Mid-morning. You and Carol just returned
from your walk this time at Rose Hill Cemetery because Carol is uncomfortable
walking in the more crowded fairway of a Saturday morning. You got your mile
though it was ‘stiffer in the hips’ because of the cool forty-degree
temperature, that and having only one stop to sit and it was on a cold granite
memorial bench. Carol is talking to Gayle on the phone. Kim and Paul are near
Waverly, Georgia (on their way to Orlando) according to your iPhone ‘Find
Friends’ app. – Amorella
1021 hours. ‘Click and Clack’, the Tappet
Brothers, were not in the paper today, very irritating. Older brother, Tom Magiliozzi
died about a year ago, but Ray has carried on with the column. The PBS ‘Car
Talk’ was a wonderful show featured by the two well-educated Boston college
professors/auto mechanics.
Mid-afternoon. You had a late lunch/early dinner
at Longhorn’s and are at Kroger’s on Tylersville for Vitamin D tablets for you and
large dark chocolate Hershey bars for Carol. Then you are going to the park so
you can write and she can read her book. An hour or so ago Kim, Paul and the
boys were passed St. Augustine. Orlando can’t be too far away. – Amorella
1553 hours. They ought to really be
surprised. They have never been to an amusement park as far as we know,
certainly nothing like Ohio’s own Cedar Point or King’s Island let alone Disney
World. We took Kim and her cousin Sharon to Disney World seven or eight times
as they were growing up (as we were all down at Mom and Dad’s during part of
the summer). DW was about an hour and a half from their house so we never had
to stay over. I’m sure that has all changed. In the early eighties you could
venture the park in a day, riding most of the kids’ rides. We would stay from
opening until after the fireworks at nine and were home by eleven. We went once
almost every summer, once in a while during Spring Break. I need to get out
chapter eleven and see where we are.
You are at Pine Hill Lakes Park, far north
lot with the windows cracked just a bit as it is 51 degrees. Carol is working
on the checkbook; you are working on the chapter eleven preliminaries. -
Amorella
1645
hours. I need a chapter theme word.
How about ‘hole in the bucket’? – Amorella
1649 hours. If we can make it work.
Why not? We can change it if need be, but “There’s
a hole in the bucket, Dear Lisa, Dear Lisa”. - Amorella
Carol
is on page 25 of Baldacci’s The Whole Truth. – Carol just left for a
short walk and you saw that Kim arrived at their hotel. You called to say
hello. She said they had just arrived and are meeting Bill and Linda for
supper. They have everything from Mary Lou’s for Linda except for the vases,
which you are bringing down to Linda’s in two weeks. Relax, orndorff. –
Amorella
1718 hours. I couldn’t wait to call. –
She called back just as Carol returned to the car so that worked out well. The
boys were fine on the two-day trip. The plane is expense with four seat
tickets. Glad Kim bought her Honda Odyssey, perfect for the four. Carol is at
Kroger’s on Kings Mill buying milk. We don’t want to go out again because the
community gathering is on our street tonight. We declined their invitation this
time.
You watched NBC News, “The Blacklist”, “Castle”
and “Blue Bloods” tonight. Carol went upstairs to read. You are checking email
shortly. - Amorella
2214 hours. It’s Saturday night. I’m
looking at the four files to work on for this chapter. It would probably be
easier to begin with Pouch – 11 since we just completed Pouch – 10 for
continuities’ sake.
That sounds reasonable. You might find a
paragraph or so you can use in the 7790 words for the segment. – Amorella
2221 hours. If I can find a paragraph
or so I will still need at least 700 more words. It is fun though because I
cannot remember anything about the segment from the Merlyn’s Mind trilogy. Maybe
there is something in the old piece I can adapt to the new much leaner Pouch.
