Do not weigh babies or meat on this scale
What a great day. N. picked me up early to go stained glass shopping on the South Shore. The store itself was like something out of 1885. I seriously don’t think anything about the store had changed since then. Every sign in the store was sarcastic, all the glass was shelved by color, with a light film of dust on top. The cash register, tape dispenser and invoice machine were something out of a Rockwell painting.
And then we went back to Cambridge and I fell asleep on the floor as N. more or less did the entire glass-cutting/soldering process for me. Well, I tried to cut glass, but wasn’t very good at it (cutting glass is difficult!) though I did manage to wrap copper tape on things. And so she made the beautiful framed thing at right to hold one of my Hawaii photos. I’ve had a queue of photos waiting for months to get framed in handmade soldered glass. Just hope we can finish this week.
And then I went to a wonderful Christmas party at my old teacher’s house, and it was so cool, and great food, and nice people. Everyone brought something to share — songs, poems, testimonies, articles, memories, you name it. It was such an inspiring evening, I feel like Christmas is over now, that we had it tonight. I love people, and green glass, and everything.
