Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth

Didn't that music fit just perfectly? I loved the last pages the most, that beach cabin must be wonderful. Carkeek park is my favorite in Seattle...I could go there every day.
ReplyDeleteI loved that music! And yes, the beach cabin is magical and I miss it horribly. I'm hopeful we can sneak over there sometime this month. It's in Kingston.... Carkeek park is one of amy all time favorites as well.
ReplyDeleteI always love your stories but the one about the school job is my fav so far, lol
