Beneath the Wraps

          We blew the opportunity of  picking blueberries for  50 cent per pound.   On Friday night Richard had announced to the troop that we would go pick blueberries the following morning and leave the house by 8:30.   I knew that wasn ’ t going to happen.   It was a rough night for all of us.        I was a grouch.   I knew I would be a grouch all day if I didn ’ t get some sleep.   When I am so exhausted and cannot sleep I tend to cry.   I have cried a lot this month.        On Saturday the gang did not pick blueberries nor did they go to the Safari.   Richard had decided on a dog park in order to save money.   He invited me to come along and felt disappointed when I chose not to.  He was going to be upset with me either way.  At least by not going I wouldn't be shooting off my mouth to offend.          ...

          Roland said he wanted to take Jenna to Universal this weekend as it was/is a three-day weekend and Jenna will be returning to school on Wednesday. What?!?!??    Never mind  that we don’t have the money, but the idea of being in a car for over 24 hour drive and just one day . . . no thank you.   I don’t even like going down to Medford which is less than two hours away.   I think the car is to blame for my misshaped body.   Seriously.           A friend suggested to me that I should go to the Circles of Sand in Bandon found here .    I thought it started on Saturday, but the two days left for the summer schedule were the first two days of September which didn’t start until today.           She also told me to go to the “Washed Ashore Gallery ” found here .  Because Roland was looking for a ge...
