Hehehe, me too,..thinking about the rash! I thought for sure you'd get caught, Sharon!

"...though true heirlooms are those that come from seeds handed down from generation to generation since around 1940. "

I think I'd be more inclined to take that date much further back than 1940. The Abe Lincoln sandwich you show dates back to 1923 and has been "handed down" since. I have some tomato varieties dating further back than that and considered "heirlooms".

All in all, a great read, Sharon! I love your personalization of it all!
