Yesterday we went to see Peter’s sister Betty
for her birthday. Betty has some Health Challenges
we went there and celebrated
by discussing good movies on Turner Classics so many
great stars we love them still and then we walked home
stopping on the way for a drink to Betty:
Malbec for Peter I drank a better than you’d expect
Watermelon Margarita that comes in a can
friends of friends walked by said to watch
the Black Brit Steve McQueen movies on Amazon
we all agreed movies have assumed another importance
when we got home I asked Peter if he wanted to watch
Steve McQueen movies and he said
no. Another Crown. We sat on the couch
our life in straight lines now, discussing transition teams
and whether public schools would close
eating CVS salted cashews
knowing winter won’t last forever
Joe Biden will be President and probably be
a vaccine and the Georgia senate race will be over
and this world will be better by then.
One can only hope.
Happy Birthday Betty!
Thank you Esther for making some sense in a senseless world.
Better times ahead!
Hi Peggy, Yes better times ahead (!!!!) xxxx
Dear Esther, you have become part of my morning like coffee and how much sleep did I get, reflected on my Fitbit app. You are in NY and I am in CA – yet we watch and wait for the same things. You continue to inspire me to write the daily. Good Morning – joanell
