I would've just given her a hat. I can always knit another one. We can speak of comforting and helping those less fortunate, but actually doing something is an extra step we sometimes don't take ... for whatever reason.
Each new paragraph was a joy to read. I'm picturing the 'dog poop' situation and seeing someone come along with spare bags that they carry around for just his purpose: unclaimed feces.
I felt kinda relieved that you got to keep both of your special hats. Two hats isn't too many, when both are used and give you some joy. One of them could fly off in that wicked east wind, so it's good to have an extra.
Great post, Fran. Plenty of dry humor to lift me up from my drearies.
The last time I made pasta sauce (gravy to the Italians) I didn't have any wine. It was an 'oh well' moment. The gravy was the best I've ever made so no more red wine and sugar.
I have one hat. I bought it in 1970 in the town outside Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey, where I was stationed for a special training class.
The hat is one of those French style ones where the front is held flat with a snap button. I never wear it anymore but it goes everywhere with me in the purse section of my walker. Perhaps to remind me of my last name in case I suddenly get... What's the word when you lose all your memories? Starts with an 'A'.
Anyway, Fran, thank you for something so pleasant to read. I've dropped out of ranting my health away over you know who. I'm just annoyed there are Presidents Day Sales going on when we're without a president. 👿

Thank you for your weekly wisdoms.

I actually have more hats, but those were the two I was carrying that day.

Naturally, I feel that top billing should be shared with the Manishevitz as well.
Two hats, Shaoxing and Manischevitz.
