To all my Xanga Friends.................

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 

 

thanksgiving

 

Wishing happiness, and many blessings to all of you!!

 

I was in Tampa for two days last week, and they were draining days.

Went back home, and slept, (as I had the day Off) and then cleaned.

I have a doctor appt. tomorrow, and then, will be at work the rest

of the week, including Thanksgiving Day.

 

So, I hope, all of you have a great one.

 

As for me, if I can make it, month to month financially, that's great.

I received a turkey and gift box of food from Walmart, to help me out.

I hate being so needy, all the time, but things are just that tight.

I'll get up early, and start the turkey and other things, and go to work.

Hope my family has a good one, while I'm away.

 

 

God's blessings, to you,

 

R. Hood

Hi everyone, I've been neglectful I suppose.

I don't mean to be, but I've not been writing,

just working really, and when I get home, I'm

bushed.  So I play a little on the computer and

go to bed.

 

I've not forgotten my story though.

 

Work has been stressful as the holidays get nearer.

One good thing, is, that I won a raffle, for needy families,

and they gave us food for a Thanksgiving dinner.

That was really sweet of them, as I wasn't expecting

that.

 

Bills keep climbing, and it's been rough, that way, paying

for prescriptions and everything bedsides.

My daughter lost her wallet again, poor thing.

That was a mess.

My son passed his GRE, and looking for someone to take

him, for a master's.

 

So, all I can do is pray, and that I do, daily.

I can't contain these burdens on my own, that's for sure.

I'll be going to Tampa, this Fri, and Thursday again.

Hubby is doing really well, considering everything.

He changed his hours from 7-5, to 8:30, to 5:30.

It gives him a little more time in the mornings.

 

I miss you guys and hopefully you all haven't forgotten me.

Besides working, I've been guilty of playing computer

games.  I got obsessed with one game, and have been

playing it non stop. lol! That is when I'm not at work.

 

Miss all of you.  Hope you all had a nice Halloween.

That evening, everyone had slept.  When morning came, no one had

bothered to stir with the exception of  Tristan who had run to the small parlor in his

pajamas.   He dragged his favorite toys out, and had set to playing immediately.

He had made small stacks of blocks, placing his  army men all around him.

Bright and early, he began his play, till his stomach rumbled.

Tristan

 

 Happily, Sylvia  was up, and had begun  breakfast.

 “Make me lots of eggs, Miss Sylvia.” Tristan had ran to her. 

 “Yes, my little sir.” Said the maid with a small smile.

 Tristan returned to the floor where he had his army men sweep over

hills, and dales, ready to fight the horrible Genghis Khan.   Seaton had the

older ones studying Genghis Khan.   The younger ones, having overheard

some of the tales.

Seaton

 

 Sienna, and Tempest were the next to rise up, and then Erika Mai.

The others roused slowly out of their beds with Saber, being the last of all of them.

 Raoul was quite hungry this morning, having missed his dinner last night.

Sylvia heaped bacon and eggs, upon his plate.  His eyes lit up in satisfaction.  

Lydia went  by with the coffee pot, and warmed up his cup.  She, stirring in the

 cream and sugar for him.  Lydia having a great affection for her master. 

She’d gladly serve him, married or no.

Lydia

 

 Raoul mumbled his thanks, as he attacked his plate.   Clarice, came to him

with the latest Parisian newspaper.   He opened it, with satisfaction sharing

the other part with his eldest, Edmund, who had just sat down.  

Their morning ritual beginning as usual.

 

 

Edmund

Edmund

 

 Edmund sipped his coffee, as he started to read his section of the paper.  Erika Mai

was eating her own breakfast, while Charlotte entered the room looking quite elegant

in a nice day gown.

Charlotte

 


Sienna happily mashed her eggs together, and made a runny mess

of it all.  She bent her little head down, and ate with great pleasure.

 “Use your fork miss.” Stated Charlotte, who had the unhappy pleasure of

sitting next to her.   She placed  the fork into her small hands.

Sienna

 

 

 

 Sienna looked at her aunt and threw the fork to the side.

 Seaton hid his grin, as he attacked his own breakfast plate.

Lyric

 

 

Things between he,   and his wife Kathleen were going along splendidly now. 

 He was most happy.     They’d been having quite the romantic evenings of late,

and with no interruptions by his father -in-law.  Things were looking up.  

Matters,  having softened between him and his father-in-law since he was no

 longer moving to Lyon.

Seaton

 

 It seemed to him, that Raoul was trying to be kinder  to him, which he was very

pleased with.    The addition to the school room had added some well needed francs

into his pocket.   The  additional children  were a  challenge to him.

 Normand  and Maxwell didn’t always get along with Tristan and Linus.   Though

the boys played.  Tempest did not like Roshelle or  Kassandra.   Things were  always hopping in

the school room these days.  Seaton  had to watch his back.   At times, Maxwell

enjoyed playing  small pranks at his  own expense.

Felicity

 

He was a fiery youngster, that needed  constant supervision.   Always stirring up things

in the school room.  Maxwell reminded him of Julian when he was younger   

 The boy would dip Felicity’s  pig tails into the ink wells, or bother young Juliette.  

He had tried once or twice, to get at Tempest.   Tempest would have

none of it.   She’d  dished  it right back to him,  her  own temper matching his.

Tempest

 

 One afternoon, there had been a big fight between Tempest and Maxwell.

A Halloween poem, to celebrate!

 

 

 

LITANY FOR HALLOWEEN
 

From ghoulies and ghosties,
Long-leggety beasties,
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us.

She had thanked, him, going  to her dresser.  Picking up her hand mirror, she

regarded the  fine lines which were forming upon her face.    Some of

them hadn‘t been there before.   “I’m getting old Raoul.” She’d cried out to him.

  Then, she realized how vain she had  probably had sounded. 

 Erik and Catherine were older than her.   Even, Raoul.  She

having apologized, quickly to him.

 

 

q4133568

 

 Raoul had stood up, and went to stand behind her.  He had smiled at her

from the mirror.    “You are just over-whelmed by all that’s happened.”  

 He touched her lovely  blonde hair, and stroked it.   It had the desired affect.  

 “I can’t blame you or find fault.  It’s been hard on everyone.”

 

 

Blonde woman--comerre

Blonde Christine when younger

 

 

 Christine reached a hand to him, as the pair had gazed at one another in the

mirror.   She spoke to him.  “You are a wonderful husband.  Still so handsome

after all these years.”

 He’d laughed  at that.  “Thank you.”  He kissed her neck,  lightly.  “Come to bed,

darling and put away these foolish notions.  So what, if Carlotta is back

at the opera house.  It’s not the end of the world.”  He’d said to her.  

“You will not lose your place, I assure you.”

 

q102338883

 

 

 She’d went with him willingly, and they lay down, side by side.  Both too

tired to do much of anything in the way of  love making.   Instead, they forego,

their dinners that evening.  Raoul had cuddled Christine to him,

and whispered little endearments into her

ear, till they both had fallen asleep. 

 

 

hands

 

 Edmund had seen  to the children, Saber and the others,  making certain that all was in

readiness within the household.   More, and more, Edmund was becoming a stronger man.

One that was learning to take the burdens upon his own shoulders.

Erika Mai had  regarded him quietly, as he saw to the locking of the

windows and doors.  She  had waited for him.

When he’d done, she stretched her hand out to him.

 He’d taken  her hand, and the pair  had went to bed.

Erika Mai

 

 

Tristan,  was sleeping in the little trundle bed.    Sienna in the small crib

tucked in the corner.  Erika Mai wondered if they would ever have a

 house of their own?   Business was very bad for Edmund.   She hadn’t

been too inspired to write of late.   She hoped, they would one day have a place

of their own.   Like, Erik Maslin she was bewildered at how, Julian had said, that he

was going to buy a house, instead of an apartment.

Julian

 

 

 

She didn’t know how he would manage it?

They’d lost their other apartment?  She wondered what Julian had up his sleeve?

 Kathleen, Seaton and Lyric having retired earlier, were already

fast asleep.   Seaton usually always, went to bed very early, having been known to be

an early riser.

Seaton

 

 

 Charlotte had flopped on the couch for awhile gazing at her magazines,

while her mind went in differing directions.  She then couldn’t stand it a moment

longer.  Going to her bedroom, she’d penned a note to James begging him to answer

her.   Was he angered with her?  What had happened to him?  What was he doing?

She would go mad if he didn’t write to her soon!   Scenting her note with her best

perfume, she sealed it in wax.   She’d send it off, early tomorrow.   Then, Charlotte

had fallen into a troubled slumber.
