I had dinner with my delightful 87 year old friend Betty Manderino tonight. I love spending time with her and listening to her share things about her life (and her cooking). Tonight she shared this story: Immediately after they were married they moved to a base in California. It was 1945 and you couldn't buy anything metal because of the war. Betty told Gus one day that she wished she had a potato masher because she was tired of eating baked and boiled potatoes. Gus found some extra heavy wire on their clothesline and made her this potato masher. That's love.

That's SWEET!!
Wow! Beautiful story!!!
Visiting Teaching Betty was my FAVORITE thing in the whole world... I loved her stories of she and Gus and sometimes, when I clsoe my eyes and think real hard, I can smell her apartment! LOVE IT!
Priceless!
Love this story and love to hear that you are still visiting Betty.
