It's hard believe in decency, kindness, and attention to beautiful details in the least likely places, but I think it's out there, as it always has been...sometimes a little oil-soaked, never newsworthy. Thanks to you and E Bishop for the reminder.
Such lovely sentiments. We often need reminding of filling stations [even the title dates itself] and high school classmates and the poignant entry of the fiddle in Williams's song.
My love, I am at the New Orleans airport and I just read your substack, and I am quietly leaking tears. If I take a deep breath, it could be a sob. Oh shoot, here it comes. This so captures the life I want to live - the one where we don’t just focus on the doilies and the bus drivers but that we are the ones setting the doilies under the oil cans and setting the table for the lost travelers. This one hit me right in the heart. I LOVE LOVE LOVED it xoxo

OMG Karen your writing touches the bottom of my heart. I LOVE this piece. ❤️
That makes me happy. 💜❤️

Yes! That song floors me. And I’m dating myself that I didn’t see filling station as dated until your comment! 💜
Also, it was one of my students at WHS...I wonder where he is now, but I bet he's somewhere good.

Let er rip!! Lol. Yes; let US be the setter-outers of treats and things. Amen. xoxo
We watch Call the Midwife to get us out of a glum mood. It’s always so amazing to see new life; it brings a smile.
Best show ever! Already watched them all twice through...It totally works like a charm. xo
