“Christine saw my father at a clinic in La Crosse, a small city along Wisconsin’s western border with Minnesota, a place known to most, now, for having lent an archaic Old French version of its name to America’s most popular brand of flavored sparkling water, La Croix, a drink concocted there in the early ’80s and eventually sold to a publicly traded holding company based, for the tax purposes of its owner, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.”
Excerpt From

“Just remember this, Mr. Potter: that this rabble you’re talking about—they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?
—George Bailey, It’s a Wonderful Life”

Alexis’s October 19. The last in person bookclub of 2020.
The last in person meeting of 2020.
The first thing to come out of my box was a ten-pound bag of rice. It looked like we would be eating a lot of that. Plus beans, canned 🍑es and peanut butter.
You want me to believe you got nothing but peanut butter and 🍑es left? You think I am buying that?

“She had worn her most expensive 🍑 -colored georgette silk dress with matching heels and a real pearl necklace, borrowed from mama-san.”

“He hit her again and again, banging her head against the side lamp of the car until she stopped making any noise. Blood covered her face and the front of her 🍑 -colored dress.”
