" I have 23 acres",
I repeated to him, 23 acres? and he said, yup--23 acres. My eyes filled.
I don't know how Al does it--- but he gives us these signs continuosly.
I couldn't wait for Cassidy to know, so I went over to her and told her to go ask Bob(the owner) how many acres he has. She wouldn't ask but another girl in her camp did and he told them 23 acres. Cass smiled.
Of course there are 23 acres.
The thing is, I avoid conversation at all costs and this nice man came over and was being so kind-- he offered to make me a cup of coffee, and he was easy to talk to. He reminds me of my father-in-law. So nice and with a silly sense of humor.
We've been touched by people's kindness and in it Alec weaves his signs to us.
