nourishing

We're staying with a fan in Moose Jaw tonight: Dara's Aunt Brenda. She served us muffins and cheese in reference to our blog post about Raymore.

Literature teacher gives close reading to text, interprets with humour.

I love how Brenda fed us when we arrived after our second-last concert. (My friend Michelle fed us a light, healthy supper before our Caronport concert.) The physical nourishment makes me think of a word my cousin Marilou used of our Friday night concert in Weyburn: nourishing.

To know that we have fed people`s souls well, even as so many of our hosts have fed our bodies with just the right foods ... To share our bread with friends and strangers, this has also been nourishing for us.


p.s. Aunt Brenda a fan of the Minus 40 Tour, but she's an even bigger fan of Jane Austen! I'm sleeping in the Jane Austen room tonight. In addition to books and movies, there are two Jane Austen dolls: one from Little Thinker Dolls (basically a beanie baby!) and one an action figure complete with writing desk. Who knew?
