ROLLING RIGHT ALONG in Postcards 4

The Friends of the Library, hereafter FOL, doesn’t have a section for Christmas books. Did I tell you that earlier? The Children’s book section does. Maybe Christmas is for children only. Here yesterday, G installed one of those things that make stars on the front of the house. Earlier he installed more icicles on the tiny balcony over the front door.

We bloom blue and white lights everywhere.

Margot and Zoe are coming Christmas eve. I promised Pam I’d serve soup. I forgot to ask Bobbie if she and Geoff are coming. I was thinking that they would all like my friend Jo’s Pezzoli.

My life was slowed down by my arthritis yesterday, and I note I am thinking in little thought bubbles this morning. You would laugh to see me shelving books…I sit in a rolling office chair. With a lap full of books I roll from shelf to shelf. Solves all my no-walking problems. I laugh and hope my bosses are laughing too.

• Himself: Dinner in old town last night. He had the traditional turkey tamales with mole. “Today we are tucked in and don’t have to go out, he tells me.” The first wave of clouds has already rolled in. Rain by lunch.


• Myself: The weather is making some parts of me rebel.


• Reading: Broke in to Stilletto for “Air Force One.” I didn’t know there were so many of them or that the fleet is so large.


• Gratitude’s: George, The Aerobics Class welcome, getting the laundry done, and finding G the perfect present.
