1.19.24 Roger Clements, father of two boys and three daughters, sat on the back porch of his Iowa farmhouse in a camp chair smoking a pipe and looking out at the rain. Little blisses rushed up his core whenever he inhaled the mixed air of cold denim, grease, and the sweet, fig biscuit tobacco. Roger was cozy—and old. His blond youth permanently stained his long hermetic grey beard with streaks of dirty yellow. His ancient denim jacket was tattered, blackened, foul. Worth hundreds of dollars probably.

She could not rest until those screens were taken out and replaced with double pane windows. After they sealed up the sunroom with glass, she made sure that everyone at church knew DeeDee’s sunroom was heaven on earth. Because she could see her property without having to shake her head back and forth. Utter bliss! That was about when she started to go blind.

12.21.23 ...And Eliza was the younger sister who sat there taking in the lightness of conversation between her and her mother like a thirsty fawn, waiting for the moment when Aunt Debbie would look at her after a pause with her green eyes and ask in her low, wined voice, 'And what about you, Ellie? What do you make of the world these days? And how you’ll subdue it?' The way she held the stem of a glass with her long slender fingers covered in big dull blunt dented silver rings like medieval tumors... ...more
