May 17 04: postcard from memphis
Tomorrow is Day Eleven of our visit to Memphis, and the day we put Ray in the ground. Kindly Sunday-school friends have dropped off an endless procession of chicken casseroles and spiral-cut hams, and also two Bundt cakes. We have gone out for Chick-Fil-A (which was tasty) and for Corky’s Barbeque (which was heaven). We have repaired broken trellises along the deck and mulched three garden plots. We have navigated twisty mazes of strip malls and subdivisions, all alike. Aunt Sue, bless her, has taught me to knit. I’ve finished Beta 2 of “Slow” (let me know if you’d like to give it a quick read-and-respond). We have watched cardinals and robins and all manner of local songbird stalk across the back lawn, looking for insects, and listened to them sing loudly to the sunrise and the sunset. We have walked the dog, sometimes twice in a day, to try to get something resembling excercise. There have been large doses of Jesus.
Please, please: can we go home now?
