glenn, my younger brother, is here with his new in-laws. i am still in bed when they appear outside my door getting a buffet breakfast. i get up. mother is throwing things out, old things from her childhood. there is a box of heavy bottles. then she has her old sewing kit, covered in green satin. i ask her if she covered it herself. no, she replies, perhaps grandmother did, or her grandmother. she is telling people about her life. pat took the sewing kit. he may still have it. pat is my older brother.
