I’m a 53-year-old mother of 2 (grown) and grandmother of 4. My son and his family live in Montana. I’m sorry to read of all the family losses you’ve experienced; it sounds like life has been tough in a lot of ways for you over the years. Tell us a bit about yourself. Wow, time flies.

Generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of Magical and Rare Artifacts, handing down guardianship from mother to daughter, always keeping their secrets to “family only.”. First Frost (FREE as of posting time). She knows the items in the glass display cases are fakes because, of course, magic doesn’t really exist.

I’m pretty sure I always sang it as Grandmother’s house, which is weird since we actually went to my Grandfather’s house for holidays. If they ever stop making Pepperidge Farm stuffing or Jimmy Dean sausage we will be one VERY unhappy family as they are the 2 key ingredients to our stuffing.
