A Hand to Hold
“Aunt Sadie sailed into the living room, a plastic bag of groceries hanging over one jiggly arm and holding a handful of mail, her thick, bright-red lips stretched into a smile.
Deborah glanced up from her knitting. She figured her aunt must spend more on a month’s supply of her trademark lipstick than she did on food.
Sadie set down the bag on the coffee table in front of the yellow-and-pink-flowered couch and thumbed through the mail. “Bill. Yuck. Another bill. Double yuck.” She sighed. “This ...is what I get for not going to the post office for a few days. And here’s one from the electric company. I wonder how much they’re gouging me for this month.”
“You could always turn the power off.” Deborah settled back in her aunt’s soft-cushioned recliner and went back to knitting. She had been working on her son’s small, dark blue mittens for a week now, but it was slow going and she couldn’t get the thumb right. Maybe she should just give up and buy Will a pair at the discount store where she worked a couple of days a week.MoreLess
