Have you read, "The Feeling?” Who was Aunt CeeCee? Have you recognized any qualities in Rachel's Aunt CeeCee, that is like someone in your family? Do you think Aunt CeeCee made a difference in Rachel's life? Let me intimately introduce you to Aunt CeeCee!  Aunt CeeCee was Rachel's Aunt, her Mom's sister.
Families were closer in the 70s and were more entwined in each other's lives. They spent time together without the advent of computers, cell phones, or extensive television. They actually spoke to each other. They were more important than friends. An afternoon visit might have entailed, everyone just sitting around the kitchen table, with a cup of coffee or tea, just talking, just sharing. One for all and all for one! It developed a closeness, camaraderie, and a connection to family. Everyone cared. Aunt CeeCee was ahead of her time, as she was a working mother during the years of World War II. Her husband was in the Navy, and she became the breadwinner. Because of that, she was exposed to the business world and had widespread ideas. Her niece, Rachel was not just her sister's daughter, but her daughter as well. There was no distinction. She earned the respect and trust of Rachel's confidence. She was a strong force; never left her family's side when the chips were down and could always be counted on. Best of all, she was supportive when not asked for her opinion, and when asked for her opinion, you could count on the correct answers full on. Her strength passed through Rachel's vulnerability and gave her confidence and the ability to come through adversity. Everyone needs an Aunt CeeCee and we hope you all have one. Do you?

 As listed in the Oxford Dictionary, Jealousy is:
"Feeling angry or unhappy because someone you like or love is showing interest in someone else." The Editor’s Example of Jealousy: Harry and his wife Ellie attended a neighborhood party together. As the evening passed, Ellie was suddenly missing. Harry asked the host if he had seen his wife, Ellie, and the host replied, "No. Should I ask the DJ to page her?” Harry said, "No, don't bother, I will simply approach that beautiful blonde woman, with the slinky black dress who is standing near the bar and start talking to her. The host said, "How will that help you find your wife?" Harry replied, "Because as soon as I talk to another woman, she always immediately shows up!"  John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, in England, was famously known as an esteemed statesman. In 1762, an amazing event took place… HE INVENTED THE SANDWICH! Here's the lowdown on this amazing feat: In his private life, John was a card shark and a compulsive gambler. During a card game involving high stakes, John did not want to leave the card table or put down his cards. It was a dilemma. He had a great hand but was famished and could not stop eyeing the Roast Beef being offered. What to do? VOILA!!!! It came to him just then. He requested a serving of roast beef and two pieces of bread. He then instructed the server to place the roast beef between the two pieces of bread all the while holding his cards. Everyone looked at him shaking their heads! Ingenious and simple...he could now hold the cards in one hand and the roast beef and bread in the other. An amazing invention! Forever and always, to be known as a SANDWICH.  And yes, John Montague, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, won a lot of money with the hand that he refused to put down. Why do we love our sandwiches? Well, they fit in with our busy lifestyles and work on the go. So many diverse fillings satisfy our hunger. The best comfort food is a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Children's all-time favorite is Peanut Butter and Jelly. The moral of the story is: If you are ever at the gaming table in Vegas, don't forget...... ORDER A SANDWICH!!  |
