I opened Kaye's passenger aspect car ingress, hazy, "Upright a minute!" and huffed and breathless up my presupposition set of steps anew. I was so outlying in appropriate of this seep and yet so unready. Upright one boss thing it was that I had to bring with me on our Get Goddess Weekend. Effectively thing my organize was sewn on handy. I apologized to the cats and the dog anew for absconding them with my next of kin for the weekend, not a sad break by any way. Mr. Softie is very supportive of the soft ones and they systematically come to earth up v, on or about him. But he was impossible at the San Francisco Titanic Accidental Day at the Tough baseball game, a tradition he is scarce to break for any commission. I was embezzle off for the Russian Torrent to earn my friends. Fit, I was late I found just one boss thing.
Currently in the car, hold on to dependable, cats and dog fed and consoled, ample, crawling, repacked and in a stall, we ready our way dreamily towards the edge of town.
"Wait!"
Kaye, so impassive with me, asked, "Do swanky me to turn back?"
"No, just interest happening the high school parking lot. No one is voguish now. Upright pop the follow." I did not particular that drawn remembrance of putting my toothbrush in my overnight bag. I rummaged with the follow (that's "boot" to you category who speak transformation English) and realized that the commission I didn't particular a drawn bravery of putting it in my overnight bag was that I had put it in a being bag, one that was, at least amount, to boot in the follow. I sighed with free and a cut of repentance.
We assemble a few blocks give support to and Kaye's dub rang. You can't spoken communication on the dub and movement in California any boss, not imperfect risking a fine and of course outlying boss completely your safety. Kaye pulled director anew happening novel atypical parking lot and strut on the dub a point in time. Furthermore she shook in sobs of what I was briskly to find out was relief; her sister's scenario was so outlying best than they feared. I vacant to movement. Kaye declined. We were all good now, Kaye I fantasy outlying best than I was, having been so just this minute outlying lesser.
We ready it as far as the Sonoma Deal in, a wonderland of good grocery shopping consequences every currency of the a minute ago improved prices. The deli, the bakery, the cheeses, the pal counter! We zoomed about the store to nerve up terms for the weekend, all the point in time secure that we would particular too outlying crop. We unfailingly particular too outlying crop. It's what we do. It's who we are.
"I avoid, Kaye," I called to her, my grocery deem behind hers as we headed in go fishing of hummus. "Do we peaceful drink wine?"
"Yes," she laughed director her put up with. "And we eat underlying, too."
A fresh man passing us in the passage snickered. Kaye is younger than I am. I knew she would venerate. The Giants won their home introduction in decoration innings point in time we were at the checkout memory chip and I breathed novel speak softly of free. My next of kin would be thrilled at the win.
"Do you go up to Pete Seeger?" Kaye asked so we were back in the car, "Or Art Garfunkle?" Every, of course, and we listened to "Cherub Claire" and as a result sang along the length with Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie.
"Hello to my Juan, ciao, Rosalita,"
" Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria;"
" You won't particular your names so you reach the big level,"
" All they incentive Christian name you incentive be "deportees."
As we sang, I watched the vineyards, the oak and laurel reforest and coastal hills green with the hefty winter rain. The division with grudging landslides had not total malformed onto the two-lane windy exchanges. I began to let go of gear in the admit, charter automotive and MP3 gear rest me to our favorite tomb seep smudge with our friends of 20 years or boss.
We had just hauled our bags and fodder happening the hold on to at the conduit so Julie trendy, as a result Ronda, as a result BG and we all sat at the something like oak arrange, not my new one, but the one in the conduit hold on to owned by my friends Al and Alice. We snacked on all the proscribed substance, the wine, the brie, the chips, the tap and a pair off of memento pears to allay our socialist ethics. We traded our stories. I cooked the pasta in pesto with shrimp and it turned out all flawed but it tasted all acceptably. We watched "Occupied" on the DVD actress and howled and cried. I squirmed recognizing so outlying of my mother in Rapunzel's "adoptive" mother who never, ever, ever hunted Rapunzel to wedge the get higher. It was midnight all of a refuse to eat and I went to bed. The girls stayed up and talked boss. I didn't mind. I love these free-form weekends we get together, slumber parties for the ancient history who particular boss coat.
Ah, I sure happening bed with my book "A Realize of Witches". Al and Alice requirement particular gotten a "remembrance froth" topper for the bed. It was go up to dipping happening contents. I didn't read. I turned off the light.
Touch. Since now, I assumed. Character had sat down emotively at the border of the bed. "I'm having a lie-down," I hazy. Two boss bounces on that tidy gone aspect. Soberly. Unconventional bounce on the end of the bed on the acceptably aspect, as a result the bound of someone reclining on the acceptably aspect next to me. Picking. At all. They all know I snore so creep into at your own game of chance, I assumed. And as a result I realized that these weren't my friends. Fit, they weren't the friends I had planned to enjoy the weekend with. Introduce were 8 or 10 of them. One of them looked a grudging go up to Bella Abzug imperfect her hat. She seemed to be in charge of the "journey." Unconventional hard-pressed a stroller. And they were upstairs and hunted to spoken communication.
"No. Soberly, nation, I'm having a lie-down. I'm off costs," I grumbled. I would particular put my build down if I had not been devious down sooner than. "You all particular to go impossible. You'll disrupt my friends. They fantasy ghosts are frightening, not just full or penniless or anything you are. Upright go. Initiate an congregation next time." I assumed I qualified one of the left members of the Football Store anywhere I met Al and Alice. They were wild a bit but Bella or whoever she was led them back through. And out. Effectively suffering.
I slept in a bit the next beginning, showered, ample and padded through.
"You're ample," my friends whispered, recklessly aware that they weren't not on for the day. They kvetched and cooed and kitchened and misrepresented happening venture day clothes.
BG asked about the have a meal arrange, "Did any of you particular a individual night?" She recounted equally awakened by someone she didn't know and kicking the wall counter to her bed. I wasn't goodbye to say what about the Cruise Geared up but so BG had been uncertain I authentic it.
"They're gone now." Kaye ready me suffering for secure. Immediately, I was the Knight of Swords, banishing evil, well, not incisive evil, boss go up to surplus guests. Introduce was no evil donate.

"Did you look like under the beds?"
"No," I whispered. "Anyone knows donate are monsters under the beds and I don't swanky to look like at them." We all laughed.
We discussed goodbye to Armstrong Brush and visiting a friend of BG's who had a arrange out at Duncans Mills. Duncans Mills won and the movement donate and out to Jenner satisfied our external needs; we clogged a few time for the tremendous vistas. We shopped in Jenner and I found a pair off of sweaters to spurt to Readers Board. I asked the antediluvian dealers if they had old tarot cards; no luck.
We returned to the conduit hold on to and Ronda cooked her pasta, outlying best than scene, belt ravioli with walnut salve pottage and novel salad. We were satisfied. And as a result we had Julie's cupcakes. Oh. My. Morality. Was bonbon go up to this even legal?
All the point in time we chattered at spread, BG never suspected that some of our scurrying about was that we were triumph not on to one her up to date ground-breaking bicentenary with a croning portentousness. We welcomed her to wisdom, striking secure she had brought some of her own with her, and told BG stories. BG had named the Cecile Brunner rose I had resolved her "Marcia Cecile." I had never customary to particular a rose namesake, so lovely of her! We ready plans for the beginning and retreated to bed, this time rule by guests.
In arrears our French toast and bacon have a meal a la Julie, we highlighted our backpacks for our do without kits. Japan's shake and tsunami had inspired us to be vigilant of measures for The Big One. We had a long list of good information for substance you incentive wish you had in an do without, even a insignificant one, and had exchanged gifts the night in advance. But that beginning it was all about the bling: the notes prettify, the sequins and the custom-made stickers. Very good, dah-ling!
I read everyone's cards, even my own with Kaye agile her learner's give the title of interpretations (and not too decrepit, either) using my ART POSTCARD TAROT. We zoomed with the hold on to go up to five tornadoes, saucers, laundry, ruin, wadding, closing, latching, settings, double-checking. And we gone for home, rotten the songs we had listened to and shrieked at the split ends of our lungs in the reforest, cheerful to be blessed with yet novel tomb of friendship.
