The Honest Courtesan

One of the reasons I wanted to add on to my house was so I could have guests anytime I like.  Last week my friend Sophie told me she wanted to get out of Seattle for a couple of days, so she came over on Saturday, and yesterday we had a cookout (with Chekhov and Yellowbird in attendance).  I had found some nice strawberries on sale last week, so I made a strawberry shortcake for dessert, and though it probably would’ve been better had I taken this picture before we ate it, I still wanted to share.   Next week my friend Angela is coming for a few days, and the week after that a very trusted gentleman; I reckon that means it’ll be rather late in the month before I can get to installing the stovepipe, but we’ll see.  None of this probably seems very exciting, but honestly I’ve already had far more adventure in my life than is good for me.  So homemade desserts, visits from friends, and watching shows with Grace while stoned are just right for this stage of my life;  here’s hoping I get a lot more of the same, and as little as possible to disturb the peace and happiness I’ve found at long last.
