Just when you think it’s safe to begin forgetting about what started this whole traveling gig – SURPRISE!
I met with Joyce today and we looked through the few items she found, mostly pictures of her and Mary when they were little . Those fake colored rosy-cheeked pictures freak me out. I’m not sure why, but it makes me think of Little House on The Prairie. Anyway I got to se what Mary looked like as she entered her teen years. Let’s just say no matter how cute teenage girls may have been back then, their hairdo’s must’ve worked like chastity belts.
It was great putting a face to Mary, and she and Joyce look like they could’ve been sisters rather than cousins. After meeting with Joyce for about two hours, she casually mentioned that someone named Tom was coming to visit her tomorrow. WHAT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
She wasn’t, and apparently tomorrow I get to meet Mary’s son Tom. All that detective research work I’ve been doing is finally paying off. Yeah right. As you can probably imagine I’m as excited as a porcupine in balloon popping contest. I can’t believe, though that she told me almost en passant. I feel like such a pawn (Sorry – I couldn’t resist).
So sing away Annie “The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there’ll be Tom.”
I haven’t been able to fall asleep so I’m up hawking invisible internet beams outside the local library. I love libraries!
P. S. – Have you hugged your plant today. O Cactus!, My Cactus! OUCH!
peace.
