I AM DEEPLY DEPRESSED OVER THE LOSS OF A PASTEL PAINTING THAT I FOOLISHLY LEFT IN THE EMPTY OAKLEAF ARTS STUDIO LAST MONTH, ALONG WITH A SIGNED NOTE. IT DEPICTED A BIG-EYED KITTEN AND A TURTLE LOOKING CURIOUSLY AT EACH OTHER AND WAS PAINTED 50 YEARS AGO. RESIDENTS HAD BEEN ASKED TO SUBMIT ORIGINAL ARTWORK FOR THE NEW CAFE DISPLAY BY NOVEMBER 5TH.

MY SUBMISSION WAS A WEEK LATE.
DURING NIGHTS OF REMORSEFUL INSOMNIA, I PICTURED
MYSELF RESPONDING TO THE REQUEST ON TIME AND HANDING MY TREASURE TO WHOEVER WAS
IN CHARGE.
IF ANY
OF YOU IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD OR IN LINDEN PONDS COMMUNITY HAPPEN TO
SEE THE CURIOUS KITTEN AND TURTLE, PLEASE URGE WHOEVER BORROWED IT TO DROP IT OFF AT ONE OF
THE FRONT DESKS WITH MY NAME AFFIXED. YOU WOULD MAKE A 93-YEAR-OLD
RESIDENT DELIRIOUSLY HAPPY AND GRATEFUL.

ReplyDeleteI WAS MOMENTARILY THRILLED WHEN A LARGE, HEAVY MANILA ENVELOPE WAS LEFT AT MY FRONT DOOR. THE EUPHORIA DIDN'T LAST -- IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD ORDERED RECENTLY.
BACK TO GRIEVING OVER THE LOSS OF MY PAINTINGS.
It turned out that a Linden Ponds committee member had taken my painting to be in an exhibit in another building – but failed to notify me. Son Tim collected it for me.
