As a young girl, 10ish or so, I was left at Mary and Herman Linne’s for a couple of weeks. From the midst of a troubled childhood, I never forgot the attention and peace I took in while in their home. Herman would simply sit out in the yard under the trees with me and feed the squirles. I discovered the joy of strawberry milk which Mary would serve me. And at bedtime as a regular routine, Herman would fix himself a huge bowl of icecream and for me a more normal size! Kindness is always a pleasure and sometimes, an unexpected difference is made in one’s life.
