Manners

When one encounters young people these days, one does not always expect good manners.

Doesn't that last sentence make me sound like a crabby old poop?

Nevertheless, it's sad but true - the Youth of today aren't always taught to respect their elders, to send thank you notes, and to bring hostess gifts. Luckily for me, most of the young people I know do have good manners.

When she asked if she could bring something to our dinner, I had reassured young Naomi and her beau, Sam, that their company would be gift enough. Thank heavens young people today don't listen to their elders, either! Look what a lovely hostess gift they brought me - what could be tastier than a selection of Penzeys Spices packed in lovely bay leaves? Sam assures me that the Chicago Steak Seasoning and the Northwood Fire Seasoning will thrill our taste buds - we can hardly wait!

So nice when young people have been taught good manners - and good taste!
