Today On My Way


To Joe & Jackie's house, I drove on a cobblestone road and made a stop at a local bakery that is known for its tomato pie where I was greeted at the door by the elderly baker of Italian ethnicity before I crossed the street and entered a neighborhood corner market where I was greeted by the owner who was of Polish ethnicity.

I could not help, but to think at that moment, that this is exactly how this neighborhood was a hundred years ago in the days of my own ancestors, right down to the cobblestone road..
