Oh Lord. I am going to have to live on quinoa and zucchini for the next three months to make up for the eating I've been doing down here.
That is breakfast. Bacon and French Toast.
On a Wednesday.
And last night I ate lobster with crab meat stuffing.
And I am still kicking myself black and blue because I did not take the camera when we went to dine. The restaurant was an old one on the river and it had more Halloween decorating going on than I have ever seen in my life. There must have been easily ten thousand dollars worth of monsters in that place and it was AWESOME! The lights alone were terrific. And I'm not usually a Halloween person but last night I was.
Anyway, about three this morning a fisherman crawled into bed with me.
"Did you catch a fish?" I asked him.
"Not one damn fish," he said.
Well. I let him into bed anyway.
So now we're up and about to have our breakfast and then we're going to paddle on the river.
I'm excited.
I actually am.
I'm here in this beautiful little turquoise and pink cottage and we're going to eat outside by the hibiscus and the coffee is strong and it's a beautiful day and my heart is feeling at peace again. I knew it would happen.
And guess what? They sell fish by the BOATLOADS down on the river road.
And crab, too.
I'm cooking dinner tonight. There won't be any monsters but I hear that the World Series is on.
Works for me.
I'll report in later.
Wish us manatees.
Love...Ms. Moon
What a stunning sunset photo...
ReplyDeleteYes, I wish manateees for you and Mr. Moon ~ have a glorious day on the river!
I've been following your journey and I have to tell you that you are one fucking amazing human bean.
ReplyDeleteWhen you watch most humans, they seem to be mostly blissfully unaware and untroubled by anything except when they get in a car wreck, or they are miserable shits who never climb out of their own stink.
You are fun because you take us back and forth between the two poles, without ever veering so far in one direction or the other that we get sick of listening to you.
We love listening to you.
I applaud you. You make me feel better about our chances as a species.
The other thing that is remarkable is that you have standards, no bullshit standards, and whereas most people have standards to hold other people accountable, you seem to hold them mainly to enforce them on yourself.
How 'bout that.

Lulumarie- Can't beat a sunset over water, can you? Best time of the day.
ReplyDeleteTearful- Well, if I could be blissfully unaware for about fifteen minutes of my life I would be extremely delighted. Sadly, I don't think you get to choose.
Happily, you choose to come over here and listen to my wildly varying take on life from one moment to the next. Which does delight me.
Thanks.
I wish you manatees... glad the light is shining for you this morning.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop by and say hello. It was nice to smell the bacon. Sorry I have been away.

Romantic day! So glad you're feeling better. x
ReplyDeleteGlad you are at peace again.
ReplyDeleteHarley and I will be minding the hens and Elvis tomorrow evening. Harley is wondering why we are borrowing your chickens! He's so funny.
Sorry about that weird Yahoo email. I am now locked out of that account. sigh. Long story.
Wishing you manatees and whatever else you wish for.

Such a sunset you photographed! And when on vacation you are entitled to splurge on good food, because the tummy needs a break as well.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mr. Moon didn't catch any fish but I am sure you will find something tasty at the docks.
So glad you are both having a fine time!
Sweet--lots of times it is just the act of fishing that is peaceful. The fish can rest easy.
