August 12, 2014. Caledonia, N.S. Care Package.

You can’t beat a Care Package. I have always loved them. This evening after dinner, my friend Mary called to say they were on the way to bring ice cream for dessert, which we thought was very nice. They had stopped at the grocery store and thought we could all enjoy dessert together, which we did. They took longer to arrive then I expected. It turned out that they missed the corner and ended up in Caledonia. When Walt and Mary walked in the door, they brought a Care Package for Ken, consisting of 6 short sleeved shirts and two jackets, all clothes that Walt does not wear. On Sunday at lunch, Ken mentioned that he was being careful not to spill on his shirt because he only had one short sleeved shirt at the cottage. When Ken got chilly and Walt brought both of them their jackets from the car, Walt commented that Ken was wearing a heavy jacket. Ken laughed and told him that it was his only jacket at the cottage. We all laughed at poor Ken. Mary remembered the conversation. Now Ken has enough short sleeved shirts to last the week and two jackets, both lighter than the one he owns. The ice cream was really only the excuse to bring Ken a Care Package of clothes. He is grateful.
