The Women

One Sunday not long ago, as we were getting ready for church, Tirzah came walking up with a large stainless steel bowl of potato salad "for your lunch, but it needs fixing". we went into the kitchen and i busied myself shaking spices and splashing lemon juice and licking fingers, and suddenly i heard grandma schlabach right there in the kitchen with us, saying, "What it needs is a bit of this. Stir that in and see." So we stirred and tasted and "fixed" it, all three of us in a way; and it was nice to feel the footsteps of The Women in my kitchen.
