We got Gracie the Conure from Beth Witt and her husband. I don't know if you remember Gracie...she had gray wings and she quoted Honeymooner lines...I think we started out babysitting her for them when they went somewhere on furlough and she just...never left. I don't know if you remember the corn snake I had in the terrarium or Garfield the cat who was terrified of said snake for some reason. I think I also had an emperor scorpion and a rosy tipped tarantula at some point. I know mom never liked putting her hands in our pockets to empty them out when it was time for laundry.
I think Bob used to also manage that restaurant on the main road in Chinle because I distinctly remember him always bringing over fried shrimp. Or maybe he was really good friends with the manager? We were always getting free food there.
You know the crazy thing about that house in Garland? I could probably draw you the blueprints to the inside..like where the rooms, doors, and windows were. There was a huge honeysuckle hedge covering the perimeter of the backyard fence and a boysenberry tree right outside the back door from the kitchen that had the tastiest berries on it and made the worst mess.
My Grandmother and grandfather used to own most of camelbak mountain in Paradise Valley near Phoenix. The lightning storms there are amazing. It was the first time I’d ever seen lightning being from CA. We’d sneak out and sit in the hammock and watch till we fell asleep. I love these stories. keep going!!
Sitting outside in rain and thunder during monsoon is what I miss the most about Lahore. I used to block the drain on the roof with bricks and splash in the pooled water. I once cut my foot with a piece of glass that somehow got into my pool. It's my favorite scar.
