I have returned from guarding the piano, accordion, three cats, treehouse, garden, fruit trees, badminton net, basketball hoop, a Wii, great Lego collection, movies ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan to Eddie Izzard, and maybe a thousand books. The man next door DID share his pool; he even dropped by twice to remind me to swim.
True to my word, I wore absolutely nothing worth photographing. In fact, I wore so little— desert summers are vicious— that I had to scramble desperately for clothes any time the doorbell rang. Color me shy.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jaunty has spent the past ten days helping Jean move from Arizona to Oregon. He’ll be home in New Mexico at 2 or 3 AM.
I am now sitting in my [dismally] humble apartment, suffering slight cat withdrawal and awaiting Mr. Jaunty’s return.
Consider yourself up-to-date on the endless roller coaster of thrill that is my life. If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to watch the dishes dry.
Summer.Yecch.
Just last evening we heard a car out here in the valley. When we realized it was not passing by but was actually pulling into our driveway our eyes met across the crowded room and we said to each other, “Wow. Silas! We’d better put some pants on!”
It is too hot out here in summer to wear a shirt and pants both….
in the winter we make up for it by wearing two of everything.
Glad you’re home.
Is it true a watched dish never dries?

PS. I folowed the linky thingy to Jean, since it was so nicely lit up, and from reading her blog I am now officially in love with your mother-in-love. She’s a pretty amazing person.

Ok, story done. You certainly are a difficult one to find.

Stitchywitchy – A watched dish is worth two in the bush. Jean IS pretty amazing. You should subscribe to her blog, leave her some encouraging comments. Blogging is lonely.
Fromme – Fromme! It’s true I try to stay Google-proof… but I can’t compare with our elusive Jessica Blankenship. How is your beautiful Violet?
