Letter to the editor: Return of wallet was heartening
I left my wallet/phone in a shopping cart at Hannaford today, but I didn’t realize it was missing until I had gone home and put chicken drumsticks in the oven, thrown together some muffins for my darling daughter who is leaving me, again (!) in a couple of days, and heard a news report about the January 6 insurrection hearings interrupted by the news that Roe v. Wade has been overturned.
There’s a lot to be sad about and a lot of work to be done, but it never even occurred to me that my wallet wouldn’t be at the Hannaford Customer Service desk when I went to ask about it, or that my $8 would still be in it with my debit and credit cards and, more importantly, my library card. That’s exactly what happened, and I reckon that’s pretty nice.
