The trip to New Orleans French Quarters was dazzling and bewitching with a friend there ready to meet up for drinks. Elsas wedding anniversary of 30 years and her oldest daughter Myra checked into a two bed hotel where parades and jesters filled the streets. They shared crawfish, and alligator nuggets. A ferry picked them up, a trolly thru Bucator St. where ghostly memories of job bankruptcy, and for a man who won her love plagued her throughout her stay in New Orleans after the hurrican devastation. So they texted back and forth between dinners fancy lobster bisque and oysters to the arts of phantom masks captivated the very essence of expression over facial gestures with feathers and paint.
There Myra kept to herself. She felt an emptiness going through the cemeteries and French marketplace where fresh soaps and herbs were homemade and sold. Her weight, and frumpy clothes and thick glasses were dull yet her happiest getup since bright blouses and long hair.
Smoking too was not her best habit. It was a pleasure to hang out at Three Sisters jolly morning buffet breakfast with her parents and their friends who lived a town or two over who ate squirrel meat and visited Indiana townhouse of married couples welcome singles beware.
Lake Geneva, WI and Milwaukee were two of the places Myra would be saying.goodbye to as.friends were diminishing and fading.from their meeting places here giving her time to self examine and reflect, learn, and make good.decisions with planning her faithful journey through wellness and work.
Lake Geneva: Myra often found a.remote place to reflect and think, coffee shop across the way, a bait shop near the cottage, she counted her blessings, and didnt know how but would come home to Indiana with a job, and a house of her own, a son, and a cancer scare while a cyst grew to be the size of a tennis ball on her overie, removed.
Fort Pickens, Florida came by surprise with Elsa and Ernesto. Myra went. Her sister blanca and husband ranchito came. They drank and played Craps on the doc.
Baby's up....gotta go
