The News from Lake Wobegon for June 15, 2013
It was a quiet week. It was a contemplative week, a week of meditation—in other words, it rained a lot.
The host finds his own book at the Hedlunds’ garage sale, Lake Wobegon High School valedictorian Louise Larson celebrates graduation, the Halvorson-Josephson wedding is called off, and a few thoughts on Father’s Day.
The clouds cleared up during this evening’s rehearsal and we were treated to a great view of Mount Rainier from backstage at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery.
I think I’m glad we don’t live forever. That it all ends, at least here, anyway, makes washing clothes and baking a pie and getting together with each other and watching a sunset all kind of beautiful. Because everything ends. A gift, indeed, if you think about it.
- Mrs. Sundberg ponders mortality and offers a recipe for “Rhubarbecued Ribs” in her latest column.
She was very old, our old dame,
Our cat, 17, Meiko was her name.
On Friday she was not herself at all.
She lay, her face turned to the wall
Silent and subdued
Saturday, she did not touch her food.
On Sunday she paced back and forth
Across the bedroom floor
And did not brush our leg or purr
Or make a sound. We petted her
And she seemed very far away.

From Garrison’s tribute to Meiko the cat

When it comes to a birthday, really anything goes. Fillings are good, layers good, cupcakes or cakes with flowers or confetti or little plastic people or plain cakes — all good. What I love most is the idea of a whole cake for one person, glowing with lit candles, and a song to go along.
