of the night! These days, I get delight in picking up my sweetie from his night job at about 1 or 2 in the morning; whenever he calls me. Tonight it was night taxi job. With Em hanging out in the city, to be picked up at 11 which was okay, because I had to pick up Dad(Ben) at 1. (I am usually not the one who does those things. I hate night driving, but not as much now that I can SEE.) The night is full of sights that I have never seen before. Possum crossing the road at a very slow pace and deer dancing in the moonlight. I see everything at night, except people. People here, go to sleep at a supposedly "normal" time. It has taken us years to get used to this. We would be heading out food shopping at 9pm and couldn't find a store open. Now we know that only Walmart can handle our night shopping sprees.
I do miss the night life of New York. But, tonight, I saw a real group of young people in town, on the way to get Ben. It was a sight for sore eyes and in the midst of the group was a young couple, looking intently into eachothers eyes. It is not even Spring and there they were. Love in the midnight hours. I used to think old people were nosey to stop and look at us young people as they did. Now, here I am, peeking at their fun from the outside. I still try to hold onto that look. But the new look in a young couple's eyes when there is a budding romance in real life and in a rural town is breathtaking.
Oh yes, It is Friday and College is in session!
HEY JAYNE YOU BE CAREFUL OUT THERE AT NIGHT .... ITS NOT SAFE
ReplyDeleteSTOP STAREING AT YOUNG LOVERS :) HAHAHA
I couldn't help stareing. They made me remember where I was old. Ben works in this very quaint old fashioned college town. The speed limit is 25 and I talk to Dad in my car on the way to him. I say, Dad you should've been born in Davidson driving the way you did. Remind me to tell you of my night wifely party with the most handsome police officers ;}.
