Heh, you’re welcome! It also brought back another memory for me-

I remember when I was six or seven, and my Aunt Julie took us all down to the Five & Dime to have breakfast, and she asked me if I wanted to have tea!

Now, that was a big deal (which is why we loved our Aunt Julie) and when the waitress came over (I have this memory she was in her forties, wearing a powder blue uniform with lacy white trim) and asked with gravity if I wanted sugar, milk, cream, or lemon in my tea, I said “cream and lemon”!

She nodded knowingly with a smile and brought my tea to me with the lemon in the tea and cream on the side...

When I added the sugar and then the cream to the tea with the lemon in it, I got the expected result where it curdled and I looked at it in puzzlement while my Aunt Julie looked on indulgently with a tight smile!

I’ve been following your posts on this thread.
I think a lot of people can relate to you, with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
It brought back a lot of memories for me....
Thanks for sharing.
