Story from Chuck Gordon:

My mom went to work when I was in the second grade.  I was a true latchkey kid.  The key was on a shoestring around my neck.  She fully trusted me to not only be home alone, but to also heat up dinner. 

It would be in a casserole dish and she would leave me a note telling me the time and temp to put it in the oven.  

It never bothered me that I was home alone; in fact, it gave me pride!

  1. This is a most markable website and every time I see a post I get very excited and smile with happiness. Thank you so much for putting me on the distribution list
    I so much enjoy the photography. Everyone looks so happy and wholesome and those were the days when there was a lot more certainty, grace, and warmth.
