Another Church

After all the brouhaha of yesterday's story of the sadist/foot fetishist nail technician, I forgot to even take a picture of my toenails. I have to say that the guy was very, very picky about the neat perfection of the polish itself. I chose a color that is completely unlike anything I've ever chosen before but it absolutely called to me for no discernible reason and I do like it very much. It is so glittery! I feel like I'm ready for the disco. 
Can you see my arthritically swollen toe knuckles? Luckily, they really don't bother me much. 
Feet look kind of weird, don't they? And yet, they are so precious and priceless in the lives of human beings. 

I was late getting up today and late doing everything that followed. My entire routine was a messed up but having nowhere I had to be and nothing I had to do, it did not matter. 

I went on another walk. This one was not quite as easy as the others I've taken this week. For one thing, I was cold for the first part of it and for another thing, it was pretty windy and when I was heading west towards the county line, the wind was working against me. The cold acted towards making me walk faster, which is not a bad thing, and the wind acted in making things harder. Which wasn't pleasing in the least. 
Oh well. 
I took another little side-road to photograph yet one more church. This one, too, is on Old Lloyd road, although not exactly as it is located on a very short road that comes off of Old Lloyd Road. That piece of road is called "Greater Elizabeth Road" and the name of the church is The Greater Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church, definitely NOT to be confused with the Baptist church whose picture I posted the other day. This church even has a sign at the turn in the road though, letting you know what lays ahead.

The sign must be broken because it's had the same message for at least six months. Come on, guys! Change it up! Pique our interest! 
Or not.

This, I believe, is the largest church for a mostly (all?) Black congregation in the Lloyd area. Or at least this Lloyd area. And it is beautifully maintained, as most of the other churches are, really. But it does look loved. 

It sits on a very large piece of property and across the little road from it, there's a small cemetery. 

I would happily spend eternity or however long it took my body to completely decompose, there. A very, very quiet and tree-framed space. 
Peaceful. No nearby traffic. No encroaching housing developments. Just earth and grass and trees. 

So I have now posted four different churches within a mile of my house. 
And yet, not one damn bar or juke joint. What I wouldn't give for a good juke joint. Sixteen years ago I wrote about juke joints and when I just reread this post, it brought so much back to me. 
I used to be a much better writer than I am now. 
I am still the hippie girl I wrote about, albeit, a much older hippie girl. Still, everything I said then, I still believe now. 

And I really have nothing more to say right now after rereading that post for the second time. 
Except for...you know.

Happy Friday, y'all. 

Love...Ms. Moon

Ellen's rose. Thank you, dear woman. 

Sometimes One Must Cry Over Spilt Milk

There are a few areas around here where it seems as if the sky is always doing something fantastically interesting. This is one of them. It's right near the Costco. I just happened to look up while I was at a stop light and that is what was happening.

I did go into town today. This involved one of my routine, thus safe trips, aka either grocery shopping, thrift shopping, going to lunch with family members, or getting a pedicure. With family members. 
Today was pedicure and lunch day. Lily had the day off and Jessie is working tonight and the time seemed right. I actually stopped at Lily's house, which is between Lloyd and most of the places we go in Tallahassee, and she drove us to the nail place. Actually we first went to a tire place to pick up Jessie as she was getting new tires. 
The reason I didn't drive Lily is because my car stunk to high heaven. I said "stunk" rather than "stinks" as I am being optimistic as to the super deep cleaning I gave it after I got home this afternoon. 
It's a long story involving a gallon of milk in one of my sturdy canvas bags that had been laid on its side and therefore leaked all the way home a few days ago. I thought the bag had contained it all so I washed that and cleaned off the milk jug and put it in the refrigerator because the jug itself had not leaked, just the lid. 
First lesson learned- do not put gallon jugs of milk on their sides in your car to transport. 
The next day I took my trash to the dump. I put the bags in my trunk, as I always do, and thought to myself, "What in the world did I put in one of those bags?" because the car stunk to high heaven. I didn't even think about the milk. 
However.
The next day when I got in the car and it still smelled like something rotten and vile, I knew there was more to the story. 
So I got to work, taking out everything in the trunk, smelling each item as I went, and then scrubbed the floor of the trunk (or hatchback area, whatever you call that), with Windex because The Car Guy, after about a billion years in the business swears that is the very best thing to remove odors from a car. There was a little latch place that of course I'd never noticed where milk had collected and it was all curdled and gross and it was not easy to get into all its little nooks and crannies but I tried. 
I told Glen about all of this and he said, "Well, honey, the milk no doubt dripped into the space below that floor through the latch and you have to clean that too." 
Sigh.
That was yesterday and I had not gotten around to cleaning the underspace (there's an underspace?) so my car still reeked. REEKED! 
Which is why Lily drove us to get the pedicures and to lunch. 
Of course I had a bizarre experience in the nail place with the guy who did my toes because I attract strange people who act in bizarre ways and I'm not the only one who thinks this. Lily and Jessie agree that this is true. I didn't even tell y'all about the woman in TJ Maxx who almost forced me to try on her seven-year old Birkenstocks to see how comfortable they were. And I did try them on, believe it or not.
Anyway, this guy was part sadist and part comedian wanna-be. I will not go into details but I will tell you that at one point Jessie told him to stop doing what he was doing in no uncertain terms and he did. 
Okay. What he was doing was tickling the arch of my foot because he discovered it was very ticklish to me. I thought I was giving him the cease and desist order just by my cries of discomfort but no, obviously, I wasn't, so Jessie stepped in and used her firm and serious voice. How did I raise such strong children? I do not know but I am in awe of them.

Then we went to lunch where Lauren met us. She had to be at work at four this morning to do inventory but was off work by lunch time. Hurray! We had a good time and as always, Lily made me laugh so hard I almost choked. No. I will not repeat what she said that made me laugh like that. 
Here's what we looked like after we ate.

Look at us girls! 

When I got home, I pulled everything back out of the trunk of my car and lo and behold, here's what's under that false bottom.

I mean, I sort of knew that there was something down there in that mysterious and unexplored place to do with the tools needed to deal with a flat tire but I sort of just figured it was one of those toy tires and a jack. And a lug-nut wrench. 
Well, I'd actually forgotten about the jack and the lug-nut wrench. 
How privileged am I? 
It would appear that there is an entire mechanic's shop of things necessary to temporarily inflate a flat tire and for all I know, there's a whole other tire beneath all of that stuff. 
But I got out the Windex and the vinegar and Fabuloso and rags and paper towels and Q-Tips and bottle brushes and everything I could think of that I'd need to get into all those spaces. Some of them you can't see and yes, they too had curdled milk in the teeny-tiny cracks and holes of their structures.
So. I have done the best I can for now and I am hoping that tomorrow when I open my car, it will smell of Windex, Fabuloso, and vinegar and the odor of eau de sour milk will have disappeared. I have washed all of the bags. I have hosed down the umbrella and chair that were stored in there. And that would be a beach umbrella, not a regular it's-raining-umbrella. They are outside in the open air right now. I have the false floor of the trunk propped open and let us keep our fingers crossed. I've been driving around with the back windows open which has been fine but as the temperatures are about to drop dramatically tomorrow, that's not really going to be much of an option. 

Mr. Moon is in a deer stand over on Tom's property in hopes of catching a deer. I have a tiny feeling he may actually get one this evening although I have no idea why. If he does, though, he's going to be very late for supper. When you get a deer, you have to do all sorts of stuff to get it ready to put on ice before it can be turned into venison. Stuff that I do not want to contemplate because I am a big old hypocrite. 
Meanwhile, I believe I will go cook some chicken thighs. 
Again- the hypocrisy overwhelms me. And yet, I somehow manage to deal with it. 

If you have managed to get all the way to this point in tonight's post, I salute you and, at the same time, have no idea why. 
But thank you. 

Love...Ms. Moon

P.S. Mr. Moon is home and no, he did not catch a deer tonight. As always, my feelings are mixed but he doesn't seem to be too upset. Or, upset at all. I often think that just being quiet in the woods at dusk is what he really enjoys. 
He does, however, really like a nice venison tenderloin, wrapped in bacon. 
As do I.

I Ain't Right But I'm Okay And Also, Isn't Gibson Handsome?

Gibson was slated to be in the Veteran's Day parade in downtown Tallahassee today with the marching band he's in at his school. Glen and I had planned to go but as the morning progressed, I got more and more anxious to the point that I simply could not make myself get dressed and get in the car. 
And I fucking felt like a terrible grandmother and a ridiculous person and a wimp and an asshole and just a rotten excuse for a human being. I knew damn well that if I went I would be so glad I had and that it wouldn't be a thing at all, just...get in the car, let Glen drive us to town, find Lily and Maggie and watch the parade. 
Nothing in this world to be anxious about. 
And knowing that did nothing for me except to make me feel worse because obviously, I am not right. In the sense of "She ain't right," which is what we sometimes say around here when we're talking about someone whose mind is simply, well, not right. 
Lily understood. She's the same way but Gibson is her son and just like I attended all the things when my kids were growing up, she sucks it up and attends all the things for her kids. 
This is not just a matter of, "Oh dear god, I do not want to get dressed and deal with traffic today." It's a completely different thing and if you understand this on a personal level, I wish you didn't because it sucks, and it limits life, and you can't help but feel that if you just pulled up your big girl panties and laced up your boots and put on some lipstick and walked out the door, you could simply do it and yet, some days you cannot. 
My husband went though. He represented us. Bless him. Is there anything that he's afraid of? He's not afraid of bears in the woods or being with a friend who is dying or taking on projects that seem impossible and he's not afraid of my problems, either. He knows me, he loves me. He accepts me for who I am and never says "Jesus, woman! Just put on a bra and let's go!" 
Well, he would never tell me to put on a bra but you know what I mean. 

I am still ashamed, though. I cannot lie.

**************

This, too, is a church near me. In fact, just about two blocks away or, as I always say, it would be two blocks if Lloyd had blocks which we do not. 
This church is a bit different than the others I've posted here. That's because this is the WHITE PEOPLE church. It's a Baptist church. Of course there are no laws or rules about which churches are for which communities but come on. I think you can tell. 
This church is as big as some elementary schools. 

And it looks like one too. 

I changed up my walk a little bit today by including what I so humorously call "downtown Lloyd." 
Again. If Lloyd had a downtown, I guess this area would be it. I'm finding it funny and odd that I have no problem at all walking the (admittedly short) distances I used to walk. Now. Could I walk the hilly routes and longer distances I did ten years ago? 
Not on your life. 
I'm not walking them as fast. Yet. But it's not a big deal. 

There's a little piece of road that borders my across-the-street neighbor's houses called Notre Dame which cracks me up. 
"Notre Dame" and "Lloyd" are not two names I would ever imagine in the same sentence. Sometimes, for a bit of extra distance, I walk it and back (it's a dead-end road) and there's an old house I am fascinated by. 

I've shared pictures of this house before. 

This is the kind of house that back in the day when I was a young hippie looking to move to the country and get back to the land would have had my heart racing with desire. Hell, I still feel an attraction to it. A pull.
Someone was living here up until a year or so ago but since they moved out, the house has taken on that sad, neglected look that abandoned houses take on. 

Look at this tree.

You can see it to the left of the house in the first photo of it.

I see that Scott Colom has defeated Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith to become the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since 1881. 
DAMN, Mississippi, you did it! 
I don't even have words. But I do have some tears. This is so incredibly amazing and wonderful. Is it possible that Trump has actually made America greater again? 
I suppose that we might say that for him, things have not gone according to plan. 

Hallelujah. 

Love...Ms. Moon

P.S. Mr. Moon took a very nice video of Gibson in the parade today. You can find that HERE.
I am so proud of him. We all are. I think he has truly found a place in marching band. I did not see that coming but life is full of surprises, some of them far better than anything we could have dreamed up on our own. 

Love...Ms. Moon

More Lloyd Stuff

So here's another church on my basic walk road. This is the Lloyd Church of God in Christ church. They keep a very tidy church yard, don't they? And the church itself is obviously well maintained. There are SO many churches on Old Lloyd Road, the road on which I live. I keep meaning to count all of them between where Old Lloyd Road begins to the west of here and my house but I always lose count. There are a lot. 
I think that The Holy Ghost Revival Center, the name of the church next door to me, has the coolest name though. So many interesting concepts in those few words. 

I took another little walk today.

Woo-hoo.

Seriously, that's how I feel about it. I was talking to Mr. Moon last night about how I could already feel my joints and muscles giving me shit and how depressing that is. He said something about biking instead of walking and I did bike for awhile about twenty years ago when one of my knees went out. I had the biggest piece of crap bike you ever saw. I think it may have come from the dump. Whatever. It worked. I rode it up Lloyd Creek Road and I worked myself up to covering what I consider to be an adequate number of miles on that bike. It was an interesting route with woods, farms, and a few little communities set apart from each other. There was very little traffic on it. There were a couple of fairly serious hills though and I hated them. Truly. Hated. Them.
So I joked last night to Glen that if I did start biking again, I'd want an e-bike and I realized that's not a joke. If I had an e-bike, I could deal with the hills. And it's always fun to go on longer jaunts.
Glen was not adverse to the idea. And I've thought about it several times today. There are, however, several downsides to this plan. 
One is that although biking is a good cardio-vascular work-out, it's no good at all as the weight-bearing activity we need to prevent osteoporosis. The very thing about it which would make more sense for me as it is so much easier on joints with its lack of impact on the bones, causes it to suck at being weight-bearing. 
Another thing I worry about is- will I actually do enough pedaling or will I be hitting the throttle button too often? I just looked up how any of this works and it turns out that the bike can measure how hard you are pedaling and will assist (not replace) in providing a steady boost. 
I will be pondering this. I need to talk to Vergil because he is the family biking authority. 

Meanwhile, here's a picture of the sasanqua camellias growing in a neighbor's yard.

I love the carpet of pink the blossoms leave on the sidewalk. This is the neighbor I ran into in Publix the other day. The one whose husband recently died. I think she's in the hospital herself right now. Yesterday we saw an ambulance doing a U-turn in the church parking lot next door in order to head west, which is the direction the hospital is in. The siren was not on and I really don't think she's, well, dead, so perhaps it wasn't anything dire. 
But who knows? 

I walked back past our house, heading west for just a tiny bit and did a window-peeking survey of the Still Waters Farm Store. I window-peeked because it's not open. I'm not sure I've ever seen it open. The "Now Open" signs that were put up on both ends of it have disappeared and the closed sign is on the door. The cooler where the goat's milk and cheese or whatever-it-was-in-there is empty. The shelves were hard to see but they looked mighty bare. I saw a few plants which, if not attended to soon, are going to be dead. 
So much for one more person thinking that any business in that tiny, old cement block building is going to thrive, faith-based or not. 
Maybe a crack store? 
And in that same vein, here's a now picture of what used to be Mr. Lawrence's store before he got ill and sold it. 

Fifty years ago and more, this was a busy convenience/gas store. There never was enough parking but people figured it out. Mr. Lawrence was a very, very fine gentleman who, when I moved to Lloyd 22 years ago, was barely hanging on, selling ice, beer, chips, Vienna sausages, candy, and things of that nature. The gas station aspect had been discontinued many years before. 
But a few years ago, somebody bought that place. It IS on a very busy corner but there ain't a lot of people stopping in Lloyd for any reason whatsoever. And whoever bought Mr. Lawrence's store never did a damn thing with it at all. Besides the obvious problems associated with it, there is no parking. The lot is tiny. And it has fallen into complete disrepair. The county has asked them repeatedly to do something about the building as it is now a dangerous nuisance. There is broken glass and the door is ripped off and it's just a mess. 
However, the county has now condemned the building and will tear it down. 
It is time. I can hardly imagine what that corner will look like without Mr. Lawrence's store on it, even in the state it's in. Do you see the oak trees behind it? One of those is the giant, magnificent oak I wrote about a few weeks ago which is in the yard of my next-door neighbor to the west of me. I will be so glad when that tree is what the eye goes to when people stop at the flashing red/caution sign there. 

Well, Mr. Moon has taken Levon to a VERY IMPORTANT FSU basketball game. I don't know who's happier, the nine-year old or his grandfather. 

Here are a few of my own sasanqua camellias. I don't steal other people's flowers. 
Well, almost never.

Love...Ms. Moon

On This Day In History

And that is the birthday letter August wrote to Levon and gave to him this morning. 
It almost broke me. What eleven-year old writes, or even thinks about characteristics like these in his younger brother? And he's not wrong. Levon is all those things but as Glen and I agreed this morning, the letter said even more about August than it did Levon. It has always seemed to me that the two boys have a remarkable relationship. They generally get along very well. If they fight, I've never seen them although I imagine they have had their disagreements. I can't even really imagine one of them saying, "But it's not FAIR!" about the other one. Again, perhaps they do, but mostly they enjoy being around each other, they talk, they discuss things, they support each other. When they're together for a picture they generally have their arms around each other. 
They are friends. Good friends. 
They do indeed love each other. 
And my Lord, they are sweet. 

As always on either my own children's birthdays or on my grandchildren's birthdays, I think of the days they were born. With each child there was a different story, a different setting, a different sort of labor. And I remember them all as the best days of my entire life. 
If you want Levon's birth story, you can go HERE. 
For those of you who are NOT huge birth story fans, here are a few pictures of that sweetest of days.

Just barely born. 

I think that last one says it all, don't you? I could look at that picture for hours.

A thing we do in this family is to wish the birthday person Happy Birthday and the mama, Happy Birth Day. I think that the person who gave birth is not as recognized as she should be and I will be honest with you- there were times when I was rushing and working so hard to get one of my children's birthday celebrations together with the food and the decorations and the presents, I would think, "Hold on. I went through labor and still have to do all this?"
As we all know by now, parties, whether I am going to them or throwing them, are not my favorite things. 
But we do what we must do and our babies have to have birthday parties. Even if they mostly consist of blankets on the ground for kids to sit on, grilled hot dogs, and the ultimate treat of JUICY JUICE! 
And of course a homemade cake with ice cream. 
My children seem to have survived the lack of bouncy houses and pony rides at their parties. Thank goodness. 

And if all of that were not enough, today is also the second anniversary of Hank and Rachel's wedding. Dang. And if you weren't around for that, please go HERE to get a little of the joy that day was. 
For the second part of that story, you can visit HERE.

Here's the first dance. 

Update: They're still so very much in love. 
Happy anniversary, Hank and Rachel! 

Lots of links here today and that's because there are lots of memories of two of the most important days in our family's history. 

And for me today- well, I took a walk which was the first walk I've taken since the last time I took a real walk. I have been debating the benefits of these walks, ranging from "they're good for me" to "I get to see things I would never see otherwise," versus what I know is going to happen which is that my joints and hips, especially, are going to be screaming at me all day every day and quite possibly the kidney stone situation will rear its demonic head as walking, without a doubt, jostles those things around. 

Well, fuck. I'm going to try. 

The Jefferson County, Leon County line is almost exactly one mile from my house.

The church next door to us. The oak tree behind it is on our property though. It's a very odd shaped lot. 

Beauty berries, of course. 

I also did some work in the garden, fertilizing, doing a small bit of weeding, and planting more greens seeds in grow bags. These were the seeds at the bottom of a plastic baggie I'd put my seed packets in and so these will be a surprise. Collards? Mustards? Turnips? Kale? I need to plant more lettuces because the mixed lettuce seeds I planted have produced exactly four plants. 
Four. 
As always, the arugula is thriving. The basils are still having at it and I noticed there was an abundance of bees around their buds today. So overall, I guess we're okay. The marigolds sure are having a fall festival. 

You can bet I'm not pulling those up until I get the message they're done. Since our temperatures are supposed to get down into the upper thirties this weekend, they may decide that the dance is over for this year. 
I'm going to die of cold. 

All right. Off to make a salad with arugula and basil in it. 
And by the way- that pumpkin bread was decadent. 
Moan-worthy. Better-than-cake. 
Let's hear it for Seminole pumpkins. 

Love...Ms. Moon

A Cozy, Loving Day

So that was the picture I was going to post last night because tradition says that when there is a sleep-over, there must be a picture of the supper and then another from the pancake breakfast the next day. As you can see, August was feeling it. His mother being there only added to the excitement. She came out to get the boys a little early because she had an action-packed day and had things to do and places to be. 
Mr. Moon was dressed in his going-to-hospice clothes, ready to leave as soon as breakfast was over, which he did, of course. 
He has been okay today. Emotional. Tender. 
"What's the name of that Grateful Dead Song?" he asked me last night. 
"What a Long, Strange Trip it's Been."
Yep.
It's still so hard for him to imagine that Alan got so sick so quickly. He keeps saying, "We'd just been out fishing two days before!" 
And that's part of the shock of it all. And then it took so long for him to get a diagnosis and for weeks and weeks it seemed the doctors held out hope that he would come out of the unconsciousness, he would have a chance at recovery. There was the trip to Shands. And then back to Tallahassee. And finally, when he was moved to the long-term care place the message was received that no, there really was not much hope at all for recovery. One doctor said, "I've never seen so many lesions on a brain." 
And at last, to hospice where he was able to go on. 
Y'all have heard this story and I thank you so much for all the comments you left yesterday and today. In a way, you were there with us, with Glen, as he did what he felt he needed to do so thank you for that, too. So does Glen.

Today was slow and easy. I had a slightly unfamiliar emotion this morning when I got up and came out to my porch. Every morning, I remember to look up at the sky and the way the leaves look against it, the branches becoming barer but this morning I had a small thrill right before I did actually look up. It was like I was about to get a surprise, a new sight of a new day that I had never been seen before, even if it looked exactly like hundreds I've seen before.
I think it is true that as we grow older and closer to the end of our little dance on this earth, smaller and smaller things take on greater and greater meaning and can bring us a type of authentic joy we may have rarely felt before. 
I wish I could explain things better. 
I know that tears come even easier to me than ever and that's saying a lot. Glen's been pretty free with his emotions too. I asked him this morning if he was okay and he said that yes, he was. That after something like this we need to just keep rolling on with it and remember to show love to those we love. 
And then he went out and put a new water pump on the tractor. 
I've been cooking pinto beans all day and their liquid is thickening into gravy right now. I've got a little piece of smoked turkey wing in with them, some salt, some pepper, and that's all. Some things don't need a lot of different flavors and in fact, some foods' flavors are so damn good on their own that adding spices and whatevers simply takes away from the perfection they are on their own. 
I roasted two of my Seminole pumpkins and scooped out the sweet, orange, tender flesh. I'm about to go make pumpkin bread and I'm excited about that. 
As always, I go to the kitchen when I need comfort, routine, and a way to show love. 
I sewed up a seam in a pair of Glen's camo pants. He ripped them last week, climbing up into a deer stand. That was an easy fix as no patches were needed, just some stitching. As I sewed, I gave part of my attention to a forty-minute video in a series called "One Born Every Minute" which takes place in Great Britain on a delivery ward where midwives deliver the babies. It's not scripted or fiction. It's real footage of real women who are doing what women do all over the world, have done throughout history, and are doing as we speak. I have been fascinated with birth and in love with the process and the strength and power of women as they bring life into this world for over fifty years now. I never grow tired of a birth story. 
Not unlike each new day, every one of them similar in so many ways, every one of them unique. 

I am droning on, aren't I? I'm sorry. I should go make my pumpkin bread anyway. 

*****************

Pumpkin bread in the oven. I actually used a recipe I love from the NYT's app for banana bread with cinnamon crunch topping, substituting pumpkin for bananas. I've unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned up everything I used in the making of the pumpkin bread, and had conversations with my husband. 

And now I need to make a vegetable. 
Sigh. 
I just told Glen that of course, I cannot make a vegetable. I can grow a vegetable, I can buy a vegetable, I can cook a vegetable, I can eat a vegetable. But I cannot make one. 

And before we part, if you haven't been following the comments on my post found HERE, you might want to go check them out. The ones I'm talking about begin with Judy. Whom both Hank and I thought was a bot but she does seem to have a genuine presence on Blogger. Although not a blog. 
When I read Hank's original response to her first comment, I laughed so hard. His next response cracked me up too. 
Oh gosh. I love my kids. The apples have not fallen far from the tree and are, in fact, far less tolerant of bullshit than I am. 
I am so proud to be his mama. 

Please forgive me for this extremely rambling, bumbling post. 

Love...Ms. Moon

Peace

Glen just heard from Alan's wife. Alan has taken his last breath. 

It is such a difficult thing to take in, I believe, even when you've been aware that someone you love has been on the path leading to this for quite a long time, whether days or weeks, months or years. It is still a puzzlement. The reality of it is so unfathomable in its way. So final. 

I had written an entire post when he got this news and I have deleted it all although of course, a death does not erase life, whether that involves pancakes and grandchildren and cats or hugs. 
It is just part of it all. Where there is life, there will be eventually death. 
Until then, let's try our best to live that life in love. 

Yours truly, in love...Ms. Moon
