Hotel Paintings

I'm at the point where every town we pass, I think "I could live there."

I'm at the point where every hotel painting I see, I think "That could be a good job for me, painting pictures of garden gates and checkered tablecloths."

I'm at the point where I want to do just about anything but sit in the car, or repack dirty clothes into my suitcase, or try to make my hair look decent. Scratch that one - I gave up on grooming a few cities back.

My daughter's roommate Libby said, "You two look amazing."

I think she means we look frightening.

I just smiled at a little girl in Starbucks, and she hid behind her mother's leg.

Love and kisses Roy and Michelle xx

I gave up grooming in 1967. Now you know why my mother has never forgiven me.

anonymous, if only you knew! He is a dear cousin/friend of mine, with a penchant for writing dramatic messages...he'd told me months before that he would be there - it is so impossible to do personal calls & invitations on tour, and some people never figure this out. But he is family, after all - so he forgives me and I forgive him for his complaints.

Roy and Michelle, we'll be back soon! Kim and Rosie, thanks for offers of solace/grooming implements. It's our last night in America - I'm too inebriated to write an actual post. I can't wait to get home!

kids hide from me all the time. I don't know why.

Sometimes their dad's do too - with good reason! Love me a DILF...
