about you all the time oh he's really

messed around here I miss him too I

don't want to impose but would you mind

oh I'd love to thank you this is so

exciting so what are you doing in

Medford Boston was feeling noisy and I'm

tight on deadlines I'm going to take

advantage of my uncle's beautiful

cottage and then I'll put it on the

market oh did you bring violet with you

she won't let me go anywhere without her

she's kind of a diva

well welcome both of you to Mitford oh

wait one moment I know you're here to

work but every Friday night with a

potluck in the park it's a summer

tradition and we don't have anyone

signed up for side dishes so we

desperately need you will you come oh

this looks lovely but I'm here to work

and I don't even have a title yet even

violets looking at me like I'm a slacker

and she napped 17 hours a day well that

he was she to judge if I can swing it

all come by great

so nice to meet you

[Music]

it's not working

I'm not avoiding I'm looking for

inspiration

oh you made it is that macaroni and

cheese a bacon because I have been

craving macaroni and cheese all week no

sorry

potato salad store-bought honey I told

you I'd make you that mac and cheese

oh really wet when our baby is 20 hi I'm

Hal great veterinarian terrible husband

you must be sent to you nice to meet you

nice to meet you too your Uncle Frank

used to brag about you a lot I it's

always nice to hear this is our daughter

Zoe hi I have all your books signed I

want to be ready too well and you're

published I want the first signed copy

yeah a deal let's get this food on the

table nice to meet you oh I am so sorry

hi hi oh yeah well father does that make

telling me often almost running me off

the road a little bit more palatable so

I accidentally almost run you off the

road and you have a direct line but the

big man upstairs so are you admitting

that you almost ran me off the road

because going by the look on your face

the other day kind of seemed like you

thought I was too boy it was an accident

I promise besides it's dangerous it's a

classic how do you even go grocery

shopping I don't I don't I have friends

I have neighbors and parishioners and

they bring over casseroles just about

every single back well I'm gonna be a

big disappointment because the only time

I ever tried to make a casserole I ended

up close personal friends with the fire

chief well don't worry my freezer is

full anyway look our first two

interactions were questionable at best

so why don't we try this one more time I

am father Tim Cavanaugh and it is a

pleasure to meet you miss coppersmith

your uncle has told me so many wonderful

things about you is there anybody he

didn't talk to about me around here

everyone talks to everyone about

everything and if you know

just fine

[Music]

how please ask me to dance before my

belly gets so big that we cannot even

reach each other excuse me may I have

this dance ma'am

sure

[Music]

[Music]

they I couldn't thanks thanks

nice guys not too light on his feet how

are your toes I'll let you know when I

get the x-rays back hmm

why is everyone staring at us

well Mitford doesn't get a lot of

newcomers especially like you what does

that mean

glamorous big-city author probably

doesn't have a pair of jeans to her name

I have lodgings they said it was party

so I wore my party clothes you know I

feel a little bit like I am under a

microscope yeah that's Sally she has a

tendency to do that she's very sweet but

she's she's a little young for me I'm

not interested not interested your

priest

a fiscal priest Oh so the dating and

everything's okay yes dating and

everything is okay but when you live in

a town this size if she's not here now

she probably never will be do you ever

think about moving no never I love this

place I love it here I love the

community and the people were like a

family

albeit an unconventional family that's

what I remember when I used to visit my

uncle I am putting a lot of pressure on

Mitford to get my next book written I'm

a little stuck mm-hmm well that happens

to everyone don't don't be too hard on

yourself the best thing to do when

there's a block is to try to find the

underlying fear because often that's

that's the cause at least that's what I

tell people when they come to me for

advice

do you think I'm scared I didn't say

that I said I've seen that another

that's just a suggestion writing some

process no get over it okay I didn't

mother Jim you did promise me a dance

tonight

he's all yours

[Music]

may I have this dance miss coppersmith

does everybody know everything and

Medford that's right I'm Jackie Marie

nice to meet you Jackie Marie you know I

was gonna stay home tonight and catch up

on some work but now I'm really glad I

didn't

[Music]

I am so glad that you came tonight

Zoe can we give you a ride home

oh you know it's such a beautiful night

I think I'll walk okay good night good

night

[Music]

I'm surprised you turned down that ride

why it's beautiful night well you never

know what looks in the dark and Midford

I live in Boston

I'm not afraid let me walk you home

we're gonna be very neighborly of me to

let you walk home alone in the dark even

if you can totally handle it okay look

I'm sorry if I got too personal back

there people tend to come to me for

counsel and then I don't know when to

push the off button even your uncle used

to you know some people even say I'm

good at it yeah but do they have any

other choice around here oh they do not

they are stuck with me and you're only

trying to help I'm sure it's an

occupational hazard and I'm fine just

happens you know you get stuck then you

get a breakthrough

how much shoes

I'm sorry okay boots and sneakers what's

that that's what people were around here

they wear boots and sneakers

I guess my city girl showing growth

you're I'm sorry my strap is just I

don't know what are you okay my strap

broke sure boots the sneakers you sure

you okay I'm fine

good we should be careful though people

see us like this they might start to

talk seems like people talk here no

matter what you do that too hi hi

everything okay here we go oh yeah I

broke my shoe well it's a good thing I

drove by get in I'll take you both home

huh oh um okay I'll probably just walk

my shoes are still intact so Oh night

neighbor good night boots and sneakers

[Music]

father Tim I didn't know you had a dog

yes good eye he's a stray Oh always

doing the Lord's work aren't you

by the way my niece is in town oh you

two have so much in common

do it she's an animal person too and she

likes pizza it's almost eerie some lucky

woman will land you yet father Tim mark

my words I just hope it's my niece me

penny he's definitely a healthy puppy

Tim he's a puppy he's the size of an SUV

it's gonna get even bigger that's

usually how that works yeah I've never

seen him before no chip it's kind of a

mystery hmm well I guess I'll put some

fliers around town or something

yeah pretty smart him choose and use his

new owner I am NOT keeping him it is a

proven fact pets make you live longer

oh of course having a wife could make

you live even longer than that and all

this time I thought it was healthy

eating and exercise to make the trip

very good look at that she wants to stay

with you how he's gonna love it here

with the family and all this space no no

no no we are at full capacity here and

Marge said she would divorce me if I

brought over any more strays and after

all that pre-marriage counseling you

gave us can't imagine you want to see

that happen

well I will keep him until I find food

oh that's all come on dog no whoa whoa

will you you can't call him dog okay you

got to give him a proper name she may

already have a name and I don't want to

give him an identity crisis well he's

definitely not a max or a Rex what's he

look like like I went to seminary with

excuse me same eyes and he also used to

come over uninvited and we had a house

at home so there you have it until

further notice you will be known as

Barnabas no come on yeah that'll do okay

I'll give you two a lift you can't haul

them around another thing you drive

we walked actually see you're acting

like a natural dog owner already

hey father Tim also hey Dooley hey

father Tim I can't thank you enough for

offering to watch my grandson I didn't

know what to do with him after school

let out for the summer

oh that's my pleasure it'll be nice to

have some help around here his his

official title would be in Turkey so he

doesn't feel like he needs a babysitter

good thinking

Dooley come on over say hello to father

Tim hey Dooley hi have you met Barnabas

yeah

haha he's gotten a little withdrawn

since his parents were deployed it's

never easy when they're on a tour well

get his mind off it don't you worry

we're gonna have some fun right Julie

maybe you can help me find his owner

he's not yours sure thinks he is he's

trying to tell you something right now

you know do you speak doc there's no

such thing what course there is you just

got to give it time right now he's

telling you that he wants you to throw

that ball for I'll do it but he never

said that I'll do my show don't you were

aah

once he gets comfortable he's a fun kid

he's a prankster yesterday I walked

around town with a post-it on my back

that said I'm a hundred years old today

didn't know why strangers were telling

me I looked so good for my age well I'll

be sure to watch my back thank you

Father

okay you got it oh hi I have that book

you ordered great and I also heard a

little rumor about you and Cynthia

rolling around on the ground Marge she

fell down and she took me with it I said

don't believe everything that you hear

okay that's why I'm asking you

they always bet my rumors for accuracy

oh well thankfully this knight in

shining armor came by gave her lift well

it's a good thing I have a car because

she was really struggling in those shoes

Marge I want every one of her books I

need to know everything there is to know

about that woman it's been a while since

someone made my heart skip a beat like

that great and you you got the lucky

geography right next door Tom I don't

know her very well but she certainly

seems I know really great not often you

meet a woman like that in Medford aren't

you going back to Atlanta

well once I sell my father's properties

yes but there's a lot of real estate I

need to sell they just keep me here as

long as she is

ah she is here to work also my we're

kindred spirits what are the odds of

that happening huh oh I need this old

property across the street right now so

I'll be back to pick up the books later

I got to read them all before I take

Cynthia to dinner at the Country Club

tomorrow night she's going out with you

well she doesn't know it yet but she

will

[Music]

morning morning now you mind father Tim

and I'll see you tonight okay I wanna

come with you

Dooley we've been over this now come on

hey Julie I made up those Flyers I was

telling you about to try and find

Barnabas's owner what do you say we put

him up

if we find his owner would you have to

give him back I would hey you know I

told you I speak dog

you're weird maybe so but I am bilingual

[Music]

hmm Cynthia hi hi jack

thanks again for the ride the other

night those shoes were not my best

judgment call well we live and learn

right I'm just happy I showed up when I

did the reason I'm calling is I want to

take you to dinner tomorrow night at the

Country Club best spaghetti bolognaise

on the planet they've got articles

written about it wow that sounds amazing

thank you so much Jack um you know I am

kind of on a roll here and I've got so

much work to do maybe another time I

completely understand work is important

another time well thanks again jack oh

man that's a nasty little scraper okay

hey let's go sit down

take it easy oh that's too bad it's okay

if I take a look at it I'm Cynthia your

neighbor what's your name Dooley well

you know what that doesn't look so bad

you might live this might stain just a

little no oh look how brave you are

you know what bravery calls for a reward

how about some lemonade Wow

yeah

you

here we are you have more books here

than the library mm-hmm

most of them of my uncle's books he

loved books how did you know that I've

borrowed most of these he was very

generous with his books you liked him

everyone like Frank and maybe that's why

the town has taken to you so quickly

either that or they look at me like I'm

some alien form you know we have met

other city people before you're not our

first and they have taken to you trust

me Marge how Jack maybe it's the

familiar length you know my uncle really

encouraged me to read and that led to my

writing how's that going great I know

you're not asking for advice and I

certainly wouldn't give you any but

sometimes when you focus so hard on

what's not working you can actually make

the block worse

Dulli violets letting you pet her she

never lets anybody pet her that's it for

me and I feed her she likes you

well I made two friends today why

wouldn't you

here you go delete your grandfather's

gonna be here soon okay

thanks for the on advice I wouldn't

dream of giving you any and you're

welcome

hi Marge I'm looking for a book for a

ten year old boy ten year old boy I know

just the one tada

Arnie oh you are the book whisperer

Marge I've always been a bookworm and

I'm saving a spot for your next book

right here oh well you might be waiting

a while I mean these things take time to

get published a little writer's block

oh no secrets an effort not a one no but

I personally don't think there's such

thing as writer's block I think it's all

there is just hiding you know I think

the best thing for writer's block is a

completely unrelated activity like

gardening or dinner with a handsome man

with someone that some may call the most

eligible bachelor in Bedford that's not

the direction I was going in at all well

maybe it should be I don't know it's

been a long time since I've been on a

date well I think it's the perfect

activity for taking your mind off that

book just try something new and

different step off that ledge and break

through that block you know what you're

right hmm I'm gonna do it I'm gonna call

up Jack Emery and tell him I'll have

dinner with him Thank You Marge he was

talking about

thank you so then I moved to Atlanta

permanently and I switched to commercial

real estate

I mean I'd sold just about every

property in Biddeford anyway you can

answer it no you know what they can wait

people aren't nearly present enough

nowadays and when you're sitting across

from such a beautiful woman that's where

your attention should be so you said

that you're only here until the house is

sold pretty much I need a good realtor

if you could recommend one well I

actually know a great one me no I don't

really do residential anymore but I

still have my license so I could do it

for you oh thank you

well it's important to be guided by

someone you can trust so when do you

want to list it in about a month

that's uh that's soon you're getting

sick of all Midford already no actually

not at all it's just I came here to

write my book and I've got to get back

to my real life I know what you mean me

too

so what is your real life like in

Atlanta it's good I mean it could be

better after my divorce I threw myself

into my work it was a necessary

distraction but now that I'm three years

away from it I feel like I want more of

it yeah well I'm only one year away so I

guess I have something to look forward

to

it gets better trust me I know every day

but I appreciate you saying it you're

welcome

one thing all same it for did get right

though it introduced us

thanks for dinner

I was hoping it's the first of many I

apologize I open the door he just bolted

right out and I couldn't stop him cuz I

had these in my hands I Jack Kim these

are from Barnabas he is eternally sorry

and begs for your forgiveness well

Barnabas you are eternally forgiven okay

alright let's go let's go big guy let's

go here we go sorry good night good

night

alright well either you come for a walk

with us or Barnabas's maybe from that

sir boots are sneakers boots boots it is

see I'm adapting what are you doing man

hello sorry if I ruined your date oh you

didn't

maybe Barnabas did but his a his make up

for it so how was it it was good I just

couldn't get my mind off my book or the

lack thereof my deadline is less than a

month so what did you do if that

happened in the past well the thing is

it never used to happen if I felt like I

was going in the wrong direction I would

just talk to my ex I had someone to

bounce ideas off of someone to help me

get back on track and now I guess he's

sharing his creative energy with his new

wife hmm

have you ever been married

I've been engaged but it didn't work out

well at least you had the good sense to

back out before he made a big mistake

actually I didn't she did oh I'm sorry

no she couldn't see herself as the

pastor's wife it's it's a different sort

of path I mean I think giving back is

one of the most rewarding experiences

anyone could ever have but she didn't

really see the benefits then like I did

then plus I couldn't share everything

with her because because the

confidentiality aspect so it's not for

everyone

I'll tell that to the woman at this town

they don't seem to mind your occupation

I'm sure that was a really difficult

time well my father always used to say

that the only way to truly get over a

broken heart is to find us again so what

you're saying is it's gonna be a while

before I finish my book

sukhiya hi I wanted to thank you again

for the azalea well it's the least that

we can do and by we I mean Barnabas and

I picked up something for Julie some

books that I thought he might like oh

that's very sweet of you thank you

Russell's gonna drop him over here in a

little bit I was thinking we could do

something but oh yeah I'd love to to

talk later but right now I've got

company

yeah I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude

no that's fine thank you for thinking to

do it yeah hi hi how are you feeling oh

all right how long I've been in the

hospital three times now Braxton Hicks

oh how did do we like the books I don't

know yeah that gave them to town Julie

wasn't there how come Sam had company so

we didn't really talk well very pretty

woman

well who is she I don't know I've never

seen her before but he can have a woman

over without us prying into his business

right of course but he didn't introduce

you that's odd

that's what I thought not that it

bothered me but you know normally when

someone is there and someone else walks

up right it's strange well it doesn't

matter it's not about this right hmm

I'll find out who she is anyway

that is so strange that the Flyers are

all gone or maybe they didn't just

disappear after all I've been wanting to

read these you should probably think

Cynthia is she your girlfriend no she's

my neighbor why do you ask because when

I'm friends with the girl that's what

grown-ups ask me fair enough but no

she's just a friend oh there you are

good morning what do you have there just

try it

a caramel macchiato I have been staring

at a blank piece of paper all morning

this is just what I need to get some

words written where did you get it

I made it I bought her an espresso

machine for my dad but he's a purist

plain old black coffee guy boring yeah

you know so basically it's now for me

when I'm here you know what they say you

can take the boy away from the city but

you can't take the macchiato away from

the boy I'm indebted to you I like to

see you smile now show me this house I'm

gonna sell for you so what do you think

it's perfection

really you're not gonna give me a whole

to-do list to get the house ready to

sell it's fine you know people just look

at a house for its bones most want to

gut it renovate it and make it their own

cut it yeah for the most part you might

want to clean up that garden though it's

a good selling point I know just the

right guy

I want this transaction to be perfect

and effortless for you I know this is

your uncle's house that I know what it

meant to him so let's do right by him

thank you Oh

god bless good again and again are you

okay sorry it's finally came in yeah yes

Oh Jack I didn't know you had allergy

get it cut oh dear it's this is gonna be

a problem for selling the house no no I

will take an antihistamine but right now

oh you know I have to go okay allergy

cats that's too bad we'll put you on the

protein

oh no I oh it's okay I'm fine thanks

well the garden at the church was

bursting with these and I thought you

might like them oh they are beautiful

aren't they Jack yeah beautiful listen

I'm sorry I was gonna take your lunch

but I gotta go oh no that's okay we'll

do it another time you take care of

yourself sure I love cats

at your place looks like three Kassar

all day you checking up on me some

things are hard to miss you needed tuna

casserole because I've got like 70 I

didn't know you paint yeah I do all my

illustrations I thought since the words

weren't coming I would start this way

and see what happens

hmm well your blending technique is so

beautiful

am I being annoying right now watching

you paint over your shoulder not at all

you're a woman of many talents

unfortunately some of them are sleeping

right now I could help you balance

around some ideas if you want that's the

problem

ya don't know where to begin

it's like he left and took my creativity

with him he isn't what made you a good

writer you can write just as well with

or without him you are a smart kind

talented woman and whether he's there or

not that doesn't change any of it

thank you Father town you can just call

me Tim and now in a strange

role-reversal kind of way I'd love to

get your advice on something

sure anything great come with me I'll

Drive where to the church okay but we're

walking because I'm not getting on that

scooter thing

and originally it was just that front

part right there and just are just a

white chapter and over two years we just

sort of have a nice day for a little

walk well it wasn't so much a walk as it

was a rejection of a scooter oh you've

seen him drive everyone has seen him

Drive I'm so glad I ran into you both

Helen I want to have everyone over to

the farm for Labor Day

one final summer picnic before the real

Labor Day - sounds like fun I think

Russell's got to work by Dooley and I

will be there okay I can bring macaroni

and cheese and bacon oh I'm so over that

just ice cream 24:07

got it it's easy with chocolate sauce

and sprinkles okay drive safe thank you

the original pastor of this church

painted both of these they're actually

over a hundred years old I've been

wanting to restore them for some time

now but I wanted to make sure I did it

right they're incredible Tim so what do

you think it'll take a conservation

varnish over the original artwork will

protect it but then you need to come in

and Teleca it hmm so I guess any old guy

could do it then right sure yeah I can

do it

you know I can't ask that of you you've

got your book no I want to it's good to

give back my right brain could use the

distraction Oh pain all day and write

all night that does sound like the

perfect balance I mean we could pay you

a little bit oh I wouldn't dream of it I

want to do it from effort

father Tim here's the altar arrangement

for Sunday I had a valise your favorite

very nice Sally Cynthia has offered to

restore our paintings isn't that great

great I'm it is Episcopalian aren't

though might not be her specialty

sure even if she was Protestant it would

probably be fine but it's a good thing

that we don't have to convert you let me

get some pictures so that I can color

match the paint great are we lucky so

miss this deadline they're going to drop

publishers breathing down my neck and I

can't protect you for so long I know

James I'll get it done

can I please have the water of fizzy

water sure you sleep all right

yep could you open it for me absolutely

there was club soda literally all over

my shirt my word is the second shirt of

the day well you have to admit it's a

pretty clever trick Rosie I want to tell

him I'm impressed

he's helping Sally in the office and

Russell warned me he said that it could

be a little prankster well you know

you're gonna have to get him back I

don't know any pranks I might be able to

help you with that you know some pranks

are there any limits to your talents no

they're infinite well these are coming

along so nicely yeah and I'll be able to

finish before I leave and when is that

exactly well when I sell the house but

first things first I have got to get

that garden together yeah and write a

book sometime in there yeah that too hmm

but you know this has been very

meditative it's helped I've always found

them very powerful it makes me remember

why I decided to become a priest why is

that

I lost my father when I was a kid and I

became very shut down and it was this

place this church that brought me back

everyone here rallied around me my

mother I realized that family isn't only

blood it's community it's congregation

and I knew that I needed to be that for

people the same way that they saved me

just like what you're doing for dueling

it's nothing like that yeah in this life

we're always searching for where we

belong but one day became very clear to

me that I belonged up there on that

altar boring people to tears every

Sunday I am sure you're not that boring

um well we'll just have to see about

that yeah so you'll come on Sunday yeah

and you will stay awake well no promise

is there I'll take it sorry no go ahead

hi jack

yeah yeah I can talk I'm fine

why did you have me change my shirt the

other one was fun look nice

why for dinner I made it sort of I

heated up so stuff for one of the church

women smells good

oh by the way mr. Smith is coming over

for dinner

how did that happen when you invited her

what are your tips but I didn't send

this text that's weird your phone sure

says you did oh you should get that

it's your guest don't worry about me i

ta Oh

cash flows in the microwave hi it seems

we've been set up this is nice thank you

Dooley welcome everyone's a matchmaker

around here well I am sure there are no

shortage of women in town who were

happily vying for the title of Miss

Potter Jim Cavanaugh but like I said

she's not Midford you're telling me

there isn't one woman who has remotely

piqued your interest well there's a

certain thing and I felt it once with my

ex-fiance and that is the criteria and

you can't settle for Less yeah I know

that feeling and once you've had it you

just can't lower your standards it makes

everything harder yes it does

is that what you're looking for with

Jack oh no I don't mean to pry it's none

of my business

no he's selling my uncle's house and

he's friendly he makes a great cup of

coffee that's that's all I mean how can

I start a relationship here when I'm

gonna be leaving so soon you're right

it wouldn't make any sense and a couple

more things before we go

Russell Jack's unfortunately is still in

the hospital so please add him to your

prayer chains okay and on a happier note

mrs. Sloan is feeling a whole lot better

she thanks the entire congregation for

the flowers for the good thoughts

clearly your prayers are making a

difference so keep it up everyone and

I'd also like to thank miss Cynthia

coppersmith for taking the time to

restore our treasured paintings means so

much to everyone who thank you so much

[Applause]

is it no good job and oh no way you

could have to be kidding me your caramel

macchiato again no repayment necessary I

care about my clients I care about you

listen I've got to show that building on

main but just to recap the plan we've

got

azaleas in the back roses around the

edges peonies and delphiniums are in the

center all right and then we will have

restored my uncle's garden to its former

glory well I'll get my guy on it right

your back Cynthia I promise I will take

care of you

that English it's Italian

what did coffee get so fancy when they

started charging six dollars for it hey

we came with a master plan to restore my

uncle's garden great show me

and then roses all along the perimeter

Frank would have loved that I can help

you prep it thank you

I really want to do right by him he

encouraged my writing I wrote my first

book in the garden it was called the

unicorn princess it was about a lost

butterfly clearly my narrative skills

have improved with time but you haven't

been back much over the years he came to

all my book signings always in the front

row it's not every day that a

best-selling author in the family they

weren't always my first two weren't

successful and then I gave violet

magical powers to help children's up

their problems and everything cooked if

only we all had a magical cat right my

marriage was struggling and I didn't

know how to fix it so you gave violet

the power to fix problems that you

couldn't something like that but now

everything has to be a best-seller can't

please all the people all the time get

it right what speaks to you because

that's when your voice is the most

powerful at least that's what I hope for

when I write my sermons well it's

working because you're very well

received as are your books moves us

hopefully our passion comes through for

others passion that's what I'm missing I

think I've lost my passion well we all

I've offered good counsel

like I said this story has been told

before well then you need to rewrite the

ending you a vet or a therapist Wow you

know the only one around here gets to

tell people what to do Tim if I've

learned anything from you over the years

it's you gotta have a little faith come

on you let's go

[Music]

these shelves are gonna look so empty

without all this books I know violet I'm

having a hard time packing up to these

old clubs if you just have hit balls on

you could I brought macaroni and cheese

with bacon lo mein so it's probably

terrible oh it's the thought that counts

Russell you look great I feel great I'm

just glad to be at home again with this

guy but we'll still spend lots of time

together right you mean Barnabas yeah

yeah I miss coppersmith of course for as

long as I'm still here can't thank the

two of you enough for everything you've

done

my pleasure a pearl at all

it's okay whoa hey grandpa said I should

say things

I'm Hugo put this on the table faith my

friend

right

so I found out who that woman is that's

been visiting Tim her name is Olivia

Davenport and she is from Wesley that

explains why I've never seen her around

town turns out that she's just having

marital problems and he's helping her

talk it through just like he helps

everyone one of the reasons why he's our

most eligible bachelor and looks like

he's off the hook with Sally oh good for

Sally every pop deserves its lid and I'm

glad she has hers every pot well maybe

I've already had my lid and that's all I

can't I don't think that's true

look he's not interested in any of them

have you seen the way he looks at you it

does always feel like he wants to say

something to me but he never does maybe

he will can I talk to you

father Tim can you come for dinner on

Friday bye nice from I'm sorry mr.

Shipley I'm not gonna be able to do that

taking credit not so good at taking

action the garden was all Tim Oh Tim

you're not getting rid of your nosy

neighbor after all whose garden you read

to realize it

I can't say I'm disappointed to hear

that I am thankful and I apologize you

here you saw me you made me feel like

the woman I used to be I had closed up

shop after my husband left and you

opened it but for some reason I couldn't

not as the incredible Kitsch every woman

in this town knows you are but I won't
