One Is The Color of Your Hair

We are now in St. Louis!!!!  Tomorrow we will have the van checked and if all goes well, we will set up a time to get everything fixed.  Then it is off to Camdenton to take care of some business.

Before I left Prairie Village Hannah gave me two books (authors Brautigan and Hegi) which I will return because they need to be in our library.    That is a great way to get on my good side.  It will be wonderful to reread Watermelon Sugar and Trout Fishing by Richard Brautigan and I have not read Intrusions by Ursula Hegi .  I am excited to have these in my hands.  When I moved out of my house on a foundation and into a house on wheels I gave my daughter my library.  She shares my love of books and has an extensive library of her own.    Mom and I even have a mini library in our little house.

Hopefully we will have internet tomorrow.

Nine Things by Richard Brautigan
It's night
and a numbered beauty
lapses at the wind,
chortles with the
branches of a tree,

giggles,

plays shadow dance
with a dead kite,
cajoles affection
from falling leaves,
and knows four
other things.
One is the color
of your hair.
