I've spent the last hour talking with a childhood friend who now lives in New York. She had a medical emergency over the holidays, and I wanted to check in with her. It sounds like everything is okay now. It's always fun to talk to her, and the conversation usually involves a lot of laughter. She has many grandchildren and also a 96 year old mother, so she travels a lot to visit her three adult children and their families and is sharing responsibility for her mother with her older brother. She has a complex life, and an enriched and rewarding one, and I'm fortunate to have her share it with me.
Yesterday the refrigerator got installed, and even though it didn't fit right, we're done. No one but us will ever notice the slight gap on either side with the walls, and once an adjacent wall is painted and the floor scratch oiled lightly, we'll be ready to put down the rug, put the leaves back in the table, bring the chairs in and resume being able to sit in the kitchen to eat. Ah, the little luxories of life!
I have my granddaughter this afternoon, and in between plan on going to a bookstore for some magazines. I'm ready for some major trivia.
