Sunday afternoon Samuel L. and Elsie came over to retrieve a Lansberry coffee carafe and a soon to be Lansberry bag of tortilla chips. I was very touched by Samuel’s gentlemanly gesture when he asked Elsie what she wanted to carry. At first she couldn’t decide, but then she said, “Oh, I’ll just take this” [...]

Raquel is my friend. James and Theresa are also my friends. Sometimes being my friend, or any one’s for that matter, means caring about stuff that really shouldn’t be a big deal. But for some reason this thing is a big deal to your friend and so then it’s a big deal for you. Thursday [...]

Yesterday was very much a day of small things. Small pleasures in small errands that had to be run and small pleasantries with various people. Small irritations I couldn’t figure out and small miracles.
Yesterday afternoon I got a call from Raquel. Kathey had called them and asked if someone could come over. Her granddaughter’s glasses [...]
