| Dinner for Two Ground beef scanned in, �It�s red as our new apartment�s counter top.� One half pound was the lightest the scale could recognize. Tomato sauce with basil, one can. �Say, basil reminds me of our palm tree, the one in the picture over our bed.� Noodles, �we�ll have to use our pan, maybe next week we can buy ourselves a pot.� A peach and a can of green beans, �those are just as green as your silly Home Sweet Home doormat.� �One dollar, seven quarters, four dimes, three nickels, and eighteen cents.� Two whiffs of a rose, Someday soon they�ll be able to buy.

It's such a special, marvelous time. |
