WHEN THE FRONT DESK PEOPLE
know your name at check-in
and you know which button to push
on the hair dryer
attached to the wall
without even looking
and you’re instructing others
at breakfast
how much batter
goes in the waffle maker,
when to turn it
and when it’s done
you know you’re spending
w-a-y too much time there,
400 miles from home.






Big hug to you Marilyn during this time.
