half of a young couple from Ireland

Last night half of a young couple from Ireland walked out of the bathroom and stood in the hallway grinning huge.
He was only wearing the smile and some boxer briefs. ""I'm in me Boxas." he said before walking into his room like it's a carnival ride.
His outfit was more brief than boxer but nobody complained (especially his wife I'm sure).
Glad to hear they are having fun in the Portland.
b't'w' he wasn't the first country represented in the underwear show.
Last year we had a Japanese fella give us a Funduchi demonstration of traditional men's underwear.
That was very cheeky and educational.
Lots of folks run around our house in skivvies, but it's none of our beeswax unless they somehow say "Get a load a me" then we are happy to sit and be the audience for a change.

That's not a good thing, She was talking about diet, temperament and level of awareness.
She was not looking forward to returning to her insufferable hosts.
She had a magical week here in Puddletown and now has to go back to The Sunshine state to complete an advanced degree.
We gave her a good send-off.

Belmont street fair 2019

empty nesters

A young man from Denmark is in one of the rooms. He is keeping to himself.
Works for me, The other room has a nice couple from Seattle.
This is their first weekend being "Empty Nesters"
The couple dropped their son off in the Burbs and decided to have a Portland weekend.
As the two arrived on the dark porch I was sitting in the dark wearing only a kilt and fishnets,
talking to you on the internet, practicing a YoYo with my big toe and chomping on a joint the size of a jumbo crayon. I wasn't expecting company.
I fell all over myself trying to get me together. I dropped the cherry of my joint down my leg, lost my yoyo and spilled my coffee, then I clamored over to the keypad and typed them in.
They just looked at me smiling like I was a raccoon with a jar stuck on my head.
I showed them the house and rooms. She loved talking to Olive and I because we both had lots of the day's residual glitter on still. We sparkle when we talk.
After they showered and slept a bit they met me back out front.
The two had taken 19 y.o.kid on a last family camping trip.
They camped next to a Latino family. Across the river another family were upset at the brown family's existence.
They we shouting about the wall and "go back" epithets while parading around with guns.
So the family decided to crank up some Do Wop music to drown them out.
The Latinos family were all into that they said.
After the camping trip they dropped Sonny off with his Dad.
Dad said "You going to Portland? Watch out...they got them Antiffas down there and they WILL jump you."
(I listen to the cop radio a lot. The people getting jumped are typically gay or black.)
She told her Ex. "I'm not a fascist so I'll be fine." Of course what she found was more friendly people than she has seen in a long time. They love how nice we are around here compared to the Emerald City.
We talked about the whole "empty nest" situation. I was excited for them.
Great time to reinvent themselves and they know it.
We said goodnight. I didn't get to say goodbye to them but they left a lovely review about us.

New bathroom each time.

I thought I would be grossed out by living with so many folks who use the same bathroom.
I found out that this place gets cleaned so often it's like getting a new paper towel.
New bathroom every time.
Those rooms are the cleanest places I ever lived.
It's a palace next to the gritty punk house bathrooms I used to share.
