stopped at the Thrift Shop on the way down from seeing Alz. B for the first time in over a week. (They had Norovirus and did not want anyone coming in and out. Today that was lifted and life will go on as usual.) This dress was there. It's homemade. It's perfect. Can you see the repeat of the inverted triangle of the pockets ...their flaps? and i don't know the correct words, but the pattern of the cloth (cotton) for the skirt was also cut in an inverted V, perfectly matched. Who made this, i wonder? My intention is to take the sleeves off, the collar, change the buttons and turn it into a Hose Dress. (Hose Dress: light cotton dress that as i work outside in heat, i hose self down ...with the hose....and as the water evaporates, i am cool) But now as i look at it, i'm not sure i can do that. Someone went to great lengths creating this dress. hmmmm.
a very fine plain light weight silk jacket. Back to Jude's Contemporary Boro. 21 century Rags. But i have maybe 3 or 4 like this already in some basket or other. Why did i bring this home?
and similarly so, Yet Another pair of perfect overalls. Just to the point of nicely worn. Route 66 brand, these. But i already have a pair. and so, the question of Why arises again.
and this. A pillow case. Again, homemade. There is a darkening in the middle...both sides....a stain. It smells nice, is nicely washed, but the stain gives it some kind of extra feeling that is ify. I am guessing it's from the head that lay upon it. A head that used some kind of hair product. Am thinking of a man's hair product. But i am a sucker for this kind of old cotton print. i like it a lot.
I made a quick run to Walmart for the Old Cowboy's essentials. 10 frozen Banquet Turkey Pot Pies (pretty much all he wants to eat anymore), Walmart bakery Cinnamon Swirl Bread, Halls throat lozenges, the rootbeer hard candies he likes, and i threw in a bag of grapes which he will let rot in the refrigerator. Dropped all that off.
Stopped at the Other vet and talked to him. Made an appointment for Thursday at 3 for him to come and trim Magic's scur. We'll see if it goes better than the last scur trim for Barbara who was ostrasized for 3 days because she bled. Part of the reason that happened was because i didn't hold her well enough. I explained that to this vet, a different one, and he just listened patiently and said yes, well, ok. So i am visualizing well ahead how i need to hold Magic. but she is a strong Goat and very uhhh, headstrong. Thursday.
all that and i cleaned Allen's house which is the home now for Thing One and Thing Two, two kittens. It's an Event. They zip from object to object like tiny meteors....are barely visible because of their speed.
this small soul waited here at home. There is a very thin copper thread. Loosened from a Chore Boy Scrubbie. It was on the floor. I like it.
