tired and sticky and exhausted i came home from the yard sale today with 22.50 in my pocket, 15 of which goes straight into martha's pocket--hooray for getting out of the red! it was long and fun and i was in good company but good lord was it hot
i took the best shower ever and then decided to do wash the patio furniture in the back, which turned into washing patio furniture, patio windows, walls and floor and then everything was so very clean! i was then all soapy and so i showered again with the hose this time, and there i was in my soaked canvas dock shoes and full clothing right in the middle of a summer camp memory flashback about canoeing. summer does that to me--eleven years of the best summer camp will do that to you--and so i got nostalgic happy/sad which is the best kind of sad there is i guess, because it's not really.
so i went around front and watered all of the new flowers and noticed that they were thriving and ready to bloom, which was great because i could have sworn that when i last looked my thumb had been black. so overcome with nostalgia/happiness/andpride in the new skill, i just decided to go across the street and sit on the curb to look at how wonderful the house looks all dolled up at sunset.
my neighbor and landlady came over to sit with me with her glass of wine, lighting up a new cigarette and we sat for half an hour and she told me all the gossip from our street from that morning before. (a domestic distubance, divorce underweigh across the street, (and the divorcing man likes college girls, nice) and he actually completely flashed her, her husband, and another police officer this morning with an ill-advised noise complaint fling open of the door and yell all while being nakes as a jaybird.) she also told me how proud she was of us that we actually like living where we do enough to do something positive about the space.
i sad/happily miss anyone and everyone that i have ever loved just because i want to share my good day with you
especially all of you internship people! christian and luke i know you are having the times of your lives in LA, i am so proud of you two for getting out there. live it up! and in the meantime give me and martha and lola your mailing addresses so that we can send you picture postcards of what is going on here at the ranch
loooove,
molly!
