How To Write A Commnity Service Letter

The box of cookies and yellow glasses



From here I pay a warm tribute to two objects that were in our grandparents' house, and that are being lost irretrievably. Live, at least in this corner of the Internet, which, oh paradoxical, rescue them from the jaws of Saturn, the insatiable greed of scientific and technological evolution in which we live. Are two objects with grandmother and camphor smell (do not know exactly what the camphor, but I think it hits here.)

This box of cookies and glasses yellow (or green).

The biscuit tin containing very different types of cookies and crumbs that go back to sunny afternoon at the Pio Baroja made their first communion. I never understand why the English grandparents, with a unanimous plebiscite, they took the cookies from their standard boxes and got into metal "box of cookies", with that strange property of softening as the cookie down, down to the bottom of the container.

glass vessels yellow (or green), have an ineffable character. They bring to mind the endless movies Christmas Day afternoon, the traps to find the gift of twisted roll of kings, rainy Sunday afternoon snack, unrestrained belching after coca-cola to the delight of the cousins. They are part of our history.

Besides the crab and corduroy pants, the box of cookies and glasses yellow (or green), deserve a place in any agenda for citizenship education.
