Lloyd, a farmer from the Cove area, makes a weekly delivery of eggs to our doorstep. He customarily leaves Charlie with a homemade beef jerky treat, perhaps to quell the latter’s barking and protective actions. Today he left an oversize egg in a bag as it wouldn’t fit in the usual egg cartons he delivers. Later on, we walked through strong winds and slushy streets with Charlie Boy. And we got in another hour or so of reading aloud, now about 450 pages into the 750 page total of the Joseph Mitchell, “Up In The Old Hotel” book. Stay tuned for more thrills.
