As part of my very important healing process we are reading Treasure Island. We are taking turns reading it to eachother. I have found out two things. First of all I really like being read to and second I don't speak, read, or understand PIRATE-talk matey. I have had that book for 25ish yrs. and have never read it. I am really enjoying it. It was one of many classic books my mother bought me but I was too busy reading "Are you There God it's me Margaret?" There is almost no contest between Heidi or Margaret. I mean she gets her period and Heidi saves stale rolls for Grandma. Whatever blondie.
We are in Pine City, MN and are spending time at David's grandparents house. They are selling it and it is an emotional thing. They have been there for over 40 yrs. It is a beautiful house on a great lake.(one of 10,000 in the state) David has a lot of special memories here. I am so glad to be here with him. His mom who I call DM (david's mom) is here too and I really enjoy her company. We are building a really nice bond. It is just David and I (and Millie)sleeping on an air mattress in the living room under a great crystal chandelier. Grandma Sue Sharp is quite an artist and we are taking some of her water colors. I also grabbed an old pallette of hers. it is covered in acrylics and I think that in itself is beautiful art. I can just imagine her painting and combining colors. She has a beautiful smile and when she laughs she throws her head back like a teenage girl. It gives me so much joy. I feel so thrilled to get to know and spend time with her and Grandapa Jack her husband of 66 years. I believe in love but I appreciate seeing it in this light. They met on a blind date. He calls her his lovey still. They just turned 90 in June.
We will be here till Monday. My internet connection isn't great so I may not post until I get back to Iowa but I am trying to post often. (I think I can I think I can) One day at a time.
