Middle daughter Marcy drove out today over lunch with a pot of homemade soup, brimming with wild rice and meat and vegetables too numerous to list. It's her own concoction and we pronounced it delicious. . . and the patient ate more than usual and soon started in on an afternoon nap. Marcy also left behind fresh bagels and famous bacon from Kowalskis -- all part of a nefarious plot to coax a bigger breakfast appetite out of her mother. Our Uptown Girl has a big date tonight so Mom will be surreptitiously texting in hopes of getting the inside low-down.
