Did you see the moon last night? He rose just above the live oaks on our street, a few nights from full, missing a sliver yet still impressive. He watched over me, illuminating the neighborhood as I walked around the corner to Jill’s house. I carried a bottle of Chardonnay in my groovy wine tote—a must-have in our porch-partying neighborhood.
The night was unseasonably warm. I felt lighter as though years and pounds and worries had melted away with my new haircut.
I had forgotten to eat all day and imagined what the evening’s menu would be. These nights were more about the food and friends than the month’s book selection.
Jill’s porch light wasn’t lit.
Tonight I shall try again. The moon will be even brighter.

I know, you just wanted to show off your new ‘do! I’ll bet you smiled through it all! 🙂

For whatever reason, I thought it was last night. Then when you posted that, I was sure it was last night. ha. oh well. No harm done plus another blog story:))
Did you have a bottle of wine before you left home?
Ha Tom, sadly no. Just my normal confusion. Or perhaps that was the problem.
I do believe you are turning into your mother! That sound like something theBAT would do. Mom
yes it does. yes I am.
Now if we had only seen you walking home we could have shared that bottle while walking Chester!!Cheers! Harold
Wine under the moon. Hmmm.

You know what else they say? Writers will do anything for a story!!!! At least you knew where you were!!!
I think everything is a story:)
Or, “There’s A Moon Out Tonight” by the Capris (circa 62). Always can go strolling with a bottle of wine.
