On the road again......<3

[beth_laham]

My folks are tearing up walls and storming upstairs and cursing because the house is going on the market tomorrow and they want it to sell quick. I woke up this morning groggy, hot, and alone in Tampa. Something told me Id be on the road forever and that pretty misconception really made the summer feel fine. But you know, being home in a hosue cuckoo for realestate isnt feeling so fun and I wish I could go back but keep on going like we kept talking about. BUT I AM going across seas with one of my very top fave friends so I wont get too grumpster about it. By the sounds of a few phone calls made late late last night, there was quite the party in Sarasota last night? I was a few hours off but I woulda been too pooped anyway. If any of this semi-angst has been misleading, I had the best time on the road the past week. Oklahoma was amazing! We stayed outta the cities for the most part (except the bustlin Henrietta) and I remembered that game we played with Coleen in New York this past summer...about telling our ideal versions of heaven...and I thought back on mine and realized it was what I was standing in. We saw bunnies and picked up orange skinned turtles and watched funny little skunks and threw rocks and slept in windy tents and made pots of beans and corn and noodles in the forest. On the beach in Alabama that had the brightest sand and the scariest water, we woke up to a tornado just a small jog away. It roared and roared. It spun into an arch above us (i'll try and post photos sometime) and I looked over and saw the base which was a small and steady storm spinning silver fish and sand and water in circles so close to us. Its funny that we were only scared for a moment and we only moved to get a better look. The next night we stayed at this site buzzing with fireflies. The blinked on and off all night and made the dark feel more like a dance than anything.
We slept really well. I'll write more later but ma is calling for help upstairs.
love,
