    Although he didn’t say so, Patrick looked worried. We had broiled lamb chops, broccoli with olive oil and garlic and baked potatoes for supper, eating in the barn while the sauce cooked. I like to cook my sauce overnight and have it sit in the fridge for a day or more for the spices to infuse their flavors. This is how Mom taught me and this is how her mother-in-law, my Nana Sophia taught her. Patrick was in and out of the barn all evening and well past midnight. He had his cell phone with him. At three o’clock in the morning Patrick came into the house and said, “I can’t get a hold of anyone and the colt is in the wrong position. Susan will not answer her cell phone or home telephone and I can’t leave the mare at this juncture. I need Susan’s help. She is experienced in these things. Doc Phillips took over her father’s practice. You are going to have to go to her house and get her.” “It is three o’clock in the morning, Patrick what if Susan won’t come?”“Susan will come, Marie. If nothing else we are neighbors and that is what folks around here do in emergencies and besides, Susan always keeps her promises. Susan’s house is less than four miles up the road and her red minivan was parked in the driveway. I rang her doorbell and waited…no answer.

    he hitchhiked into town on the milk truck and you and your mother brought him home. He wouldn’t tell me what he promised you.” “Go to hell!” Susan responded. “We can’t get the Vet on the phone. The mare might die giving birth if you don’t come. I have no idea how to help Patrick deliver a baby horse.” The front porch light came on. Susan opened it and stood in the doorway glaring at me, “Patrick remembers that?” “Yes he did, and he kept your secret” I answered “What did he buy his mother?” she demanded. “Patrick bought her White Shoulders dusting powder.” “Tell me what he promised me?” Susan demanded. “I asked and he wouldn’t tell me” and I told her verbatim exactly what was said. Susan sighed and said quietly “Don’t expect me to invite you into my house. You can damn well wait on the porch while I get Dad’s bag. And don’t you dare thank me. I’m not doing this for you. I’ll be right out.” Talk about bad luck and awkward; Susan’s minivan wouldn’t start and we had to drive together in icy silence. Susan went immediately to the barn and spoke quietly with Patrick. There was no point in me being there. I went back into the house to try to get Sam or the vet on the telephone. I was unsuccessful. Patrick came back into the house around six in the morning. Thanks to Susan the mare and colt are doing fine. Patrick was explaining the technical stuff when Susan came into the kitchen to wash her hands. We didn’t speak. Susan looked at me and nodded and I nodded back. I made us a pot of ...
