So I'm all packed. Coffeed-up. Wearing a hat. Mr. Moon is dealing with the boat we're borrowing. It's pretty small. It's called The Winky II which makes me feel as if Mr. Moon should be wearing a clown outfit when he drives it. Don't you think?
Lily just called. Owen either has allergies or he's getting a cold. He can talk on the phone now which breaks my heart.
"Hey, Owen! It's grandmother!"
"Meir-Meir!" he says. "Ah yah!"
Ah yah means I love you.
How can I not see him for all these days in a row?
Oh my.
Well, I think the Winky II is about ready to roll.
Shit. I look like a clown anyway. Overalls are so nautical, especially paired with a gimme hat from Jessie's old high school and very short red braids. I look like Pippi Longstocking's mother.
Okay. Here's what I wanted to say:
I LOVE YOU! AH-YAH!
See you Sunday.
M
Ah yah!
ReplyDeleteM. King- Ay-yah to you too.
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteGo forth and have a nice time.
I love you, too! Winky sounds like the name a small child would give his penis. My winky hurts. Jesus H. Is there no humiliation that poor Mr. Moon must endure, on top of the fucking fact that his goddamn boat motor crapped out?
ReplyDeleteThe Winky II?! ha! I'd ride in it.
ReplyDeleteThe Winky II and these comments are cracking me up this morning. Have a good time and hurry back!
ReplyDeleteAh Yah with a big Mwah kiss. Bon voyage! We'll miss you too. Lots and lots. Have fun, rest and sweet dreams.
ReplyDeletexxoo
ps mr. winky is our family name for little boy penises. Too funny :)
Have a very fine time away...we too will leave tomorrow for some needed time away.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ah yah back to you!
and my word verifcation: blessill
I'm headed to New Mexico! (never been but it is for a work meeting). But I could do without the 3-hour plane trip. I'd rather travel on the Gulf on Mr. Winky II. See you later!

I am in awe of your words....."How Can You Miss Me If I Won't Go Away?".....so funny....brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to read some of that Gerald Durrell book and, lastly, ..........
Ah yah!

Aawww Ms Moon.....have fun. AND I just can't believe how much your little guy is growing up~
ReplyDeleteThinking of you on your scarybuthopefullyfun trip! Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time on Winky II, and I love the pic of Owen taking a sip. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeletePS. I always whinge when I go away but then end up really enjoying myself and feeling like a big kid xx
ReplyDeleteCan we get a picture of the pair of you in clown suits in Winky II?
ReplyDeleteAh yah! Dear Ms Moon xx
Ah! Love you too. Hope you're having a great time. And I must say, I am enjoying the picture of Owen at the top of your blog - when I come to visit I'm like "oh hi Owen." :)
ReplyDeleteSail away and have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip. It sounds awesome. Things are rolling along well here.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear Ms. Moon, ay-yah!! And I cannot WAIT to see you in just a very few days. Imagine ourselves, hip to hip in that kitchen full of some of the women we love most, while the fire ring is tended with love and care by some of the men we love most...ay-yah!!!
ReplyDeleteI do hope to see another Dog Island conch shell, but mostly to see Dog Island darlings soon, soon.
Mr. Moon strikes me as too dignified to take insult at the boat's name. I know I'm late with commenting, but I hope it all went well and that you had a blast.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely time, what a great read :)
ReplyDeleteI put the cardinal feather in the hat I bought in Chicago. Come home now. I've missed you enough.
