Christmas Kodachromes
AS MY Christmas Day memories span miles and years it seems as if a series of Kodachrome pictures glow brightly on the screen of my mind. They start, of course, with my childhood in the depression years, with Mum and me just the two of us. I see myself seated on my kitchen chair by the potbellied corner stove, eating away at tasty new potatoes boiled with mint, shiny green peas, asparagus, and stuffed tomatoes, all from my mother's garden. . .
