Moonrising

What a beautiful evening we had. Yes, we even went out for awhile. The keeper worked all day, and came home after an 85th birthday party, and a college counseling session. ( Note: These two events involved different people.) She said she hopes to be as wild and crazy at 85 as this person is. The young man is very smart but will be the first in his family to graduate from college. His mother became literate recently. He finished community college and now is negotiating the challenges of applications and admission processes. He will make it, with some good connections. If the keeper has anything, it is contacts! She had dinner with the family --pupusas from El Salvador. She says that there will be pupusas in heaven. When she finally got home, we raced outside. But the evening has a chill to it, and the wood stove smoke is in the air. We rushed back in. The keeper turned the furnace on for the first time and Alice and I sat on the vents, much better than sitting on the cold ground. The keeper went back out to watch the moon rise over the trees. She loves the moon.
