My penultimate bit of May memorializing
May. 25th, 2012 09:00 amToday is the fifth anniversary of my mother's death. This one was the easiest to accept -- she was 84. My sister's birthday is next up, on the 29th, and then perhaps I can quit finding cause for reflection in the calendar for awhile.
In other, more cheerful news: yesterday I took the bus over to the bike store and picked up my bike. It's all cleaned and pressed for a season of hard riding, with new sturdy tires, new brake pads, a general tune-up and a repair of the electrical system so the headlamp will work. It felt quite responsive when I biked home.
Roy is going to buy fish on his rounds today and I will make a sort of fish stew with canned tomatoes plus potatoes, carrots, and onions. The fish will go in at the last minute and will not be bluefish for a change -- possibly cod or some such white fleshed fish.
