Life Is A Menagerie

---

​This old gal…

Read an obituary awhile back…it finished with…she will be missed…by her friends in Texas…where she spent her winters…for so many years…seemed odd to young me…like yea right…couldn’t imagine it…but after this last potluck…yes…dragged that husband of mine to yet another…it kind of…makes sense…

It’s a menagerie really…all kinds of people…from all kinds of places…each with a back home kind of story…but also…now…a wintering in Texas kind of story…good people…friendly people…kind friends…saying…and doing…kind things…and yes…they would be missed…if their seat at the table were empty…

And hopefully…put a few more happy hours…a few more potlucks under the belt…this husband and I…might be missed…too…but that’s not to be in the obit…that’s reserved for…

She loved…the unloved…and these wonderful folks…are far too lovable…to be…unloved…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
