The Pine Tree State Revisited
We just returned from Maine. A spontaneous weekend-get-away! Well, spontaneous for us; we planned it a month ago. I didn't mention it for fear of burglars. Anyway, now that we are home I am free to say we had a wonderfully relaxing time, feasting on lobsters, fried clams and blueberry pie.
Mother-in-law
She's out! As in going home, leaving rehab. She is very happy and I must say
it could not come at a better time. She was becoming a bit bitter over this whole experience. And since I am the one who calls everyday, brings her chocolate and cookies, naturally, I bear the brunt of her frustration. No good deed goes unpunished.
I've Got Mail
After my mother passed away my brother gave my sister a number of items. One being a letter my mother wrote to me, on a roll of shelf paper, dated around the time I got married. For those of you new to my blog, this was when my mother disowned me.
I asked my sister to read it to me during a chat on the phone and she got as far as "I am very depressed and..." then my sister said she couldn't make out the words and was too tired to read.
The letter has sat in my sisters apartment, a glaring albatross. I am afraid of what the contents might reveal, wondering why it was never mailed (and why shelf paper?). And wouldn't it be nice if I had siblings, (my sister is exempt for obvious reasons from this responsibility), that would run interference for me by reading it and making a thoughtful decision on my behalf, saving me from all this anguish?
