I spent three hours with my friend Laurence,
rocking and talking on his backporch
We swatted flies.
He told stories.
I listened...
and laughed at his clever jokes and salty humor
I sipped wine from his grandmas juice glass
and at the end of the day...

Hi Deb,
That sounds like the kind of day that I would like to have! There is something just lovely about spending an afternoon with an older person. One's perspective of life and sense of the world is shifted in a very beautiful and fragile way. So much wisdom and life experience can be shared in just one conversation. Thanks for sharing your sweet day.

Noelle
thank you for intimacy,
dabbled light, the timber of voices from long gone days.
i love the light halo around his head....and the sway of rocking chairs on old front porches.
so grateful to sit a spell with you...even from afar.
lovely, just lovely Deb. sounds like a perfect late summer afternoon.
This is so sweet love the view. I'm sure you made his day :)
You captured the mood and the moment...thank you for this August break and for letting us slowly rock along side.
