There once was a city street in Harrisburg, PA



And on that street there are neighbors, particularly thick Greek accented ones named Mrs. Linges that will wave to you three times a day and scrounge up anything to give your children in exchange for a smile


And next to that neighbor, there is a little old farm house that opens its doors to all walks of life. It has detailed decorations for every season (some even expired), a kitchen foundation made of the Pilsbary Dough Boy figurines and 1 fluffy pink bathroom upstairs


And in that farm house lives a 5'3" little lady named Mary Jo, who giggles, is carefree, loves poached eggs and toast and has held each of my wee children when they were just days old.





And ever since then, my kids have put her in their hearts and always look forward to their time with Mary Jo, M. Juice, MJ, Crazy Lady, or the more recent, Grandma Jo. Thanks for wonderful memories and relief Mary Jo!
