The Things I Love About My Mother's House
February 15, 2008
- I know where everything is, because everything is in the same place it has been for the last 30 years.
- I can see the stars, and the clouds are lit by pure moonlight. There's no light pollution.
- The dogs immediately sense that I need to be welcomed into the house by being covered with hair and tongues.
- The ocean is in the periphery of everything and everywhere.
- There is orange juice in the refrigerator and ice cream in the freezer. Always.
- The mattress still has a Valette-shaped impression.

Even when I visit my parents in Missouri, they kitchen is stocked the same way it was up here. I love being able to find everything.
