DO YOU GARDEN? I am researching a book called "My Very First Garden" (about edible gardening... fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.) and need your true stories! Do you have a good (or even bad!) memory about the first garden you ever did? Was it inside in pots, outside when you were a kid, or in a community garden? Did you harvest anything or did the rabbits get it all? Please submit your short but true story to vikkibooks at yahoo dot com by April 27 2010. Your submission implies your consent to use your story and the possibility of (minor) editing. Thanks!

9/27: Paul Newman

I was born in the early 1960's, the middle kid of three girls. There were three men my mother would swoon over: Prince Charles, Robert Redford and Paul Newman. I couldn't understand her thinking about Charlie but Robert and Paul - my my my.

When I find myself out and about with a few raindrops sprinkling around me, I often, much to my son's embarrassment, burst into my own rendition of "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" - a movie starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman. I loved the scene where they jumped off the cliff.

This family often buys "Newman's Own" salad dressings and cookies.

Paul Newman died yesterday at age 83, after a long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his wife, family and friends in Connecticut, dying with the quiet dignity that was Paul himself.

He will be greatly missed. Vikki
