~ Henry Van Dyke
On a recent
evening, I went to drop off a book at a friend's house a couple of blocks away
from my home. I was not sure whether she
would be there, so I was planning on leaving it at her doorstep and then
returning home. When I arrived, her car
was not there, so I left the book. As I
was walking back to my car, she and her family arrived. After saying hello to the rest of her family,
I asked her if she could run out for a cup of coffee -- not that either of us
drinks coffee. So off we went on a
random school night for an impromptu visit.
After we returned, we talked for a while outside her house. We even shopped (thank you, amazon!). I had not seen her for a while,
so I greatly appreciated the gift of her time.
