The semester winds down and soon we will leave for the northeast, for our camp on Lovewell's Pond. My mother's family built a place their in 1906 and we still go there every summer. Very little has changed; we still pump drinking water by hand from the well, and bathe in the pond. We still listen to the bullfrogs on hot summer evenings.
Starting with my great great grandfather, one of the builders, daily logs have been kept of the weather and the events of each day. So when I say "we still..." in fact I know it for sure. How many people know what their great great grandparents did every day, in detail?
About Me
- K
- The Sierra Foothills, California, United States
- Secret Identity: Cuuixsilver Costume: Blue jeans and stretchy tank top which may be cotton, silk, or some wacky micro-fiber, depending on the need to distract and confuse onlookers. Often topped by a flowing cape-like shirt. Distinguishing Features: Eyes and short-ish hair of a strangely indefinite color. You might say hazel and ashy, but then again, you might not. And when I say you, I mean me. Tiny oval glasses, one Tattoo, coffee mug. Secret Origin: An emanation of the Bodhisattva of mercurial mood changes, Cuuixsilver appeared in her present incarnation approximately 40 years ago, when she glanced around her higher plane and remarked, "It's boring as hell up here, I'm gonna get me a body." And so she did.
