Are you singing it with me? I had to learn that song on the Hammond organ as a child.

The leaves aren’t brown with a gray sky quite yet, but the oppressive 90 deg F temperatures I returned to in Ohio are predicted to go bye-bye after today. Praise Jesus. And no, I don’t like pumpkin spice lattes. I love me some cinnamon and nutmeg, but you can keep your sugar water.
I do occasionally try a pumpkin spice thing. There was a Greek yogurt recently that was pretty good. And I need to see if the grocery is stocking pumpkin gnocchi again. Delicious with sautéed onion, zucchini, and a basic white sauce with a dash of nutmeg.
Em, we can make a roux!
Last week was a wild one on the movie set. Circa 1200 Assisi, Italy was reconstructed in my buddy’s backyard. Why? Because we can.
I worked long hours, didn’t get much sleep, and the schedule changed. Exactly as expected.
New friendships were made and I learned lots.
I nearly passed out from the one day of 90 deg temps. I was drinking lots of water, but can you really drink enough in those conditions? I learned to snack more often and had Sbux throw a banana in my order every day.
New inside jokes were created.
My feet got spray painted.
I got to use my just-enough-to-be-dangerous knowledge of Latin.
The funny thing is … I did a Google image search as instructed for an example of what to copy. I kept saying, “I think this is Genesis, I’m not sure.” I understood just enough of what I was writing to catch the occasional, “And God said,” or something about light. Several days later I went back to the webpage I bookmarked. It says “Genesis” at the top.
I may be able to translate Latin in the middle of the night, but don’t expect me to notice the obvious, I guess.
I added new music to my phone.
I visited the beach three times. Because what do you do when wrapping for the day (night?) at 7:30am when you’ve been there since 4pm? You stop for coffee and then go sleep a couple hours on the sand.
I got to bring home avocados.
By the time all was said and done, I helped with sound … set design (arts & crafts time, just my speed) … random errands … and slate. Slate as in the person with the clapboard who says, “Scene blah, take whatever.” Look for Super Slate Girl in the outtakes.
For now it’s onward to Ragamuffin Camp planning … pre-production for the next phase of the St. Francis movie (oh wait, there’s more!) … adjusting to re-entry from a mountaintop experience … and attempting to catch up on sleep. Am I on Eastern time? Pacific time? I have no idea. Pass the coffee.
