Peter, my oldest brother, called earlier this evening. He has a couple pics he wants my help identifying in our local college's alum mag - set my copy aside to go over with him, it was such a secure place that I forgot where it was!
And he wondered if I had a particular church publication, a book. I sounded surprised to hear that I don't, since it was unheard of in our household to not have a full set of the books! He mentioned ordering it from the Cathedral Book Center.
Without a thought, I immediately offered to pick up a copy & trek it out to him.
Old habits die hard. Being there for my sibs is downright entrenched. I doubt Peter's feathers will be in the least ruffled by my stepping aside & letting him order it, the Book Center send it. He hadn't asked me to step in; the offer was purely reflexive on my part.
Great thing about growing older - we really DO get wiser! Or at least we wise up.
