And then one day..

[meccahi]

One of these days I will have my shabby little house in the middle of someplace quiet. There will be trees, and maybe a long driveway leading up to the house. Definitely a garden, and flowers, and plants a'plenty. There may even be a pond. I will most certainly have cats, and probably a dog.If I'm especially lucky, loved ones will live with me there too.

There will be games and music, and randomness to fill the hours. I will travel and wander, but always come home, because that's where I belong.

But for now I'm here in the city with the incessant rumble and buzzing of cars, like deranged bees, and the sounds of sirens cutting in and out.
I think of them as hyenas, yipping back and forth.

But the pomegranate trees are budding leaves like it's going out of style. I swear they've grown in the past 6 hours that I last glanced at them. And the hummingbirds have shown up.

I suppose I should start doing productive things.

Frank and his boardgaming friends from home have these plans to move into a home together when they are retired and sit around and play boardgames all the time (they are all crazy like Frank - remind me to post pictures of the game room sometime).

I think there's something in there about me manning the tea trolley... so you need to learn German and come stay, too, so that I have something to do other than bake increasingly elaborate biscuits. Can;t think of a better person to plot global domination with!
