Linda just brought us a piece of her homemade rhubarb pie. Linda is a special lady coping daily with more than most of us and still takes time to do something "nice."
Nice is a word that I don't often use unless in the noun form, "nicety." "There is still time for the niceties in life." The small things that make a difference. The important things. The things that matter.
A simple "Thank you" note takes a few minutes. A brief moment in front of the post office to exchange greetings. A few extra minutes to listen. A reassuring touch or a handshake. An unexpected "Thinking of you" card. A spontaneous invitation to a friend to ride-along. Or a piece of homemade rhubarb pie. Thank you, Linda.

"Woody"
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of "Woody," Gary Whitty. "Woody," always a quiet gentle presence in the neat little bookshop since the earliest days of our opening, won a place in our hearts. His family came first. He carried a wish list of books in his pocket.
Woody, we will miss you. If Heaven's library has The Crow and the Castle, dear friend, please save us a copy.
