The Accidental Texan: Part 1, Chapter 9

Posted on 01/27/201903/17/2019 by margrad80

The Old Pecan Tree With Kelly gone, Genevieve set her mind to getting as much work as she could done, having spent so many companionable hours with her husband, leaving the studio empty. The proposed date of her next show was looming, and she had promised her agent an even dozen canvasses in the new…

January 26, 2019: Escaping the Neighbors’ Fiesta.

Posted on 01/26/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

I needed to work on my novel today, but the neighbors were gearing up for a Fiesta. The music was playing really loud. Face it, the music is still playing very loudly (2200 hours). To combat it, I put on my ear phones and set my iPhone to play “brown” noise. I tried “white noise”,…

Enter Madeleine The first time Genevieve’s sister Madeleine came to visit her in Misty, it caused a great deal of confusion in the small town. Everyone knew that Genevieve just gave birth to her first child and couldn’t be expected to be out of bed for at least a week, so the town was shocked…

The Red Scare As time rushed past, Genevieve found herself drawn more and more into life outside the farm. She thought it strange that she and Kelly didn’t form a friendship with another couple. Genevieve socialized with the women whose children were near Alexis’ age, but not with their husbands. Mostly they were Methodist women,…

January 24, 2019: Cleaning Day Again

Posted on 01/25/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

I waited until it was almost time for Rosa to arrive before leaving today. Rosa has a key and can let herself in to clean. I didn’t have any shopping to do, and really didn’t feel like wandering around a museum. I decided that I would walk down to the first tunnel from my apartment…

January 23, 2019: Walking around town.

Posted on 01/24/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

Going out for my walk today, I decided not to take photos. I walked across town, until I saw a bunch of children at recess in one of the town squares. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of them. I was just in time as their adult supervisor called time on them just as I…

The First Home Movie A few days after Genevieve’s first art show, Kelly was perched at the top of a ladder with his head just brushing the rain gutter at the edge of the roof. He could see Genevieve walking down the long driveway toward the county farm road. He wondered what she was up…

January 22, 2019: Sopa de Mariscos

Posted on 01/22/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

I don’t often dedicate a whole post to one dish of food. Perhaps I should. Nothing very interesting has happened lately. Except I guess, spending way too much time on the roof talking to the folks who live above me. Today I went out to buy groceries. On my way to the market, I stopped…

The Craft Show Some weeks later, Genevieve and Kelly sat on the same side of the breakfast table so that they could pass Alexis back and forth between them as they ate, while feeding her. As Kelly held Alexis in his lap attempting to eat his breakfast, Genevieve reached over to her husband’s plate and…

Mae Comes to Visit Life on the little farm went on, mostly oblivious to the continued interest of the town gossips. Kelly and Genevieve were so wrapped up in the process of rebuilding their lives that they didn’t yet have the time for building a new social world, out side of the occasional dinner at…

My Inconvenient Live

I am a retired American Merchant Mariner.  l was living a nomadic lifestyle somewhere between being a nomad and an expat, before Covid19. I moved from country to country as my visas ran out. This blog covered my travels and the random thoughts about life, technology, travel, and the Oxford comma. Now I am stuck waiting for the pandemic to pass. During this time my posts will have very little to do with traveling, and more to do with keeping myself entertained during lockdown.
