Aunt Bostick here. I'm not posting my picture today. I feel every single year this morning and I need a perm.
This picture of the Old Rommny Church in the UK will do. I'm thinking about water today.
The mid-West flooding and the up East heavy rains are just perfect for Holy Week. I'm sorry for those people. Too much water ruins and kills. Too little ruins and kills. You can't cry all the time although I've tried this week.
I cried the other day most of the day. We had a good rain here even if it doesn't make up for all the dry days we've had for the past six months. Cleaned off all the plants then set them growing lickety-split.
Holy Week gets me thinking of grief. Grief makes me cry. I'm just a hanky clutching mess until Sunday. You preachers think we'll miss the boat without all the Holy Week going into Easter things but those of us who know the Story don't. Going from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday is for newcomers. The rest of us understand.
They turned my dang water off at the house. I sent my bill in by electronic computer days ago but it takes ten days or so for the Bank to send a check to the Water Department then the Water Department eats bon bons for a few more days before posting my check. Came home from pruning roses in the Church memorial garden to find a bright yellow tag on my front door. Couldn't flush. Couldn't wash my breakfast dishes left in the sink.
Water, tears, floods, rain, Baptism. Holy Week. Foot Washing. Salted water for the parsley at the Seder Meal.
I nicked my finger pruning roses. Blood ran out, not water but I'm made of water.
I've got a pitcher of filtered water in the refrigerator. I drink it all day after I've had my coffee.
We are all together in this even if we don't know we are.
Time for "The View". Those ladies crack me up.

P.S. The Iraq War is 5 years old today. I can't celebrate.

Aunt Bostick, if we are all in this together, am we your nieces and nephews?
Dear Aunt Bostick, Please notice my error previously - it should read ARE we all your nieces and nephews?
Cathy? Aunt Bostick here.
You are all my nieces and nephews but St. Casserole gets the silver flatware and jewelry.
You are kind to even ask. I'd be proud to be your people.

water water everywhere and not a drop to drink. and shame on them down at the water department for turning off your water. Why they tried that on me last year, and I sent cousin Beuford down there, you know my cousin who ain't just right, and has a shot gun to boot. Well they promptly turned back on and didn't charge me nothing for doing it. You want me to send cousin Beuford down there to take care of this situation. Heck I would send him over to Iraq iffn he weren't crazy already from that other gulf war situation. Bush bush bush, all they want to do is fight.
