Trouble's Brewing
“And strange seems to be the only way I know to describe it.
I was the first to arrive at Evangeline’s. As I entered her home I could smell coffee. It seemed almost symbolic. It brewed pretty much like the trouble in our lives, percolating to the point of overflowing. As soon as I entered, Evie took the casserole dish from my gloved hands, and I bent over to pull my snow boots from my feet.
“This smells good,” Evie commented.
“It’s a beef, broccoli, and rice dish I read about in a magazine.”
“As... long as it’s not turkey,” she said with a “humph” as she made her way into the kitchen.
I giggled as I placed my boots on the mat at the side of the door.
“I think we got a good four or five fresh inches of snow last night,” I called after her.
“Weatherman said five,” she called back. “He’s predicting more later this afternoon.”
When she returned, I was hanging my coat on the coat tree in the foyer. “How was your Thanksgiving?”
“It was … different.”
“How so?”MoreLess
