Morning. In a half hour or so you are meeting Cathy and Tod at Old Bag of Nails in Uptown Westerville to hold a table for Aunt Ruthie and Tony, Gretchen and Jerry and Wendy and Jim for a pre-summer reunion of family oldsters. - Amorella
This is very exciting for you because it pleases Aunt Ruthie that you are doing this. Everyone loves Aunt Ruthie and she is one of the last contacts with everyone else in the family who is gone. She's the meat of the meal. - mh
1053 hours. What an odd expression.
A family gathering such as this is nourishment to the soul. - mh
Nearing bedtime. Everyone had a delightful time and this afternoon you suggested meeting again this Summer. Some positive feedback so you will meet with Aunt Ruthie, Tony and Cathy and Tod. Cathy wrote back with 'lots of stories and laughter [today]". You agree completely. Most everyone told an old story or two about growing up in Westerville. You told Aunt Ruthie that Mom more than once said that you reminded her a lot of her Grandpa Freeman (your great-grandfather). Aunt Ruthie started laughing at the thought, and you wondered if your mother was saying something derogatory about you (in your teens). She said her Grandpa Freeman was very well liked by everyone in the community but that he was basically a lazy man. Everyone laughed. - Amorella
2220 hours. That's an example of how the stories were from most everybody. Funny things that happened growing up in the Westerville area when the population was about 500 or so in town in summer and when Otterbein was in session there were an added 1000. That's how Aunt Ruthie remembers being told that about those who lived there about 1915. She was born in '29. I had heard Westerville was a small peaceful village where everyone knew everyone else's business or hoped to if they didn't. I think that was from Aunt Patsy some years ago but I wouldn't swear to it.
Deep down, what delights you the most in family sessions like this is the intent of showing each other observations of personal humanity in its raw state with everyone accepting everyone else for what they honestly are. - mh
2233 hours. I like you, Miss Havisham. In some ways you tell things like they are, just like Amorella.
Dear Mr. Orndorff, I am in no way like Amorella, though to you it appears that I am because we are both of the spirit world so to speak, and we both 'appear' from your head, that is literally, from your fingertips tapping the computer keys. - mh
2239 hours. I am really not that eager to hear more from you on this subject, Miss Havisham. I accept that you two are as a different kind of spirit. Obviously, if you are indeed a personification of my soul, then you are a part of me.
That is not the way it works. I am first. You are a part of me not the other way around. I accept you. mh
2245 hours. That turns my table.
Post. - Amorella
