Since 2008 – Progress Through Politics

I had a visit, and it was nice

I had a visit, and it was nice,

I had a guest and he was so polite!

I had a friend here, and he spent a lot of time

   talking to my cats, saying special things

About their bellies. 

I made my visiting friend my favorite dinner,

with chile lime barbecue and green beans and potatoes, and cheese and butter,

And before we ate, I thanked the three chickens who died for those wings. I counted.

My friend helped me think about the premises here. “The furnace and water heater vents need more clearance, that could catch your roof on fire.”

“The furnace is wired directly into the house current? Well, do you have a good switchbox? Not to worry.”

“You are worried about your exterior faucet freezing? (metal pipe) ” Not likely a problem unless it gets really cold, then stuff a five gallon bucket full of straw and cover the fixture with that.

I haz friends.

    My friend stayed the night, I had to get him lots of quilts because he is thin. Sleeping on the couch and me on the plywood platform.

    I made my friend dinner, marinated barbecue chicken wings, lime and chile. Also soft green beans and potatoes. Butter and cheeses.

    This was all like a totally wonderful first date. He helped me to learn more about the infrastructure of my houses. He was just a wonderful guest, and I met him via the blogs!

    This was all chaste, and when I hugged hin when he was getting out of the bed I helped him make with all these quilts I keep acquiring, he hugged back most perfectly!

    It’s like, there is nowhere to go here other than forward. Thank you everyone who ever helped the Internet.
