A group of a dozen or so Filipino women came out to the house for a late afternoon dinner. This is the third time Desiree and I have gathered with this group of Filipinos. The food is always great and there is no such thing as an awkward silence or dull moment with these girls.
Several women brought gifts for
Desiree. I found one the gifts, three grocery
bags filled with outdoor plants, in the shade under our linden tree. I snapped a photograph of the bags with my
smarter-than-me-phone. I showed Desiree
the photo on my phone. “Look, Des,” I
teased, “someone delivered groceries for the deer, too.”
