So here’s some more of that Sissy and Buck thang 😉
Lunch At The Napoleon House
Sissy and her Aunt Tina were lunching at the Napoleon House Bar. The New Orleans humidity and heat were creating a steamy atmosphere, and early afternoon was dying for a cooling rain.
“So I’m leaving tomorrow for the Norway farm.” Sissy took a sip of her Brandy Alexander. “These are just the best!”
“I suppose they would be at 1PM on a Tuesday.” Tina rolled her eyes. “Isn’t Buck getting discharged next week from – you know…”
“The crazy house? Yes. Next Wednesday.”
“Oh Sissy!” Tina did another eye thing. “I didn’t know Buck farmed.”
“He doesn’t.”

We visited New Orleans a couple years before Katrina. Enjoyed the cool rains in the afternoon, but hated the stifling humidity afterward. You did a great job with the dialogue and “eye things” I could just see these two southern gals.

Hi Russell 🙂 I don’t know how I’ve managed to miss some of these comments.
Oh yes! The sauna after the rain. I lived there 50 years and remember that soooo clearly. Of course, now that I’m living in California I miss that sauna feeling. I’m glad you liked this piece…

Hello, Ellespeth! It’s been too long since I’ve visited your blog. What a funny story this was 🙂 I love the eye rolls and the simple but effective way Sissy makes it known that she will be leaving without Buck. And you have other Sissy and Buck stories? I must explore … 😉

Ellespeth, Good description of a conversation and atmosphere. It looks like Sissy isn’t going to be around for Buck’s release. I can see the conversation. Well written as usual. 🙂 —Susan

I think my favorite line is, “Tina did another eye thing.” Reminds me of how children do “eye things” for all sorts of reasons.

I like the idea of “afternoon… dying for a cooling rain”. My office is a bit like that at the moment, though rain inside would be bad 🙂

I’m glad I don’t experience that kind of heat any longer. Hopefully your week end will be cooler…thanks for reading, doc, and for your comment.

I lived there 50 years and – oh boy – now that I live in California, I miss the rain and the humidity and, of course. the Brandy Alexaders 🙂 I hope you will visit one day!
