Like I really really had to go out in the rain and fill a laundry basket with rhubarb and then cut it up and cook it in a big cauldron for four or five hours. And then, because, well, just because, I went ahead and canned it. This rhubarb has been weighing heavily on my mind for some days so it was a capacious relief to get it safely into jars.<\/p>\n

And then there was the left over ground beef. So that meant meat pies, and then small apple turnovers (not fried, baked, I\u2019m not completely mad).<\/p>\n

By that time it was eight pm and I felt settled enough in mind and spirit to begin shouting at the children to find shoes and start carrying everything out to the car. Then I had to turn the car around so that it wasn\u2019t sloping so precariously that every item that went in promptly fell out again. Then the business of shoving things around. Everything has<\/i> to be put where it\u2019s going to go or no coping will be available at the moment of having to drive away.<\/p>\n

All the time I kept muttering, \u201cHe gives more grace.\u201d It was a line from the sermon, and also the bible. More grace? More is<\/i>\u00a0usually always better.<\/p>\n

It assumes you had some to begin with\u2013Grace I mean. Certainly everyone finding one whole pair of shoes counts as an extraordinary measure of grace, and the house being picked up and all the laundry done. \u00a0And then we\u2019ll have even more as we trundle down the road.<\/p>\n
