Three Beautiful Things 06/24/20: Shelves, *Tom-All-Alone's*, Lentil Soup and Eggplant Sandwich BONUS A Limerick by Stu

1. Ever since we bought this house, we've had a bookcase in the basement that could be useful, but didn't stand up securely on its own. Today, Paul came over and secured the shelves by attaching them to a wall in the basement. These shelves will serve as a pantry in our basement and now, instead of books, the shelves hold cans of beans, fish, tomatoes, a jar of peanut butter, and other kitchen staples.

2. I returned to reading Lyn Shepherd's book, Tom-All-Alone's, today. It's picking up momentum as the book's central character, a mid-1800s London detective, is starting to delve into the case Mr. Tulkinghorn hired him to solve -- it involves someone who has been writing brief and vaguely threatening letters.

3. Debbie made a red lentil and sweet potato soup today out of her head. It's delicious, but I didn't eat much of it because we had eggplant and Zoe-made hamburger buns left over from Tuesday, and I made eggplant sandwiches again. I added a little pop to my sandwich today with a couple of pepperoncinis, adding a little heat to the mellower presence of the feta cheese, sauteed thin red onion slice, and Debbie's terrific sandwich sauce.

How many people can say?
They crossed over these bridges each day?
Division and Hill,
They remember it still.
The River weren’t clear it were gray.
