Dear Mr Biggles

Herbies wife Lesa died one year ago today. I felt really bad for Herbie and also for Emma and
Christopher. Of course I did for Lesas family too and lit a candle for them.

I planned to spend most of the day with Herbie but e wanted to be alone. He has so much
responsibility raising two kids by emself. Of course Lesas sister Andrea helps a lot but still. Today
Matthew and Glori took care of Emma and Christopher so it gave Herbie a break. I am so glad e got
one cuz e almost never does.

Anyway the good part was it meant I finally got to spend more time with Harmony. Were leaving
tomorrow and I dont know when Ill see em again.

Oh this was sweet. I said I didnt see wildflowers like I did last time and Kayla brought me some yellow
flowers! Isnt that sweet? I put them in water but dont know how long theyll last. Kayla is 13 and es
family were at the festival last July and Nathan was Kaylas boyfriend but they arent together anymore.

We had music and somebody asked if anybody played the violin I wish Mindy had bought es! Mindy
plays several instruments.

Oh and we played 1000 Blank White Cards. If you dont know its a card game where each player
makes cards out of half of an index card. Usually you make some new cards for a game although you
can reuse cards. Then you shuffle them all up so you dont know what cards youll get. That way you
cant cheat by making yourself only good cards! You play for points but the cards can be pretty crazy.
They had a lot of old cards cuz they play it a lot. They have a house rule no card gives or loses you
more than 1000 points.

This is who played. It was Harmony, Mindy, Beth, Les, Alexis and me. If you dont know Les is Kaylas
father and Alexis is 10 and the daughter of Vickie and Maddie so e has two moms! Ill tell you about
some of the cards. I got a pleasure saucer card thats Subgenius I guess where the space aliens take
21 points from each player for me. But Alexis played a Space Force card that defeats all space alien
cards so I got nothing! There was a cloved lemon card where you get 100 points from each person
you kiss I think Beth made that one. But if you didnt let Les kiss you lost 1000! Les got it so e got 600
points. Alexis was like 600 thats six players but Les said e kissed emself! lol Really e did on es hand.

One card said tornado takes your house lose -1000 points and I got that one near the end of the first
game so you know I lost! lol Really it doesnt matter who wins its just for fun. It was funny cuz it really
was windy so we went in the motorhome. Beth got a sticky finger card. Beth took a card from each
player without seeing them and so I hoped Beth would get my -1000 point card but e didnt. Beth won
the first game.

The first game was short so we played another. I wont tell you everything that happened of course.
Beth got one to tickle a player. If they laughed Beth would get 500 points but if they didnt Beth would
lose 1000. Alexis said thats not fair then Beth said so youre the one whose ticklish! So Beth got 500
points. I want to tell u a card for each player so just two more. Harmony got a card that was so
complicated nobody could figure it out but Les did so Harmony lost 500 points! Really I think Harmony
made that one cuz if you didnt read it right youd think the player won 500 points. We werent
supposed to argue about politics at the festival but Mindy got a Trump card. It didnt say Donald
Trump just Trump. It said take half the cards from one player and Mindy took two from Harmony.
Harmony said if e had five cards would e have to cut one in half? lol It was funny cuz Mindy got
Harmonys two bad cards and Harmony won!

later

You straight up wont believe what happened tonight! Part of its weird but Ill tell you later.

Beth showed us Chasing Eris by Brenton Clutterbuck. If you don't know Eris is Discordia so its a
Discordian book. Its cool cuz I know people in it! Theres Beth, Fiona and of course Reverend
Loveshade. Theres also this joke that like a dozen people are Revy Loves groupies or sockpuppets
or both! lol

We had a closing ceremony with awards but I wont list them cuz I dont know which names to use. Ill tell
you a couple but not names. Somebody won for most used cloves which meant they got the most
kisses with a cloved lemon. Beth and I gave that award cuz were the Queen and Princess of the
Cloved Lemon. One was funny it was for best new phrase. We had bodypainting and somebody who
does it with fingers asked the one who won for best bodypainting "you use a brush?" So whenever
anybody brushed their teeth or hair somebody would say "you use a brush?" lol

Nobody felt like cooking so we went out for pizza.

Now heres the part you wont believe. Really theres two parts. First Matthew and Glori used my
bedroom! Its not really my bedroom but its where Harmony and I usually stay when were at Fiona,
Dave and Lisas house. But Ill tell you what happened on tomorrows diary cuz thats when I learned.

The other part is Harmony and Mindy stayed in the motorhome and I mean just them! That was really
weird. Harmony and I are not vacation sothers this time I couldnt do that with Herbie ending a year
and a day of mourning for Lesa. And all three of us have stayed together lots of times. But just
Harmony and Mindy? So I dont know. They can do what they want. But still it feels really weird. Im
sorry cuz I know theyll read this but I have to be honest about my feelings even if theyre mixed up.

We had a group sleep with sleeping bags and blankets on the floor we do that when we visit cuz
theres not enough beds. Really there were empty beds in the motorhome but I wont talk about that.
Anyway we finally convinced Herbie it was Ok its strictly platonic. Fiona slept out there too e does that
some times. So it was Herbie, Emma, Randi, Christopher, me, Fiona, and Crissy.

It was hard going to sleep. Im not use to Texas time its two hours later. And I kept thinking about
Harmony and Mindy and Herbie.

Dear Mr Biggles

We had pancakes and eggs for breakfast. Usually I help make breakfast but I didnt this time. Fiona
made some Mickey Mouse pancakes for Emma and Christopher and really for me too. And for
Howlitizer the cat! lol

If you dont know at their house they have musical showers. The way it works is this. They have more
than one bathroom but one has a tub with two shower heads. So somebody goes in then somebody
else goes in with them. Then the first person comes out and somebody else goes in. The rules are
you cant stay in too long and its strictly platonic.

Herbie, Emma and Christopher took a bath in another bathroom cuz Herbies still not used to musical
showers. Anyway in order it was Lisa cuz e had to go to work, Dave, Matthew cuz e was worried e
wouldnt stay platonic with Glori, Raidon, Randi, Fiona, Glori, me, Crissy, Harmony and Mindy. Nobody
ended the platonic rule for Harmony and Mindy so they had to stay platonic at least in the shower.
Mindy told me they didnt last night though. I really didnt need to hear all the details.

I felt really weird like I never wanted to leave but wanted to leave right away and not come back. I
didnt really so dont think that! I just felt confused.

We did huggies and kissies and then said goodbye. It was really weird leaving Harmony I never felt
this way before. It was like I wanted to stay with em and forget everything else. But then I wanted to
get away fast.

Ive always liked Herbie e was my second boyfriend. We had a trial separation cuz I like being free
during summer vacation but we just never got back together. I dont know why. Today its a year and a
day since Lesa died meaning e can start dating tomorrow. Of course really e cant because we are
traveling in a motorhome and visiting the Alamo and other places before we head home . But after we
get home who knows what might happen?

Okay Ill tell you what happened with my little brother Matthew and Glori. They spent the night together
last night of course I knew that. But really Ive slept with ppl before when it was platonic. So Matthew
talked to me but wasnt really saying anything. Then finally e said e gave his vcard. Well I got it totally
wrong cuz I thought e gave somebody a business card? Cuz a vcard can be an electronic business
card. But then of course I knew what e meant I know what a V-Card is! E wasnt a virgin anymore!

So that felt weird. Matthew just turned 16 last month and I was 23 before I first did it? Glori is 17 1/2.
Really age doesnt matter but still. E said they used a condom but it seems weird thinking my little
brother had sex. But Glori is really cool I really like em. But then I was thinking how do two virgins
know what to do? Its straight up different IRL than what you see in a porno! Then Matthew said
something really sweet. E said the best part was waking up in the morning next to Glori. So that got
me teary eyed.

Then Matthew said were going back for Christmas right? Really Matthew said we could go back later
this summer and I was like how? I straight up dont know whats going to happen with my life. Im 30
already. Ive been an elementary school teacher for years and Im a life guard and a high priestess
and I feel like I totally dont know what Im doing. Do you ever get where you know where youre going?
Does anybody really grow up?
