LRRH

Mag loved all the classic fairy tales. With her first grade classes, year after year, she used The Gingerbread Man in her curriculum with a great deal of creativity. Her class explored and discussed many versions of the story and always had a spectacular Gingerbread Tea in the fall when all the parents came to participate.

Her own personal favorite fairy tale was Little Red Riding Hood. There was something provocative and risque about the relationship between the wolf and LRRH. Mag believed that both characters lived in each of us as archetypes. Her goal was to love both roles and to nurture each appropriately, and she did a fine job all her life.

Emily,
I don't know if we're headed toward Grandma's but the trip sure is filled with adventures. May we wander off the path together many more times in the years ahead.

Right now I'm just waiting for that wolf to show up. If he doesn't come soon I'll have to go looking for him.

Merry Christmas

Love,
Maggie
