    When the weather was bad … cold and dreary…sap collecting makes the sun shine in the mind’s eye.

    the usual trees a rest.”

    THE MOVIES ARE BACK — MY FEET ARE FROZEN AS IS ALL ELSE I SEE;

    So you think the movie industry is all sweetness and light.  Not so,  today was as rotten
    as the apples forgotten beneath the trees.  crystals of ice showered us like sheets of
    fractured glass.  Yet, yes, there is something charming about the unloading of set
    material. Like old friends. Like Hoar frost.

    I wore my best shoes.  Do not tell Marjorie.

    There is a story coming about the year 1916 but first you must meet my grandmother, Louisa
    Amelia Freeman.  She was a Lady.  Do you know what that means?  I never knew until long
    after she died.  She had the Parkinson shakes but never let that slow her down.

    She was terrified of fire.    I never knew why until the year 1916 tumbled out of obscurity.


    Now I must find pictures.
