"Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad." - Scout in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird

comfort food
OK, so I needed a little snack last night and it needed to be something I hadn't had for a while (because of the infamous "diet"). So, I searched and searched and I still couldn't find a hidden stash of cookies left over from the wedding lunch. So, I considered my options and went for a piece of bread. WHITE bread. Can you believe it, Mom? White bread at MY house. I ever so gently slid a piece of bread out of the bag. I didn't want to drop even a crumb. I looked in the cupboard for the ultimate comfort food-Nutela. But, I remembered that Rick hid it. From Me. Because I told him to. He did a good job. He probably took it over to Amara's for safe keeping. Smart Boy. So, I went for the next best thing. Homemade raspberry jam. Made by me. On white bread. So GOOD. I think I need another piece. Oh yea, the comfort I need is that summer is over and winter will be here tomorrow. And then i will drink hot chocolate with my raspberry jam and white bread.
