Description
My in-laws were live-in caregivers to a woman in her 90’s who had left her home in Canada to live in Florida. I was never clear on the details of the arrangement, but the crux of it was when Alice died they would inherit the house and the contents. After she died, my wife and I were invited to pick through some of her mementos to free up space for our in-laws. It turned out she had some nicely preserved tea sets among her china. We ran off with some of them and have kept them ever since, as a reminder of our friendship with the woman who used to call me, “The Funny Man.” (Rarely have I been so complimented.)
