To catch up...Christmas was great!! A nice quiet one here just the three of us and then enjoying time with family for a few days after. JP made out like a bandit and is enjoying playing with all of his new toys! We spent New Years back in Myrtle Beach and it was great to be there for a whole week this time to really get the chance to hang out with and see people.
The 2nd semster has already started and I am taking 15 hrs this semester to get things finished and Jason only has to go to Morgantown 2 nights a week and he's home much earlier this semester too.
OK...now on to the subject of this posting....Otis and Horace (names have been changed because I dont know their real names). For starters understand this, Otis is in a wheelchair and Horace walks with a cane. They are regular fixtures here in the Glenville community and you can usually catch Otis begging for money or a drink outside the liquor store. For the past few weeks we have noticed that these two "friends" have taken up outside our neighbors house and enjoy happy hour at all hours of the day. Usually in the mornings and early afternoons and only on sunny days. Today they started happy hour at around 10 am and took a break while Horace went to the liquor store to replenish their supply. They came back around 2 pm while JP was napping and I was doing dishes. I only know this because I can see them right out my kitchen window while doing dishes and there isnt anything else to look at! It was almost like I could narrate their conversations through their body language, like when Otis reached over and touched Horace's arm and could have said, "You're my best friend (in a drunken slur)." Kinda like drunk college girls. At least this sadly gives me something to smile and laugh about. I am hoping to see them again tomorrow since its supposed to be sunny and then rain the rest of the week. I am sure they will want to get another outdoor happy hour in before the bad weather shows up.
Speaking of bad weather, I will talk about being in the Bermuda triangle of weather during my next post which will be sooner rather than later.
