Dear Son,

I paid your ticket today.

You’re welcome.

And I’m keeping your change.

I always enjoy a trip to the local constabulary, particularly when it is DeKalb County. The Flora and Fauna always entertain. Especially the Fauna.

I wonder when I ceased to be shocked by anything.  Still, it’s probably a good thing that I maintained an air of aloof disinterest when the enormous woman beside me pulled $600 in small bills out of her bra. I have to give credit to the male clerk who accepted the damp wad and calmly counted and made change.

I suppose we all have gifts.

Sincerely,

Your Loving Mother

P.S. Keep your nose clean. And go to church.

5 things I like

1. Stone Mountain yellow daisies on the side of the road (the festival is coming up!)

2. hot chocolate

3. sunshine!

4. rain!!

5. hugs

before and after

Usually the before pictures are scary, and the after pictures show marked improvement.

That’s the case, here, too. I wouldn’t trade the last 25 years for a firm butt and the opportunity to wear (unselfconsciously) a sleeveless blouse. I used to drink cheap wine, too.

There’s something to be said for a mature palate.

Happy Anniversary, mi amor.
