I read yesterday’s New York Times paper edition in the morning after breakfast. When I was really sick, I waited for visitors to bring in the daily paper. The old paper’s breaking news stories are not a surprise. I enjoy the smaller human interest stories.
My daughter asks what I want to do for Mother’s day. She has lots of suggestions. We finally walk downtown in the late morning. The sidewalks are full of families waiting in line for brunch tables. Other families pushing baby carriages, dogs on leases and talking to each other. The Mother’s day crowd. I am so happy to see them all. I am exhausted when I get home.
I am enjoying the French series REFORMED about a young woman rabbi. The English dubbing is well done. No violence, no murders, no detectives.
I start reading two books in the evening, but nope, not for me. I have more books in the stack to search through. The friendly baker brings me home cooked bread and conversation. The dog lover brings me walnut cookies and more conversation. A very lucky day for me.
