Lynn's Comments: Changing a character’s hair was always a big deal.

Elly and John, however, stayed pretty much the same.

Lynn's Comments: If you don’t live in Ontario, Canada—or any other place where a block heater is a necessary winter appliance, you won’t know the nuisance and embarrassment of forgetting to unplug the thing when you drive away.

Lynn's Comments: I did this to my brother. It was one of those spur-of-the-moment things that seemed like a good idea at the time. His girlfriend, on the other end of the line, was convinced that he had another girl with him. I did such a good job of cooing into the phone, he had a hard time convincing her that it was his sister playing a prank. I paid dearly later on…but it was worth it!

Lynn's Comments: When my in-laws moved, we had to empty their freezer. It was huge and we went through the contents the way archaeologists would tackle a dig. There were pies on the bottom that must have been 15 years old. Not wanting to waste anything, Ruth dutifully cooked up everything she could—except the dried, wizened, freezer burned hot dogs. Not even the kids would touch those!
