And thunderstorms are even more delicious. Ummm-mmm. There’s absolutely nothing like the spine-tingling crash of lightening and the sound of a hard rain beating down on the roof to make a girl a bit . . . “giddy.” So as I’m sure you can imagine, when Mother Nature whipped herself into a frenzy this week, I went right along with her.
I opened a bottle of wine from my trip to Riverside, California that I had forever been saving for a special occasion. I lit just enough candles so that I could still gaze deep into my MAN Friend’s sultry eyes. And we listened to the crash and boom of that spectacular thunderstorm as we made mad . . . passionate . . . mind blowing . . .
Oh I'm only teasing you, honey! I haven’t granted “MAN Friend” privileges to any of my current gentleman callers. But since I have peaked your interest - I want to tell you about a few things that I’m passionate about. I spent the past week in a series of meetings that lifted my bonnet a bit, letting some light in, and left me overcome with the burning desire to toot someone’s horn.
I joined fellow Macon Arts Board Members at Vineville Academy for an Arts Advocacy Breakfast in celebration of the Teachers from the Bibb County School System who will be spending part of their Summer vacation at the Bibb County Institute for the Arts.
Those attending will be connected with community artists, arts organizations & cultural groups and will learn how to creatively integrate the arts into daily lesson plans. A Toast to the participants, for putting their students learning experience ahead of spending the day in bed.
On Wednesday, I watched proudly as my darling Josh (Rogers) made a presentation to the Downtown Macon Rotary Club on historic preservation that was absolutely mesmerizing. If you are looking for a speaker to give your next meeting an edge, look no further than Josh. His intimate enthusiasm for preservation will make your heart skip a beat.
Then came Thursday, when Larry Schlesinger brought tears to my eyes with his empassioned pleas for the members of our community who have no “voice.” This evening, our City Council will vote on a resolution to ban the the carbon monoxide gas chamber for euthanizing animals (a process that is misleadingly called “putting them to sleep”) - -Larry, Nancy White & Erick Erickson need your support - - this is IMPORTANT.
Georgia outlawed gas chambers 18 years ago. They are barbaric and cruel . . . but we aren’t. If you’re like most of us, the love and affection that you get from that waggley tailed, cold nosed, furry friend, is something that you can count on . . . EACH and EVERY day, without fail and with awe-inspiring devotion. My dogs, Georgia & Gracie are my angels. But there are animals out there who don’t have monogrammed collars or painted doghouses, and they need us to stand up for them at the meeting. We can’t make sure that every “Tramp” finds his own “Jim Dear and Darling” but we can offer him a peaceful and dignified passing.
City Hall . . . six o’clock . . . please, PLEASE be there!
“Charlie, will I ever see you again? Sure you will, kid. You know goodbyes aren't forever. Then goodbye, Charlie. I love you. Yep . . . I love you too.”
