Love's Labours Lost

My brother and I spent the afternoon going through some boxes of my mother's things. She died almost twenty years ago, and somehow we never finished dealing with "it all". We actually had a good time. Reduced four big boxes to two by dibbsing some items and Goodwilling others, and sold a full box of kitsch kitchen dishes. Steve was touched by these two spiders who had spun webs in adjacent parfait glasses. So near, and yet so far.
