Church was starting 25 minutes early today and it was Blood Pressure Clinic day and a Pumpkin Contest, and the remnants of the pork dinner sale. I set the alarm for plenty of time but 5 snooze button minutes later I finally dragged myself out of bed to - no water pressure - so much for a Sunday Morning Shower. FB told me it was village wide so I did a spit and polish and high tailed it north - without a button or my cel phone.
I scurried home 3 hours later. There was a text waiting saying that the tenant was coming a day early - ok??? 45 pounds of dog hair later, I made the bed with fresh linens, swabbed the deck in the powder room and took a quick pre shopping inventory for the menu for Ghouls Day.
At 1 o'clock I was going to sit with a new widow and let her weep . Weeping can be good. Especially if someone is witnessing your pain and willing to let laughter bubble up in the middle of tears. I took a strong cup of coffee and a handkerchief with me . No button, but the critical supplies. It was a good visit. FOr both of us I think.
Back home for more furious cleaning then I decided to swing by the farm where the granddarlings were doing an impromtu pumpkin carving blitz before I headed north for my Sunday Evening visit with my mom. 45 minutes into the trip I realized that still, no button no cel phone.
After a visit with Mom, a great piece of Stuffed Crust Pizza thanks to my nephew Philip, my day was finally drawing to a close. I sat at the computer table and noticed the button jar. For fun, I reached in and pulled one out. it is a Cherokee shirt button. Gray Green Sturdy. Well, button, this is the story of your day. Night now.
