5/6: bakery lady

I've been going to the same bakery for years (I buy cupcakes for my students there). But I don't seem to be able to make a personal, friendly connection with the women who work at the bakery. Today, however, was different. The cupcakes weren't fully decorated by the time I arrived, and the woman who was finishing them up chatted with me and chose really cute cupcake-toppers that she thought would make my students smile. A breakthrough moment.

a cozy knitted shawl with a lovely broach to hold it in place...my mother gave me the broach many years ago and i had never worn it, i think it was waiting patiently in my jewel box to find its rightful place, and it feels like i am carrying a bit of my mon with me..
