Paulette Writes

We try to keep it private.  We put signs all around and hope people read them.  The pool is just for us, small, a bit old, but I love lying on my back and looking at the sky and watching the trees against it.  I am especially happy when Bernie is swimming nearby.  Just a simple pleasure on a summer day. I remember with happiness the raucous sound of family in the pool.  What joy.

Who keeps me company at night when I  am up with my husband quietly sleeping nearby,  this author's funny, sad humor.  She sounds so much how I feel if I only had her way with words.  So she keeps me company when the reality of what is going on disturbs me.
