Which is sad because I took a picture of one of No Man Lord’s newest art installations today on my walk and was going to share it.
Sigh.
It’s a very large sign and in blue paint he has written “He Spoke to Me” and on the side, in case there is any doubt, “Jesus.”
I wish Jesus had spoken to me last Monday night and told me not to pick up the glass beside my MacBook so carelessly. That would have saved me a lot of anguish. However, Jesus does not speak to me and if he did I do not think he’d be speaking about such prosaic things but who knows?
Not me.
So. I have ordered a new MacBook from Apple because the one I want is sold out everywhere in Tallahassee. It will not even be shipped until at least July 24 but that’s the way it is. By the time it finally gets here I will be wishing I’d paid the extra $$$ to just get the next model up at Costco but yesterday was a frustrating day and all of my choices were not the best.
And here I am like a junkie without her junk making do with this little phone and a wonky blog app. If this doesn’t publish I might just lose my mind because I’ve written about five posts that never got posted and I am growing weary of this.
Still, all is really well here in Lloydville. It’s still hotter than devil’s balls but the mosquitoes seem to have slacked off a little bit. The beans are still coming in in vast quantities. I went out today to pick both them and field peas and it took me over an hour at which point I thought I might pass out. But I did not. The heat really is bad though. This morning Mr. Moon worked outside in the front yard and I took a walk and later, when he was getting ready to go finish up some things at Hank and Rachel’s duplex he said, “I’m already tired.”
“Me too!” I said and we both cracked up.
There is comfort in living with someone the same age as you. Life’s changes occur to both of you at approximately the same rate which is reassuring. I have nothing against May/December relationships but if I were a woman of my age married to a man twenty or even ten years younger I would probably feel even worse than I do now about the way my skin falls in flaps and folds, wrinkled and crepey. And I would probably constantly be trying to hide my forgetfulness and distractedness but instead, I can laugh ruefully with my partner as age has its way with both of us.
And yet- since we’ve known each other since we were young and smooth of skin and clear of eye and mind, we can still see that in each other underneath all the other stuff. At least I hope he can see that in me as I mostly certainly can see it of him.
Well. I did not plan to write an essay on aging and marriage and love but here we are.
The country continues to wallow in bizarreness as the presumed leader descends farther and farther into criminal and immoral and idiotic behavior. I commented again on a post on FB by my young friend because I couldn’t help it. She responded by saying that perhaps I should I should unfriend her and I did. I feel no remorse whatsoever. Simply a freeness. I don’t need that in my life and she does not need me in hers.
In better news a good friend of mine, a beautiful soul, got a scan yesterday as it was suspected that he might have a lethal form of cancer and as I was walking this morning he sent me a text that the scan came back clean and I could not be happier. I told him to “Eat all the foods, drink all the drinks and make all the love.”
I know he will and that makes me so happy. And that’s not bad advice for any of us.
I’ve got homemade egg rolls ready to go in the oven, Dottie and Dearie are still alive, and I can hear Liberace calling his ladies to roost.
I better end this and get to my end-of-the-day responsibilities.
Lord, I hope this gets posted.
Happy Friday, y’all.
Love...Ms. Moon
Yay!

DeleteSo happy to feel caught up with Moon world.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad!
DeleteMy hubby is ten years older and I’ll just say there is a huge difference between 59 and 69.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know it!

ReplyDeletewhat I meant to say. is , another day without Mary would be another day of just not good enough! So glad to hear your voice and take a walk to blue jesus with you.
DeleteBlue Jesus indeed. Thank you, Linda Sue.
Deleteso glad to *see* you. Funny how much technology has entwined itself in our lives....and it feels naked being without it. Photos or not.....you are alive and well and I'm SO happy!
ReplyDeleteSusan M
Well, without the photos I feel only half back but that is better than nothing at all.
DeleteI love this post and your sense of humor. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGregg is almost 17 years older than me...did you know that?...but we've always been just right for each other. But to each their own!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see you here, posting and okay. You're an essential part of my days and I worry when you disappear. Glad it's just technical problems!
I did not know that! I’m so glad you found each other, age be damned.
DeleteIf anything horrible happened to me one of my kids would probably let you know.
Mary Moon is back; all's well with the world.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....the world needs a great improvement, but Mary's back!
Well, I’m not doing a darn thing to improve the world in general but it’s nice to be able to report in from this tiny part of it.
DeleteWith or without photos, fine to have Ms Moon back with her news and beans.
ReplyDeleteAnd mostly news OF beans!
DeleteI love your reflection on marriage with an age cohort. Yes, we laugh ruefully too. There is a sweetness and a comfort for sure. So happy to see you back here. Love.
ReplyDeleteThank you, darling friend.
Delete45 is insane. No one around to notice my aging but the cat but he does not care. Good advice and continued health to your friend.
ReplyDeleteHe is insane by any definition. You are right.
DeleteOyes you're truly back. It's very welcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally!
DeleteGood to see you back. July 24th will be here before you know it. I'm glad to hear your friend's scan was good. You take care.xx
ReplyDeleteI was so happy when I got that text I reared right up. I am trying to be patient...
DeleteGlad to have you back and to catch up with the Moon doin's. Sending love and technical mojo your way. May all your issues resolve themselves. I'm off for an evening bike ride. x0x0 N2
ReplyDeleteThanks! I need all the tech mojo I can get!
DeleteHow hot are the devil's balls? Sounds like you know what you are talking about. I guess you must have dated Satan in your misspent youth.
ReplyDeleteI’ll never tell...
DeleteSorry about the tech issues. Those kind of screw ups always makes me think of the Longfellow poem...
ReplyDeleteThere was a little girl,
who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad, she was horrid.
Applies to inanimate objects like computers/appliances, too.
Absolutely!
DeleteMy favorite husband and I are only a year apart and I like it too. We share the same experiences and memories, even though we've only known each other nine years. My ex husband was eight years older than me and it felt like a generation.
ReplyDeleteYou're baking in the heat and we're drowning in the rain, although I just checked the weather is supposed to be nice next week now that my holiday week is over:)
It's so nice to hear/read your voice again. I missed you.
Stay safe my friend.
Glen and I are only a month apart! It’s nice. I’m glad you found your favorite husband!
Deleteposting on the phone is such a pain. still hot here though we did get about 20 minutes of very light rain which I was out in and it was so nice to be rained on though it wasn't even enough to get my clothes completely wet. glad you are back.
ReplyDeleteWe got a little bit of unexpected rain last night too. Not enough for me to even go out and turn the sprinkler off but it did cool things down.
DeleteWell, I'm glad your phone post worked! I would go crazy if I had to write blog posts on a phone for any length of time. I've done it here and there and that was enough. Bon courage!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me kind of sad when politics sunders friendships, even when they're not close ones. I'm not critical of your decision to unfriend your Trump-loving pal, but I kind of wish we could all go back to a time when talking politics was considered indiscreet. I think we all got along better!
I may lose whatever is left of the use of my left wrist before this is over but I shall persevere!
DeleteYou’re probably correct in that things would be more peaceable if we were more discreet about our politics but I’m afraid that ship has sailed.
Just like my “friendship” with that girl.
Oh dear Mary, what bad luck!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in hospital ages ago I posted on my phone and it took me the best part of the night which was actually great because sleep was not really an option then.
I love what you wrote about age and couples aging together. I admit that I have difficulties seeing my man being old (as in older than me and I am over 60), he is still the same guy.
I’m pretty fast at it. I will probably make more typos. Just the way of it. But where there’s a will, there’s a way.
DeleteIt’s hard to see anyone we love getting older, isn’t it?
