Max, I love this post! Thank you for doing these interviews. My mom (Buttons) wants you to know that she loves Chicky! She also commented that he is "very small!" Do you ever lose Chicky? Or not know exactly where he is? Or are you able to keep him with you all the time? -Belle
My oldest, best thing is a stock pot I inherited from my great-grandmother — that's Beatrice's great-great grandmother. My father remembers that his grandmother used to make wonderful chicken and dumplings in it. These days, I usually use it to make lentil soup. It's the perfect size, and I love to think about how many wonderful, home-cooked meals it's made.
I've had the good fortune of inheriting many kitchen implements from both sides of my family. It makes me happy to use my nana's knives, cake tins and pie pans, or my great-aunt Helen's napkin holder — even her metal flour and sugar canisters that date back to the 1940s/1950s. The way I take care of my good, old things is to keep them clean and dry, but it's just as important not to get swayed by thinking that you have to replace old things just because they're old. Fancy, shiny new things might be pretty, but an old stock pot has love in it.
This was fun to read! I remember Michael from school and am really happy to hear that he and Elizabeth and Max are happy and having so much fun. Chicky's adventure's made me laugh.

Max says, "Yes, he does get lost. When that happens, I say that he's on an adventure. Sometimes we find him and sometimes he finds us."

Max, I love your post. Your interviews make me almost feel as if I know you and your family.
Max says, "Thank you!"
