When Mom had her problem and could not stop her nose bleeding, a neighbor Tom came to the rescue. He stayed with her until the ambulance arrived and then followed the ambulance and stayed with her until the nose was cauterized and then brought her home. We all thought Tom was wonderful to be so helpful, and Mom wanted to really thank him and his wife and so invited Tom and Leslie to dinner last night.
HW2 cooked up a storm of good northern Italian cooking and we had bruschetta, antipasta, salad with pears and walnuts, penne pasta carbonara, and chicken breasts in lemon and wine. This feast was followed by sour cherry pie made by Mom. Of course, we all talked the whole time.
Tom and Leslie are retired teachers. She volunteers for various civic things, and now he gives piano lessons, as he was a band/music teacher. Leslie was a physical education teacher. He likes to cook, and being of Italian descent, he thoroughly enjoyed HW2's meal. They were thoroughly delightful, and a good time was had by all. So, Anne, Tom is no longer mysterious, but a good Samaritan who really helped Mom when she needed help. Thank you, Tom, for being a great and wonderful neighbor.

Tom really reminded us of brother-in-law Mike, and we did have to tell Tom the story about Anne's "mysterious Mike" from last summer. Also, for the record, 1HW did inform me that he called me "Hon" all evening, but he was so nice, I chose to ignore it. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet. I've done a lot of that lately!
