this is where we ate this evening after watching Contagion. a movie made especially for the monk, the king of disaster scenarios.

Romans Restaurant and Bakery. I don’t recommend it for it’s food but the ambiance was superb. we were the only people in there other than the waitress and the cook.

three signs I saw today…

a proud peacock is tomorrow’s feather duster.

*****************************************************

miss universe pageant wasn’t fair, only earth competed.

****************************************************

thank god for our father’s our soldiers and our veterans.

****************************************************************

there was another one attributed to JFK I think.

something like…

forgive your enemies but remember their names.

now,
novellas but there’s so much drama going on with my own familia that
these stories seem boring by comparison.

there have been storms.
beautiful and fierce.
y’all know how to have storms here.

thanks for all the well wishes.
ms moon and ms bones, we walk the same land and breathe the same
thick and soupy air.
I am reading you but can’t comment.

ms bones I’m thinking you are going to have the best time in Atlanta.
I know you will.

at the Walmart the other day there was a nun standing in front of the plastic produce bags
so I lightly touched her shoulder and said excuse me sister. she turned and looked alarmed and
I apologized telling her I didn’t mean to startle her and she said

“i thought you were having a vision
and I wanted to get in on it”

she was so funny and dear and she made me laugh and held my hand in hers and It made me
so happy. it made up for sister Mary Margaret making me kneel on salt in second grade for talking.

maybe that’s why I am not a talkative person.

It’s get out of dodge time.
I can’t find the source of this picture just now but  it pretty 
much sums it up for me at the moment.
Wish I had the boots. 
No matter, I’ve got some lovely flip flops and long
skirts and white white white things to wear.
The gang is driving me to points north to catch a flight to Florida.
I’ll be in touch if my electronic toys don’t give out.

Lately…
I’ve been spending one day a week with my Em.
We go eat, we hit the thrift store and run errands
one of which is getting her nails done. It’s not
an errand for her but for me, well…
I sit there and take pictures… 

we go have tea at Linnea’s Garden Coffee House…

We talk, we laugh, we argue and roll our eyes at each other. We couldn’t be
more different but we also couldn’t love each other more.
After the last few years, to have arrived here where we are 
today is a gift I am forever grateful for.

New Eyes…

Yesterday morning I had a dream that we were moving into a new place and
I was beyond excited. I don’t remember anything else about the dream 
except that breathless fresh  feeling.
We’ve lived in this house for a very long time and though I love this house, there
are many things I don’t like about it and I would move on in a heart beat should the
opportunity and the perfect alternative present itself. 
In other words, we ain’t goin’ nowhere.
For now.
So, I am challenging myself to see something in this house, everyday, in a new way.
That other challenge of not using the car in town, has worked out 
pretty well so I have high hopes.

The Crone’s Concoctions

I am still mostly pretending I don’t have a car and walking everywhere in town. 
Lu isn’t liking it much as the ranch is a drive away and when we set off for
a walk to the PO, the only one she can manage from the house, she pulls me towards
the truck and shoots laser beams of hate when I say “NO, it’s town or nothing”.
You’ve never seen such a put upon bulldog.
The wild fennel growing all over town is tall and about to give up it’s seeds 
which make a fine face wash if you have oily skin. I’ve been concocting creams of late. 
My skin has taken a turn. An ugly turn. 
I’m suddenly dealing with breakouts and bumps and having tried all 
sorts of store bought washes and getting no results I’ve decided to take 
matters into my own hands.  
Yesterday I re-made a batch of milk and honey face cream for
both washing and moisturizing. This second attempt yielded a much
better consistency, the first separating and having a gummy feel was tossed
down the sink. 
This new batch is not quite right either. The powdered milk didn’t 
dissolve completely so next time I’ll try cooking it longer or mashing
it up first.
I feel like Crone at her cauldron.
An acne prone crone.
