Luke's Diner, 9/13 (Monday)

Lacey had been nattering on to the staff for a while now about a hundred little initiatives they could all take to be more environmentally conscious around the diner: CFL lightbulbs, more ecofriendly soaps and cleaning supplies, installing timers on the lighting, being careful about how often they opened the fridge, yadda yadda yadda.

She'd ordered the soaps and cleaning supplies over the weekend, come in this morning with a bag of CFL lightbulbs to tackle the kitchen and supply room lighting installations, and -- discovered that the walls had somehow sprouted wall planters of spinach and broccoli overnight.

"Boy, when I said I wanted to go green, this isn't exactly what I had in mind."

"We?" echoed Lacey, her own face lighting up out of . . . let's be honest, a sense of accomplishment at possibly cheering Rilla up. "You have siblings?"

"I'm the youngest of six," Rilla said. "My siblings are either teaching or off in school."

"Is it nice?" Lacey -- who was an only child -- had to ask. "Growing up with so many other kids in the house?"

"It's all I've known," Rilla said with a smile, "but it was nice to have guaranteed playmates."

"It must be really lonely for your mom, then," Lacey mused, half wondering about the budgeting involved in taking care of that many kids. "I'll see what I can find about that discount for you."

Rilla beamed at her. "Thank you ever so much, Miss---"

"Burrows," Lacey supplied quickly. "But you can call me Lacey. It's okay."

"Oh, I could never do that," Rilla gaped. "It wouldn't be proper!"
