I’m imagining a fat tube of my favorite foods six feet wide and taller than me as I stand up straight, by five feet. In side this beautifully transparent place are John-made turkey sandwiches, big chocolate chunk chocolate chip cookies, blueberry cup cakes from ‘His Bakery,’ seven kinds of doughnuts, fat dill pickles, fresh pineapple, and salted peanuts!
I’d only be half as pleased as my cats when John brings home a big bag of their food and fills two white plastic containers, stacked in the kitchen corner. This column of excellence isn’t transparent but Formica and Tesla know! They politely tap on my leg and walk me right in and tip their head at it, pointing. They rub their necks on it and jump up a bit and throw their arched backs against it and feel rich.
We also have columns of toys, floor to ceiling, for visiting children to tip out and explore Perhaps I’d rather have a tube of doughnuts only. They’d be beautiful as well as useful.  nancymauerman.com
