"Ouch!" Josephine had cut herself, making a sandwich, once again. Sticking her cut finger under running water she called out to her husband, "Earle, can you please get me one of those wonderful bandages you make. "This is the last one and we don't even have anymore gauze or cotton, so you better not get hurt again until I can get my hands on some more," I said handing her a piece of cotton on some adhesive tape and gauze. "I'll try to get some from work today, if James isn't breathing down my…

Joe pulls a dish towel out of the drawer and handed it to me with a hint of a smirk, after I had opened and shut every other drawer in his family’s kitchen in search of just such a dry towel. I spread it out as a drip-catcher for a few measuring cups and stirring spoons, then took a sponge to some more dish.

small table. Consisting of a couch, desk, lamps, and potted plants in the background, the room is uncluttered and well furnished, connoting a feeling of comfort.

Red lilies, purple lavender, and white daffodils surround the outer edge of the yard, evoking a casual and placid atmosphere. A hammock, hanging in the corner, is…

sign of acknowledgement. She had seen us using sign language prior to walking over to the table. A wave is a recognizable gesture of “hello.” A pen and a piece of paper to introduce herself would have been appropriate, and an appreciated effort of trying to establish communication. “Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see,” said Mark Twain.
