kindness


My favorite crab cake spot on Smith Island is closed, the woman at the docks tells me. So I go to the visitor center for a cold bottle of water. The lady there loans me her bike so I can ride around the village. As I get back the woman from the docks is there with toasted bread, roast beef, salad, cantaloupe, bottle of water, a lemon, a lime and a slice of Smith Island nine layer cake.

It was a finer lunch than any crab cake I might have bought.

Hello Steve , what book are you taking along with you for this trip?
Have a good one!

I am not at all surprised. And I'm sure roast beef is even dearer on the island than crab. I'll look forward to your report from Tylerton.
