A lot of years ago, I was fortunate to be invited to visit Mary Frances with a friend. We had a marvelous afternoon that will remain as one of my best memories forever!.
She was warm and chatty and showed us her home. There were books everywhere and a wonderful cat that followed us around,
Lunch was simple - bread and cheese, a little potato dish and a crisp salad. Someone else had done some of the cooking as it was all set out and ready when we arrived. Good wine and neat conversation. Only problem, she asked us so many questions that she spoke little about herself. I had taken a week's classes with Jim Beard, Marion Cunningham and Barbara Kafka in San Francisco and she said "give me the scoop" on how it went. I did and she made some great comments on the food we'd done. I treasure the memory.
The bathroom was unforgettable and her bedroom/study seemed huge. There were books and papers everywhere.
