How to feel better
Mary has been sick for the last five days, and I joined her adventure three days ago. Neither of us has been out of bed for more than a few minutes at a time.
Tonight a friend braved the blizzard that has closed schools and roads and raised holy havoc around here for the last couple days, and showed up at our door with homemade roasted chicken and wild rice nestled in a roasting pan atop warm bricks in an insulated cooler.
And shortbread butter cookies!
If I have ever had comfort food, tonight was the night. What a great healing touch at exactly the perfect time!
I’d like to say a big thanks to our friends Sharon and Graham Yule, but they would probably be embarrassed, so I won’t mention their names. Mary and I both say a huge, warm thank you for beautiful friends. We are feeling better already.
Thank you! Thank you!
