Billie is just a doll
I went in to deposit my paycheck this morning, peppier than I have been of late. As we chatted, she said, "You know, your name just suits you so well."
"Really? Why's that?"
"Because you're just like a little mermaid." She laughed, "But I bet you've heard that before."
I laughed, too. "Yep; it always used to bug me when I was a kid, because I came before she did..but really, I wanted to be her."
I had to fill out the deposit slip since I had run out of pre-printed ones, so we had some time.
"Well, we're down to 54 days," I said.
"Counting them down, are we?"
"Yep. Well, we have been ever since it was 120 days, but when +Kyle said it was down to 59 the other day, it really struck me. I've got to go around town and get pictures of everyone & everything."
She laughed and told me to make sure to write everyone's name on them so I wouldn't forget.
"I couldn't forget everyone I've met here. You know, we've said ever since we moved here that we'd never be back, but I'm beginning to think that maybe 'never' is too long."
"Yeah, you'll have to come back and visit sometime." She has this perpetual ^_^ on her face.
"Maybe for the Sand Bass Festival sometime - everyone will be there, we wouldn't have to look for anyone."
"Yup! Just sit on the corner and wave as they pass by...just like the little mermaid." We both laughed, and she got my customary roll of quarters...laundry...always laundry...
I'm gonna miss her cheerfulness on Fridays.
