Wanna stay for dinner?!.....Wanna stay forever?!!

if there had been no peace fest this weekend or if telephones weren't invented halloween would have been really boring and really sad and pathetic. but (yay!) there was peace fest this weekend and the telephone was invented and there are actually telephone lines that reach hemingway, s.c. (gasp!). peace fest was a bit of a flop if you are counting the number of people that showed up. not as many people showed up as we would have liked but that was out of our control. but for me, peace fest was absolutely wonderful. i was adopted, got to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather for once, was moving around having tons to do, and there were more than four people at dinner!! and that was just on saturday. on sunday i got to sleep in , take my time getting up,then i got to hand squeeze a bags of lemons for lemonade, got stuffed off of real southern cooking, and got to have some of the best brownies i have ever had.

it was nice to actually have people around and i was sad when mid-afternoon rolled around and everyone had to leave. "wanna stay for dinner?--wanna stay forever!!??" is what a small part of me wanted to scream as they said goodbye. okay, i lie. the majority of me wanted to scream as they said goodbye. then i went back to my trailer to find something to do for the rest of the night. right when i was starting to feel sad (that besides it was a eventful and fun day, in no way did it feel like halloween) i got one of the best phone calls of my life. OF MY LIFE PEOPLE, of my life! [much in part because due to the fact of the lack of people, i have become beyond talkative on the phone. i know, me!? the former ms. not a phone person of the century] and do you know who was on the other end of this phone call? well there was... my dad, tah, katana, chris, vahid, katana (again), my mom, daniel, kaylan, mady, matt , mady (again because matt left me!!), and matt (who decided to come back to talk to me).

it turns out that while trick or treating vahid (who used to live in batavia) saw that the lights were on in the house so he opened their door and walked right in and said, "hello! trick or treat! hi. i'm vahid. i used to live here, but now i don't. i live somewhere else now. but i used to live down the street."

[on the phone]
katana: anya, you come to play now?
me: not right now, but in december i will.
katana: you play with us? i miss you.

vahid: sometimes, when i am playing the games that we used to play together, it makes me think of you and i get sad. i miss you anya.

katana (the second time): you babysit us?
me: not today, but in december i will!
katana: anya?
me: yes katana?
katana: i love you.

mady: yeah at night vahid looks at the picture you gave him, which is on his night stand, rubs it... you know, like how he like to rub people's cheek when he wants them to make them do what he wants... and says, "i miss you anya." then gives it a hug from his bed and then says, "i'm going to say a prayer for anya now" and says the Blessed is the Spot prayer.

my heart melted, much like when i saw this picture. oh my goodness, what a heartmelter!

happy election day!
