Arrival in Winslow

We had a number of delays so missed our dinner reservation. Fortunately, I packed some leftover chicken, cheese and lettuce. We didn't starve.

Lower Level Coach

When we got there though, the sidewalk was being redone and was really rough. Fortunately, Ron, standing in the dark ahead of us, had a flashlight and came back to rescue us.

Andrea's Yard

Last summer i planted some cantaloupe. It was so phenomenally better than the stores' i ordered some melon & corn seeds from the seed bank in Arizona. 

When i ran out of room i went across the street and asked Andrea, who i'd never met before, if i could plant in her yard. She said yes!

This is a blue collar neighborhood. After a day of work, single women have no interest in landscaping. Andrea's 16-year-old son is too busy. She was willing to let me have at it. I made the sticks out of paint stirrers from Michelle's collection. Artists collect everything. 

Wishful Thinking

It was time to get some expert assistance. I called Death Doula, Danielle Slupesky. Fortunately, she had an opening. We, Michelle, Danielle and I met for an hour and 45 yesterday evening. Dr Hawk, Hospice Physician and MAID officiator, joined us briefly by phone. 

Danielle is phenomenal!! Hawk is amazing!! Michelle and I are The Nutria Squidges...incomparable!!! I gotta find a way to post the recording.
