{little helperes} 5.2.12


Saturday I dragged myself out of bed at the scandalous hour of 7 o'clock. I dragged myself to the shower. I dragged myself to work. The beginning of the day was crazy-breakfast rush, but later the afternoon was relatively quiet. Then, towards the middle of my shift, as I washed the front (glass) door I noticed a young family coming toward me. I opened the door for them and as one of the young boys passed through he very eagerly asked me, “Would you like some imaginary reindeer to help you with your job?”  
I would love some!”

5.14.11 A bite of Heaven on earth

The door to the bakery opens and a young man walks in.

“Can I help you sir?” says the woman working.

“Uh, yes.” He searches for what he’s looking for in the display case, “One cannoli.”

She expertly removes the treat from the rack and the paper crinkles.

“Three dollars, please”

The man stuffs his hands in his pocket and pulls out a few crumpled dollars.

“Thankyou” he says curtly.

Once he's in an overstuffed chair the man delves into the pastry, sinking his teeth into the lush cream.

He closes his eyes and savors the taste.
