Well, it's sure been awhile.
Temporarily living with my Mom in the boondocks where you don't get cable and you certainly don't get high speed internet.
Our house is coming along. Visited it today and saw the new dining room and living room floors. Carpet to come upstairs. Reds is missing the old house and though she loves her Grandmom and Grandad, I am sure she will be much happier with her dog and her cat and her stuff back again. Hope to be moved before school starts.
It's been 13 years since I lived at home and here are a few of the things I forgot about:
The calls of the Whipporwills.
The peacefulness of the mundane. Washing dishes by hand, hanging the laundry out to dry.
Blowing on the stovetop to coax the flame out to cook.
Big bellowing dog that follows you around.
Enjoying a thunderstorm on the porch.
The sounds of the bullfrogs.
Walks through the trails in the woods.
And, the girls are surviving without the Disney channel and their multitudes of toys! How about that.
It sounds like a nice place to regroup, friend. Have been thinking of you, I'm glad to have the picture of you hanging clothes outside and listening to bullfrogs.
