Drive-By Shooting



Was in Chelsea today for the first time since October. The new library is finished and I would have liked to have gone in, except I had the cat's insulin with me and needed to get it to a refrigerator. I always enjoyed walking to the library in Chelsea, which, even though it was small, usually managed to get the books I put on reserve to me within a week. In contrast, I can never find anything I want at the Ann Arbor libraries and placing items on reserve means a month or more wait.

I coudn't resist driving by the old apartment on the way out of town. I miss the porch, the tall windows, and the birds that came to the windowsills for peanuts. I miss the bathtub and walking up to the corner store on Sunday to buy the newspaper and a day-old Zingerman's muffin.

Seed catalogue arrived today. Will need to figure out where to put in a garden here. Six months later, I still think of this place as "new."
