“Bless your heart, some of the most remarkable flavors come out of your kitchen. For instance, is this tea or tepid rinse water left over from this morning’s dishes?”

“All I’m saying, my dear, is that this is my first cup of coffee this morning. If you wish to live to see today’s sunset, and I mean this most sincerely, you’ll let me finish it. Quietly. Thank you very much.”

Karen looked much younger than her 65 years, except for the hands: No matter how much lotion she rubbed it, she still looked like old lady hands.
