I have a neighbor we call "Happy". I never see her angry at anything and never hear her say a harsh word to anyone.

Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spend many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watch interestingly as Happy and Ben double the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbs faster than Ben's beans, we all wish we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spend our money at the market, Happy picks beans in her garden.

One day Happy and Ben invite most of the neighborhood over for an "all-day food festival". We are told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We don5t know what is about to take place.

By 9:00 a. m. , there are nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans and squash. By 10:00 a. m. 5 there is lots of laughter. We share a lot of funny stories. By five o'clock p. m・, everyone is a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we play games. As we are leaving, Happy and Ben give each of us a shopping bag full of the bounty of the day. What a delightful gift!

Well, the point isn't so much about the food. The true gift is a day of friends enjoying one another's company.
