... to finish a truck load of dishes. Starting now. My hub cooked up a feast on the barbecue for a pile o' friends. So nice. The girls have gone home. The boys are in the shop playing cards and telling stories, cigar smoke circles their next move. I will suds away memories of food and watch Foo swirl at me.
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."

Do you feed Foo crumbs? How does he react to soap bubbles?
Hee! I have this funny picture of me hucking Foo in with the dishes just to give him a bath. I think he might shrink if there was too much soap. eep! As for crumbs ... well, it's kinda gross what he eats. Crumbs would be nice but he has a thing for dried blood worms. Yum.
