I am not sure how many mothers of boys eating such dreadful sandwiches were able to find comfort in that column, but there were plenty of other columns that seemed to help.
"We all live the same life," I would tell my fellow mothers. "I just get to write about it."
I am not sure I would take any gardening advice from me, although my friends Betsy and Nan seem to think I know something. But I will try to introduce you to people who are better gardeners than me, and I will try to tell you why I like to garden.
Oh. And one more thing.
I have always believed that women care about more than the price of bread, milk and eggs.
We will prove it again this year, I think, when we outvote the men, again, and maybe tip a presidential election.
I will be writing about that kind of thing, too, on Mondays in the news section of this newspaper.
I am doing a lot more gardening, now that the kids are grown.
But I am thinking a lot more, too.
