'n About
with Martha
It has been great to get in-
to the "thick of things" again
- I didn't realize that I had
slowed down so Much It.
seems to me I have been
busy enough each day - but it
has been my own little busy-
noss. 1 have been missing the
groups and the crowds.
I like people.1 watch peo-
ple their faces, their ac-
tions, their moods. I feel
their thoughts so many tunes
that we seem to say things
without speaking. THAT is a
very special thing to me.
Sort of sacred. When I am in
a crowd at the stores
perhaps, I find myself mak-
ing remarks or :saying little
things to people 1 don't even
know. Somehow it seems
easy to do and I enjoy it.
I think of all the times that
I have been LOST, I have
had a good day; anyway. I
wasn't upset - sometimes
I've been very frustrated
and when alone, I give
myself a scolding - out loud.
But unless I'm in a big rush
or have a deadline to. meet it
doesn't upset me.
I find that often I get so ab-
sorbed in what .I'm doing
that time flies by and then
I'm in a tizzy. Quite often it
has been the other person
saying "Where's Martha?"
that- the thought strikes me
and I make a dash for the
door.
One night last week so-
meone said, "This would be
a good night for a card
game" and I agreed. But I
had a little nagging feeling
that I had something else to
do. I looked for a note at the
'phone - nothing - so I played
cards. The next night I had
promised to go out and play
, bridge, then suddenly realiz-
ed I had promisedto go to a
_shower.:1..1 dashed ...around
wrapping a gift and since
I'm not too keen on showers,
decided to drop off the gift
and go to the bridge game.
There was no one - no cars --
all quiet at the shower - it
had been the night before!
THAT was why I had that ,
feeling! I was embarrassed.
No harm 'done - but I'm
sure the girl who went to a
lot of trouble inviting people
to a shower, must have been
upset when I hadn't even;
called to make my excuses. I
always feel terrible about
such a happening. •Do you
'ever do such things? I can
find some excuses - but I
usually blurt out the truth.
It's easter that way since I
believe you have to have a
VERY good memory to tell a
lie and I can't be bothered
with lies. Also, I am a pro-
crastinator and THAT too is
a very bad habit. But I hope
to carry on in the world and
get by without hurting
anyone, badly. I will try to
let those dear to me know I
DO love them and . those
others I meet \ in this life, that
I do LIKE them.
There now, I haven't talk-
ed this way to you before -
have I? Sometimes it is good
for a person to write about,
,their feelings - I don't know if
I feel better or guilty! Oh
well.
I really enjoyed the
gathering of the clan of the
Signalites Saturday night. It
was so nice to meet the hus-
band or wife of the people
you've known for some time.
It was a lovely - no not "love-
ly"• that sounds like a
beautiful ballroom affair - it
was a great rodeo party.
About half of them had on
cowboy boots, the rest - me
too - had on running shoes
and everyone enjoyed the
best darned pork roast
they've had in years! The
food was just great and
everyone had a wonderful
time talking to everyone -
and I mean everyone. There
was music for dancing - and
every little while they had
fun dancing but most of the
time was spent in TALKING
Monday morning has turn-
ed out sunny - that icy cold
blast we had over the
weekend really scared me -
is it time to go or should I
have the car checked for the
winter weather. It is a
Southerner and I'm sure the
rad will -freeze instantly.
• It was nice to see so many
books turn up fit the Livery
Theatre book and bake sale.
They were appreciated and
will take more if you have
them.
Make a note on your calen-
dar for the Christmas Coun-
try Fair, Wednesday, Oc-
Ober 20 and Saturday,. Oc-
.Ober -23,-same place -
Saltford Valley Hall. It is
great to see such excellent
craft pieces and the people
who do them. No wonder the
show is always packed - they
have a good following.
And a small notice - my
paintings will be shown THIS
week at Suncoast Mall on
ThurSday, Friday and Satur-
day, September 2, 3 and 4. I
hope you enjoy them. ,
Love, Marllia.
