But don't think for a minute I'm joining one of those groups who knit
socks for soldiers.
I'm habitually late to everything, and I have at least a dozen projects
I've started and not finished scattered around the house.
I hope that my album connected her to my life, to her second
great-grandchild. A big carton of Hungarian mushroom soup.
The house will be a mess.
