I read your post while traveling and realized I hadn’t written much in the last month. Thanks for the prompt. You always have the best writing prompts. Hang in there ❤️ here’s my mini memoir

8.4.23

Taking this picture of the last day on the road. The moon glows warmly over the strip mall lights bouncing off the fourth floor window of a Tulsa hotel room infused with satisfaction of a Texas Roadhouse baked potato after nine hours of driving. Route 66, and the hum of simon and Garfunkel,s America echoing in my head. A shower, a too hot shower because I’m either too dumb or too tired to figure out yet another shower that isn’t my own. So my skin burns a little. Washing off Albuquerque and Flagstaff. And the high temperature of 109 as the mountains flatten and everything just feels sweltering hot and amazingly beautiful. Laughing at the strangers faces when I rode the elevator with my car trailer hitch and two Stella ciders. The person I was before I left would have waited for the next elevator, always over apologizing and afraid to take up anyone’s space. But i wedged myself between two young couples. Could you press 4 please? That’s who the road made me

Sending you good vibes and love! ✨💛 Last night my friend and I were wandering around in Paris and came across La Diva cafe and stopped to have a drink. I remembered you had also gone there when in Paris and that I had thought it looked fun.☺️
