This courtyard was right outside my door at Clarion Suites.
It was peaceful there; a refuge in a time of sadness for me.
When I walked to the cabana to get coffee before dawn,
the large fountain in the middle of the courtyard
would already be full of bathing hummingbirds.
I brought my coffee there, pulled up a chair
and watched them fly & bathe;
there were many nests in the courtyard trees.
Dity's sister Jopie drove over from San Diego,
along with her companion, Bill.
She brought along a few clothes & accessories
for Dity to "shop" through in my room.
My Mother always loved shoes . . . Imelda Marcos had nothing on her
in her youth before The War, I've been told!
