Batesville
Cindy Maddera
A long time ago Chris and I were headed out on a road trip when we passed a Batesville Casket Company truck. Normally, people would see this as a bad omen. But Chris and I are sick people and we took the sighting as a good sign, that the trip ahead was going to be fantastic. Ever since then the Batesville Casket Company has been our lucky charm. It's been a while since we've seen one though. On Saturday, as we were making our way to the Farmer's Market, I saw a small Batesville Casket Company truck pass us heading in the other direction. I looked at Chris and said that today was going to be a good day. And it was a great day! We went to the Farmer's Market. We went to the Deluxe Craft Bizarre. I bought a couple of beautiful charms by the most talented and awesome Haley Luna. We had a good lunch. We tooled around Blue 7. We went to our favorite Tea House that we always forget to go to. We ordered Christmas shrimp. We bought booze. We took home a pizza from the newly re-opened Sauced. We finished the Christmas cards!
Then, I woke up this morning around 6:15 AM, the time I'm usually sitting down for meditation. Apparently there was an alarm clock malfunction. Now Manic Monday by the Bangles is playing in my head.
