From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree.

Friday, August 18, 2006


Friday was a quiet day. Collette knew that there would likely be one hopping party at Molly’s that night, depending on the enormity of the junior high girls group that was meant to attend. Evangeline, Susie, Rose, and Molly were hosting. Collette had heard rumors of much ice cream and something about “Pretty Pretty Princess”… but such things were mysteries to her. Collette had never participated in a junior high girls’ party, and was rather good with that. What did go on in the mind of a twelve year-old girl?


Meanwhile, Joe’s fantastic ramp had been completed by the cement gang, Thursday afternoon, and was nearly set for a test-drive. He would celebrate by joining the rest of the male crowd for a coffee night. Such were the livelihoods of Friday nights.


That night, the rain came a tumblin’ down.
