…and I was home!
Now what?
Well, it’s been a bit harder to write since I’ve been home. I’m doing boring things, like feeding my cat (Maggie) and my neighbors cat (also Maggie) and looking for apartments and jobs in DC, with no luck on either front thus far.
My family has all gone to Europe, and so I also have a mandate to water the garden and pick the tomatoes and peppers when they are ripe. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the garden produces way more tomatoes and peppers than I’d like to eat. I’ve been eating about three peppers a day in various forms, and I’ve been freezing about 20 tomatoes per day. I eat them too, but the vast majority go into the freezer. Soup and sauce of the future.
I’ve been to one wedding and have another one on the way, and I’ve read 1.5 books out of the Stieg Larsson trilogy. While still on the first book someone told me the author died of a heart attack when he found out his books were getting published. I don’t think it’s true, at least Wikipedia didn’t confirm it. So altogether my life at home this last week and a half has been… um, slightly productive? I suppose I could continue this blog as I am heading north again in a month (DC here I come, employed or not!) but at the moment I think I will take a hiatus. I suppose I already have, not being able to remember when my last post was.
Hi Jessie,
We are still alive and speaking to each other. Today Mom took a boat and Matt and I biked in the steady rain for 4 hours to get to the next town. Mom did some biking. It was nice being with Matt. I am borrowing the computer of the daughter of the hotel owner. She will not be going to University as she is an only child and she will need to run the hotel. She is 15.
I don’t want to spend a long time on the computer and so will make this short. Thanks for taking care of the tomatoes and Maggie and everything. We all love you very much.
Love Dad.
Hi Jessie,
I just wrote you a long email here and it got eRASED AND NOW IT HAS GONE TO CAPITALS AND I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT SMALL; THE KEY BOARD IS DIFFERENT. Oh there it goes. So we are all in Krems. It rained all day and Matt and I bicycled in the rain. It was very cold. Mom rode in a boat, bicycled some. Any way we had a great day and I’m sure with a shower and food all will be well.
Thanks for feeding Maggie and watering and picking the garden. Who’s wedding did you go to?
I am borrowing the daughter of the Hotel owners laptop. She is 15. She will not go to college as she is an only child and will need to take over the running of the hotel. I must make this short as I can’ be too long on this computer……and Mom just came down and wants to eat…that is an emergency.
Bye, We all love you very much.
could you send me Aunt Jessie’s address please.
Love Dad
