Blue Sailing Sunsets


The thing that was needed to check to see what was going on with the RV, was an unknown factor, and Sergio was stumped again. It could have been so many things that had gone wrong, so it was a matter of doing the following thought with what it could be. Sergio was aware that the dream was his alone to keep the RV, and the Piper was done with it. The facts remain, that the fire last year in the RV, was something the Piper had not overcame. The things that you could do in a RV, was not a replacement for a house, and the expenses for the RV were not the same. Piper and Sergio were stuck in a parking lot, searching for a place in San Diego, this time, and it was a matter of credit that prevented them from securing a better place for them.

There are thoughts of how to carry on, that Piper was pondering, and the pros and the cons for the duration were in question. Piper had a son, that had gotten in trouble when he was fourteen, and he has been paying the price since then. It was the reason Sergio, thought he needed to prove something, to get back in the good graces of Piper. Piper’s son had been taken from Doug, because he did not know how to act. Doug the father, lost his place because he was trying to maintain control, and he lost it. Brandon, the son of Piper, is at the point to finish high school, and needed to know what to do next, and it was going to be a difficult turn in his frame of mind, that was needed now.

We could look at the last day,  that was spent with Brandon, and what happen.  He came to visit, his mother Piper, and Sergio did not know how to cover up, the fact, that his money was gone. It was a matter of saving face, because of the Spanish man label, to be a provider, and Sergio did not have the background, to be a great man. So he was having a hard time with that, and the fact that he wanted to appear better than he was. And Piper was not able to continue to sing his praises, because she was losing faith, trust and love for Sergio, and had a hard time getting over the things that he had done to her. It had been a long hard spring this year. There were so many things that had happen, and it was time to move on, and it was going to be a hard thing to do.

Moving on, and moving away is the thoughts of Piper today, and how to get things back on track without the baggage of Sergio, and finding a place to have Brandon, is the main focus, for her. How to get a place to start over was the reason, that they were stuck in the parking lot. Every day it was a matter of searching for the one person, ready to open up their house and their lives to house Piper and Sergio. So the banners are out, and displayed all over the internet, for a couple to assist with daily living activities for others. There has not been any takers, for the offer so far, and it could have been a matter of the right tag words, just not sure why there was not any calls for the services that we had on the table. It is time to find something that will work, or it is back to Upland to see the Cattle callers again, for yard sale of the month.

Enough of that, time to think about the fun, that they will have, when the clowns come out at night. It is the season for the fools, clowns, jokers, jesters, and the queens on the scene, and all the colors that will shine. It is the reason for the month of October, and the clothes will be out of this world. Piper has her hairstyle picked out, and it will be a matter of being in a blue state, and it was one of the things that she had time to get ready for. So for the October fest, and the masked party, Piper was going to be a devil in a blue dress, and have legs covered with cheetah skin. It was time to think about what Sergio could were to match the theme she is going to set. That is something that we will have to look into a little latter.

 And wonder how many of the old folks with be able to get in touch with the kids within themselves again, or not if they forget what fun and being childlike is about. It is something that should never be lost, but some people, are born old, and age a lot faster than others. The others will be ready to have a trick or treat, with the others that they come across, and it was just a matter of how strong the kid within is, on how many days they will act out. The mazes of corn, were started to become colorful, and it would be a test of who can spent the most money, and how many people will show up for the events that had been planned. Sissy and Paula Campbell, were our cousins, and they were in the top of the list for the best set up so far, for the scary houses. Not sure where they came up with their ideas but they are far out there. So maybe we will reach our goals for the fundraiser this season. Time will tell, and I guess we will have to wait and see, if the other shoe will fall on the issues between Piper and Sergio.

It was time now to get to the boat before it left dock, and the twins were late again, and we all wonder how come they had not been given the wrong time, off by at least 15 minutes. The sails were down, and the wind was strong and weak as it blew that late Friday evening. The Hardaway’s, Campbell’s, Smiths and Doces were the first to show up and the rest had been getting to the restaurant off the pier for the last half and hour. So we had a large group that had started to get together, and we were taking the ferry to Blake Island, for the Indians to do their show with dinner. It was going to be a total of 87 in our group tonight and so far we had everybody except for Tuna and the boys, and they should be here any time now.

This was not the first time that we had gotten together for a family event; it was just another one, that in order to get people there on time, you have to adjust the time for the late comers. It was one thing to always have to wait for a few, but in the end it does get old. So we have to tell them a different time in order to have them present at the appointed time. Is it being truthful and honest, to give the twenty people that like to show up a hour late, a different time to start, so that the rest of us, do not lose money for now being there for things that cannot wait, like planes, trains, and boats? Do you lie to them about the time to start, or you tell them that they cannot wait, and just hope that they make it? There are other ways to be truthful and honest, with and get the people to the events for the family.

There we were a group of 87 people from four generations, sitting on the docks of the Queen Bee, the ship that we were going to sail on for a short weekend trip up the coast of California. It was a clear blue sky, with animal shapes dancing in the wind in the clouds, and it was a great way to entertain the kids. We were watching the clowns play with the balloons, and making more animals out of the balloons at the request of the kids. Cats, dogs, birds, turtles, swans, geese and armada were the request of some of the kids for the shapes designs for the balloons that the clowns were using for the show. It was a lot of fun, when you go with a group that you are related to, and this was going to be the best one yet. We were all gather on the deck of the Queen Bee, and it was going to be smooth sailing for us.  A cruise to the wine country, was just what the doctors ordered for, and it was also a break from life in the rv, without thinking about how much it was going to cost this time, and where the money was coming from.

We are going to be able to forget about the problems that we had, and do a song and dance about the great life we have, and how we are still in escrow waiting for a house to close. In was always in that stage to explain the life in the RV, because it was Sergio’s way of dressing up the fact that we were homeless. He never wanted to face the facts, and the stories that he came up with where nowhere close to reality. Never knowing where you were going to end up for the night in the rv, and it was a hit or miss if we could carry on after that, and how long we were able to stay at places camping in that RV. Then there were the calls during the night for the trades of favors, and attention, and the clouds in the air at night to live thought, and all the views of the cattle callers to come to pull the short hairs again.

It is the fag hag again Sheri Cattle caller, that is too bigs for her pants, so she wears Sergio’s also, it’s the bald headed baby again Rocky, the Jewish Rock Star, cannot find a daddy with cash. Granddaddy will have to do, because daddy cannot, and the hairdresser wants to bitch about everything still, and what she can do with the short hairs, she will depends on if she can find a kat or not for the cream. $37,000 in a year for Sergio to smoke was not enough, so he had to go and wish for another star to fund his sex with men and use Piper as a cover is gone, for the moment, and it was all about the truthfulness and honesty about the car.

It came out in the end, that a fake key was made for the intention of stealing the car, because he wanted a Mercedes to drive.  He had told piper it was for love and devotion, the reason he stole the car, never telling the other part, about how it was towed to keep it off the road, and that he wanted another car to drive.  It was at Randy’s house after it got towed there of course. This had not been anything to talk about ever, just that the buffalos picture ended up in the trash, and it was about the pleasure in the frame to jack to, is what Piper always thought. It was a twisted father daughter thing that they had going on, and it was okay with everyone in that army of frogs. The calls to the high school, for the excuse about the curse and the aunt in town, and the head was going for the twin features, so could daddy call and talk about the blood? Why not, just wanted to know if the second bag had been collected yet, was the question Sergio wanted to know?

Enough, back to the boat, and the 87 members of our clan going on a cruise, and the clowns, jokers, hairdressers,  cattle callers and the rest of the four layers still alive, it is time to forget about the problems and have a blast of a day. Not just one day but three whole days sailing on lone the coast of California, and the stories, the tales, the tips, tweets, and pictures also, that we will have to remember of the joy and the pleasure of sailing on into the sunset again and again.

Skating on Ice
One of the things that I wanted to look into was skating on ice, and just the other day I came across a book on skating that, took me back to my days on ice. The Passion to Skate, is written by Sandra Bezic with David Hayes, and it took me back to the times that I spent on ice. Not that I was ever that good, just that I liked to skate, and it was another way to be out and about, and to look good doing it. It was just a fun way to exercise for me most of the time. And it was a way to get to meet and greet people that had different levels of skills on the ice. How well you do is something that you need to decide, and if you want to be good, then it is something that you will need to work on over and over again. It is a matter of practice makes perfect, it teaches so many skills, and if you like to skate, it is just a matter of enjoyment.Blue Skies Darkness.

There is a time or two that I recall more about the time that I spent on the ice growing up that I wanted to recall and share with you. It may not have been much, but I had a good time doing it, and it brought pleasure and joy to all of us. It was not as if we were great, just that we liked to spent time doing that. It was a group of us that used to meet on the weekend at the skating ring on Sundays. It was the time we were suppose to be in church, and for us this was church for us, and we liked it better also. On the ice we did not have to listen to some songbird singing the people with cash for the cause of the month, other than to supply the money for better and more for the mouth piece that ran the church. So ice skating was the trade off, and it was so much better, to us it was best on Sundays. Now it is time to lighten up.

The first time that we took Johnny skating was so funny, it was like he forgot how to skate, and he kept falling. Sometimes when people fall they can put on a great show, and they are funny falling, it was a thing about the attention that was needed.  Every Sunday that we met, it was all about the colors, and we all wore all the same colors. It was great to be part of a group, but enough about that, what about Johnny is the subject that we are averring now. There was a time or two that we got to together dress as animals. We dress as farm animals. Let’s see we had a cow, chicken, fox, wolf, and two more hens. The cows were the easiest to make for the time that we had on the ice. It was a matter of sweats, for the animals we could buy the colors of the animals than change them in small ways to suit the animal that we wanted to be. Around and around the ace is what were did knots of the time, and we could get into some of the moves.Blue Skies Darkness.

We were always able to do other games on ice, we had the ice first then it was cleared for the skaters with sticks. Never stayed to watch the games, did not like them much, like the other type of skating better. It was a new activity that had started when Jesus died,  and Jesse was not able to go on without his twin, so we had to start doing different things, to help ease the pain of his death. It was just so sad how he had died, and it was a waste also. They were going to be fourty two the year he died, he had gone off alone to be alone, and it hurt Jesse so much that he did not know what his other half ,that had shared so much with him.

Ice skating was an escape for all of us, and the group that we met on the ice were like another family, and because the church group came at the same time we were able to talk about things. There was the one time when Doug got in trouble and went to jail for hitting Brandon, and Brandon thought it was his fault, it was not and it took a lot of talking to let him know that his dad was wrong.  His dad was in time out, and he was going to be fine, and it would have been if things had been different.  All the papers were in place to change the living arrangements, and then Mercy forgot who she was talking to and lost her grip.Blue Skies Darkness.

The time to reflected on the changes that were put in place started so long ago, and the lessons learn were hard to understand.Blue Skies Darkness. Skating on Ice. later light!๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜ธ๐ŸพSole Sisters: The Joys and Pains of Single Black Women: Deborah Calip: Blast To The Past.
