrobes in the morning
- slippers
- the book shed
- Sam the Firefly
- the bunkhouse
- "a spurious token of my affection"
- the pipe
- the cane
- the baby diamondback Margaret almost picked up
- the newspaper
- the woodstove
- "Cele ..."
- "Skunks were made for shotguns."
- Wheaties with sugar, maybe eight flakes at a time
- the birthday party in Fishtail
- snake grass
- Bikini Rock
- watermelons in the cold water behind the jetty
- the hammock
- dinners at the picnic table on the low deck
- the stone path around the house
- the swinging bars between the low deck and the path to the wooden deck
- Katie
- Maggie
- Maggie in Eugene, bringing back a tree when we played fetch in the field
- Grandma in Eugene: "Laurie, that is the most godawful piece of furniture I have ever seen."
- Grandma in France, swinging her toes aside without breaking stride to avoid the dogshit on the sidewalk
