A gabby garden. Not housebound by a housedress. Gene Kelly’s not the only one “happy again.” A comforter in sleepwear. Ward Cleaver carries Yogananda. The Big Dipper meets a Honda. Three close encounters of the third kind …with music. A young white-coat truth-teller. Unlikely bloomers and likely singers. Sounds of silence and sounds of war. Following the Aspens and vice versa. Being still. Being held. A dad, a prayer, a doctor. And, what about next time? Gifts in a life. Each in its turn.
