Lamp Sky Diptych

There was a river behind the house. I remember the tablecloth had small faded cherries printed along the border. The chicken soup was warm and the roll was so soft being just pulled out of the toaster oven. The lamp in the living room was plugged into one of those automatic timers that would turn the light on like magic. It was 6:00 pm. I remember because grandma set the timer for 6:oo pm.
