Tillie Cobb No. 16 in the Cobblestone Circle Series |
|
It is a cold spring morning and Tillie Cobb is standing in her kitchen looking
out the window at what just might be the perfect sunrise. The eastern sky is literally a rainbow progression of dainty pinks at the horizon all the way through deep indigo directly overhead. She can even pick out a few stars that have yet to be washed away by the daylight. How many mornings has she stood by this window waiting for the coffee to be ready? She and Jack built this house shortly after they were married ~ and that was almost 46 years ago. And to think her mother said it would never last (the marriage that is ~ everyone knew Jack built great houses). True enough, they were young for marriage but Tillie found what she was looking for in those sparkling eyes of his. Even during the rough times, she can always counton Jack for a bit of good-hearted mischievous fun.
Take her bunny slippers for example. Jack bought them for her when she had been upset about needing bifocals. Although he teased her about the slippers being large enough for her to find without her glasses, she saw through all that and recognized that what he was really doing was reminding her that there are many ways to feel young. And the look on his face when she actually wore them was priceless!
