The Mansion

Fr33k!!! You're still here! It is so good to see you. I've been well. How about yourself?
 
The day has been....weird. Hell, Mother Nature has been weird this year but her roses continue to grow and have buds on them. Earlier in her day she had taken her coffee outside and unable to simply sit and enjoy she had worked around her roses. The silence was soothing as was digging her hands into the soil. She probably should hire a gardener but then she would have to give up grubbing around on her own. Now, the pool... she was going to have to hire someone to take care of that. The Mansion was coming out of mothballs and with it, the memories of good times, rough times and of friends. Nothing stays the same forever. We all move on. But my, oh, my, the good times were good. The tough, tough but through it all there had been her friends. She missed them all. Especially Ice. There was just something ab out that man that drove her crazy but she could always count on him in her corner. F33k was still around, as is Glad and CG. She noticed Veroe is still around. She'd have to walk around the streets again and see who else was hanging out, those she might know. For now, she simply sat back and enjoyed the slower pace.
 
A new day has dawned and she is in the kitchen making another pot of coffee. There is a faint smell of cinnamon rolls permeating the room. With cup in hand, she moves to gaze out of the sliding glass doors, just enjoying the view of her backyard.
 
A glass of ice tea sits on her desk, sweating, in this weather. The soft taps of the keyboard can be heard if one listens close enough. A long time ago, there was someone in her life, a sister by another mother. They use to sit at their respective computers and keep each other company well into the night. Now and then they would type something to each other and one night the seed of writing a book was born. Eventually, that book came to fruition and then her sister by another mother, passed on. Cancer. Before she passed on there was talk of another book. So now, to honor the memory of her sister by another mother, she, herself, was working on the second book.

Today's weather was stifling. Thunderstorms were the prediction for the afternoon. The air was heavy and still. Instead of the central air, she chose to open all the windows. Quite possibly the wrong thing to do, but it felt good to open windows after such a cold winter. To hear clearly the birds chirping despite the tornado warnings.

I know, right? Damn PWs. I got lucky I got my old account back. I guess my PW was saved on the server? Like I wouldn't know you. :kiss:
 
Now, to actually TRY and find time to write again!!!!!
I know. Dryfter has been talking about restarting our old story (ies) and he just can't get started and I asked him if he knew why and when he asked me why, I told him because he comes home to me every night now. :LOL::giggle: He said I was probably right. I have one long running (years) story with a good friend but we write in private on Discord now.
 
Give Dryfter a big old SMOOCH for me ... hahaha...
And yeah, I get that. I'm not sure I could "write" with my Hubby... LOL... His imagination is alot like mine (mine may be a bit more extreme haha)... But between work, home stuff, and playing ESO online, and we have ONE laptop..LOL

I certainly will. ;)
 
She slips in quietly, pours a nice cool glass of iced tea, and settles down with her feet up. Taking a deep sip of the oh so refreshing drink she sighs and smiles to her friend DW...

Feels good to be writing again!!!!
 
Reading back thru some past musings by DW in the Mansion, she noted the mention of ICE... And Ambrosia had to agree with DW about Ice.. With a wink to her friend...

Please give LI my best when you can...

I will. He reached out a while ago and I never got the opportunity to reach back but I keep track of him.
 
~ It's been a couple of days and in those few days, she managed to get outdoors and plant some flowers and new roses. Today it was raining. Nothing heavy. The air smelled good. Clean. Coffee and rain. Delicious combination. Maybe she could come up with some ideas for future stories. Wandering over to her desk, she sat down and flipped on her computer and began to think. ~
 
~ Would this weather never settle its mind? She was thinking of the potted roses waiting to be planted and with a sigh, she went back to her computer to work on the second book and hopefully, would get this one published as well. She was still debating the turn of events in this second book. It could not be the same as the first one, too much had happened since that one became published. How was she going to handle this one?~
