Lady bug. Look close.
I was first up this morning- it's EARLY for me!!!! and I made my way carefully down the steps- they are usually covered in ice from the melting roof snow- and then down the drive and across the road. My neighbor isn't home today- a grandchild is having a birthday and she had a newspaper on the driveway. And then to my own mailbox and newspaper. I got a package. From Gretchen. It felt like I was also having a "birthday".
Gretchen and I met....one evening, very late...as I was moving around the internet looking for something interesting. I found Gretchen. She had just come in from moving her Truck in New York City. Alternate Street Parking Night. She now lives in the country- I may have this all wrong- I don't exactly know......it sounds like rolling hills and green grass......Gretchen makes things. She is very very creative. I have her gifts pinned to the design wall in the sewing room and when they are "new" I have them on the long dresser across from the dining room table. So I can look at them.
She sent a "Tag Booklet" she made. Connie sent me one years ago. I use the cards to suggest topics for the blog when I am stuck.... the picture I sent myself of the booklet- hasn't traveled to my email as yet... so tomorrow. Thank You Gretchen.
I am reading a book that I think was selected...I can't remember how.....perhaps by that little icon at the bottom of the search page in the Library search engine. "if you liked...then you might like......"
Nora Goes Off Script. Annabel Monagahn. Nora writes rom coms for the "Romance Channel" and she has written a true story of the death of her marriage and it is being filmed as a real movie--not a rom com. The Movie people have arrived and driven over her lawn and parked and.....well she is irritated but her husband has left her and their two children and she has no money etc etc. The house needs gutters and the real estate tax bill is overdue.
The movie crew has come to film only scenes in the Tea House behind the house. Where Nora writes. The actor playing her husband in the movie is Leo. Leo has a Airstream parked on the front lawn but he prefers the porch swing and she finds him asleep wrapped in a down comforter. He wakes up and asks for coffee. Then comes into the house and sits down for breakfast with her and the two children. He goes to the grocery with her.
I try and imagine this in my own little Town. Very famous movie star- outrageously good looking- going to the grocery store with me.....Nora knows everyone- they know her. I think if this were to happen to me- it should be in one of the other Towns I lived in...not this one. Thought being followed around This Town by a movie star might be very very interesting.
