I resisted this for a while, because I don't like putting many memes on my journal. But, then again, I won't be hunted down by the LiveJournal MemePolice for commenting here but not posting this myself, so here goes.
I remember you coming over to help purpleyarrow and me clean up after we set fire to our house. You were wearing a pair of jeans, a denim button-down shirt, and a shirt underneath (probably a T-shirt). You wound up cleaning all of our dishes, pots, and pans, as I wiped down all of the cabinetry, counters, and floors; purpleyarrow was drying and putting things away after I wiped out the cabinet. You were the only person to show up and help us clean up from our disaster. I seem to recall that we fed you Indian food as payment for your kindness.
I remember when you and I were walking out in the woods last October. I think we were walking off the paths from Sheepsfold Meadow, up in the Fells. We walked along, having a conversation about where we saw part of our lives going, and we crossed paths with a man with the cutest dog. The man told us that the dog was a litter-mate to a dog that had won a championship at a dog show two years ago, but that this one had a defect that would keep it from ever competing. However, this was a very friendly dog, who was very happy to be walked for the first time in a while because the owner was recovering from a surgery.
I remember going to the New York Renaissance Faire with you (By the way, tickets are currently going for an early bird special; would you like to go this year too?). You wore your green bodice, though you tried to wear your red. You and I spent a good time wandering around, experiencing various acts, including The Crimson Pirates, and a very entertaining stage magician. We had quite a lot of fun, including sitting on the back bumper of your car while eating cheese and bread.
I remember how beautiful you looked in your blue silk Mandarin dress on the night of your company holiday cruise around Boston Harbor.
I remember seeing you around your family, including your nieces and your nephew. Your face lights up at their names, much less their presence. You adored how your niece and nephew would dance together to Sleeping Beauty; you loved that your niece won her girl scout baking competition. You positively glowed all week.
You had such fun playing hide-and-seek with your niece. Where's B_____? Is she under the bed? Noooooo.... Is she behind the chair? Noooooo.... Is she under the lamp? Noooooo.... Is she under the cushions? Noooooo....
You know, as I started this out, I had troubles coming up with memories that weren't intensely personal. However, as I got going, it became easier and easier. You're quite a memorable woman!
