One of few remaining personal belongings from life before marriage is out of commission until a new filter arrives by mail.¶ Hoover vacuum sucked up a chip of loose brick Saturday during basement clean (part 2). While weekend themed (aside from spring clean) Orthodox, week preceding and this one, with upcoming logo(plural) lab, returns to local culture and encounters among Quaker, Amish, and Germanic Catholics:
- millennial-generation dental hygienist who keeps a journal about her young son with pen and paper notebook is great-granddaughter of German immigrant who left a trunk full of hand-written logs about his farm life in this land;
- her boss with a prairie gardening/photography habit won't talk long about native grasses without detailing the good and bad about their root systems;
- an extroverted freelance produce stand guy at 24/7 grocery store parking lot shares about corn, melon, a ¶President, and treks transporting Amish to their chiropractors;
- local Catholic Worker House email nearing its second year anniversary shares link to a student video documenting their growth and over 1,000 local volunteers.
