Notes - friends


       Mid-afternoon, and you are having a Subway picnic, only this time it is at the far north lot at Pine Hill Lakes Park. The temperature is the mid-sixties with a gusty breeze now and then but you are on bottom of the east side of the hill, so protected. The grass is growing near the lot, the yellow flowers are out and the honeysuckle is almost fully leafed. Spring is here. – Amorella

       1515 hours. I have been cleaning the garage since late morning, and I’m still not done, but will be within another hour or so. Tim is going to mow this weekend. He wants to do our grass, etc. for another season and that is fine with us.

       Carol is reading the latest AARP magazine that arrived as you were leaving the house for the picnic. The wind just changed directions – now coming in from the north and much cooler. – Amorella

       You skipped supper for two regular Graeter’s cups of mint chocolate chip. You had a dollop of hot fudge on yours. You worked for another hour but still have part of the west side of the garage to clean up but it will be much easier to do, just sort eight or so baskets of odds and ends as well as a lower full length shelf of odds and ends. Tonight you watched ABC News, “NCIS.LA” and the first two episodes of “Doc Martin” since the CD’s arrived from Amazon today. Carol is upstairs reading and you are going up momentarily. - Amorella

       2218 hours. I don’t know why you want to include these trivial everyday events.

       One cannot neglect one’s own everyday life because the blog will not be more fully honest without it. – Amorella

       2231 hours. It means next to nothing, Amorella

       No, it means most everything to you because Carol is here sharing her life. You mean next to nothing to yourself, that is a separate issue. – Amorella

       2233 hours. Your words are sharp and surprising. I did not expect your quick response. You caught me. I cannot image life without Carol of course. We are friends.

       Friends is indeed the right word here, better than any other for two married people. Post. - Amorella
