A GATHERING FOR POOLIE in Postcards 4

There was quite a large crowd gathered at a women’s church set far back in an industrial mall. Many wore pirate garb. Pam spoke concisely yet movingly, her Part-Time-Job shrink made us all laugh, and her niece spoke a bit endlessly. She loved her niece.

They played her some of her music, there was a display of her instruments, and her favorite little things were on a table. Captain Pirate Poolie on display. She was a funny lady, and several of her ongoing jokes were on display too. Plays were mentioned. She directed too. She flat out loved working with kids. She was a true renaissance lady.

There was an excellent slide show. I find that I need to ask friends on Facebook about Copyrights on Facebook, and I need to let my opinions on this go.

There was food….embarrassingly we ate before we went. The friends and nonfriends were all magic. That was the very best part of the day.

• Me, myself, and I: Second day on a very light cold. I’m drowning it in Zicam and other remedies, and don’t feel bad at all.


• Reading: Getting to the meat of the latest Louise Penny.


• Captain Poolie: Her ashes will be given to the sea today.


• Gratitude’s: That we knew Poole.
