My Father now has a nurse-aid who comes three times a week and has been a godsend to the entire household. Wanda is a lovely, no nonsence African American woman in her late 50's with a tough exterior that hides a heart of gold. She has done wonders for my dad, who at first did not even want to let her in the house. When the agency informed us that there were no white aides available, he reluctantly relented, but I think he is secretly very happy with Wanda being here.
My mother is upset that our neighbor Virginia Owens asked her "why is your son mowing the lawn when you have that colored handyman living over the garage?"
Winn Dixie closed last week after the "super" wal-mart opened across the street. All these idiots in Valdosta think wal-mart is the greatest thing that ever happened to this town. They don't realize that it is killing the local shops.
Talked to my friend Wayne in NY today and got very envious and a little misty eyed when he went on about the upcoming Pet Shop Boys show at Radio City - everyone is going - it's going to be so fabulous!!! bla bla When he noticed I was upset he said "but you've got such a great thing going on down there - country air, little Tara, all those hot southern boys" if he only knew the truth about what our life has become!
Wayne had mentioned that the Pet Shop Boys might be playing the Fox Theatre in Atlanta but when I checked into it I found that some right wing christian group had got upset and convinced the Atlanta yokels that their children would be in danger if these fags came to town and had the show canceled. The Fox will now be hosting a show called "Jesus Jesus" on that night. I kid you not.
