62. The 90s

As the morning begins to lose its cool, fresh feeling, I think about how nice it is to be able to open up these two windows in the big room. Remember, these windows were put in as part of the renovation when we bought the house. I remember, after these windows were put in, in that spring of 2000, I vented some pique at mother for her way of covering up windows with furniture and hence keeping the windows permanently shut, despite my pleas to stop doing that. I chided her, “Maybe we should move the china cabinet here now!” She understood and laughed. She did not put in these windows just to cover them up and keep them shut, thank god!
