Tuppence a Bag (Gabrielle)
May 24, 2007 by Gabrielle
Raquel and I take a walk most every weekday. We have established our usual route mostly by accident. It’s just the places to walk that work the best. Sometimes we go crazy and walk a different way, but we try to keep those times special.
Our usual route takes us past the corner of Bestor and Armstrong. Down a bit from the street corner is a tree. It is not a very special looking tree, but it is noteworthy because under this tree is usually the oddest bits of food. I’ve seen bread, a half-eaten sandwich, melon without the rind, puffy Cheetos, fries, Pop Tarts, and macaroni and cheese. Whenever we walk past I check to see what odd food I might find there that day. It always manages to surprise me. At first I though someone just happened to drop food there once or twice. Now I think maybe someone is trying to feed the birds. I wonder if the birds like macaroni and cheese.
Bestor and Armstrong? You mean, those streets have names? I thought it was just, you know, ‘where we walked’. I feel like such a ditz…
