I am looking at my computer screen that is currently sitting on the blog site of "Old Friend From Far Away". It is the familiar blue header with the white "B" encircled in the orange.
Just interrupted by an Amber Alert on my cell phone. Isn't technology great!
My laptop is sitting on the my mom's dark brown, round dining room table at my mother's house. I have eight DVD's sitting on the table as well as the book, "Old Friend from Far Away."
Mom is sitting across from me working on balancing her check books.
A crystal vase sits behind my laptop with several pink and white fake flowers.
The crystal chandelier shines brightly as it hangs over the dining room table. The bulbs are bright.
A fan sits on a wooden stool on the right side of the table opposite me. A small buffet sits against the wall on the wall opposite me. A clock from Las Vegas with die for each hour sits on top of the buffet. Several wicker baskets and other knickknacks are on the shelf as well.
The kitchen is to my left with the white refrigerator closest to me. The chandelier shines in the window to my left just above the kitchen sink. A pink rug lays on the floor just below the sink.
The linoleum floor has a pattern made of tiny quarter-inch squares layed haphazardly in beige and white tones. A seam in the linoleum runs across the floor from the middle of the refrigerator to the cabinets below the oven. The floor is ageing and the seam continues to show wear as it buckles creating a gap now chipped from wear and tear.
A picture hangs on the wall to my right, behind the dining room table, with a pink frame. The picture has a saying, "God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference" by Rheinhold Niebuhr.
A typewriter sits on the floor in its gray case to the right of the buffet.
Two round tapestries hang on the wall behind the buffet. One says "Country" and the other says "Welcome."
To the left of the buffet is a pocket doorway leading to the living room. The living room is dark now. A plush beige carpet runs from the living room up to the linoleum with a gold plate connecting the two rooms. Next to the pocket door on the same wall as the light switch hangs a recipe box and three plaques. I cannot read what the plaques say from where I am.
