There was a time when i looked forward to picking up The Land & The Sea at my in-laws, because it gave me time to visit with my mother-in-law, exchange quips, gush over the girls.
When i arrived today, the girls were waiting at the door in their coats and came right outside as i drove up. i realized it was time to move into that next phase of the divorce: dissolving whatever relationship i had to make room for him.
At every turn, this whole divorce manages to become more and more plaintive.
On a lighter note, as i drove down the road to their house, i spotted a doe at the side of the road, common for the area. Except the doe was standing square between two cement posts with a chain running between them, and for a minute i thought she was responsible for letting other deer into this exclusive part of the woods.
My mother-in-law would have thought this hilarious. My ex-mother-in-law.
