Leg 1 - Popolano's in Chesterton for Bloody Marys and the Giant Doughy Cheese Weinie. It is Birthday-girl weekend and Justin the bartender is treating us fabulously. We are downright silly and there is no other moment more important than this one we are in right now.
Leg 2 - Drunken shopping. I practice not buying anything. I was awesome!
Leg 3 - Danny O's for more drinking and pool playing. It was super GROSS smelling...smokey yuckiness. I go for a walk. I am happy with myself for listening to my body. I fell in love with a ribbon twisting and dancing in a slow sunny winter breeze.
Leg 4 - Liquor store - Franzenskaner and other necessities - more utter silliness.
Leg 5 - Spring House Inn to wait for Wendi. Sheryl, Laura, and Jessica pick up Wagners. We eat and enjoy and laugh and enjoy.
Leg 6 - Drunken-fireplace-storytelling-fun ensues while the girls take turns getting Birthday massages. Every moment is exactly perfect. Wendi is exceptionally, hysterically, lewdly entertaining.
In the morning I pack up my car and take a stroll around the grounds. The birds are all out - the Cardinal, the Woodpecker, a variety of chatty chirpers, and one lone goose crying out in desperation...as though left behind. I cry. It is beautifully sad. I am full of gratitude for my flock all around me.
