Since last week the grocery store next door has been closed. For more than forty years I have been dependent upon it for those last minute ingredients – milk, bananas, ice cream… He’s also a bit of a post office, and receives packages from abroad that save us the trouble of going to the post office. Today, I discovered that they are in quarantine. So sad. They have been so very careful. I hope all is well. They are not only wonderful people – they’re our neighborhood meeting place.
