Nikela requested a haircut. I made a call. The thick accent and no need to make an appointment scared me after Ron's experience. I made another call. An appointment with Amanda.
As Amanda clipped Nikela's locks, she chatted. Suddenly, she was excited to hear that we once lived in Montana. As stories unfolded, we discovered Amanda grew up in northeastern Montana.
Together everyone talked and chatted about all things familiar to us and memories of home--including the speeding ticket she received in Belle Fourche, SD.
Then, the anticipation for trips home for the holidays was obvious. She is younger. She has been in California four years. We are all a bit homesick.
Snow. Cold mornings. All the things that herald the season. AND family.
Yesterday in San Mateo we found a friend whose heart is close to the land and country we miss so.
Indeed it is a small world, and we find each other at the best moments.
PS Nikela left with her eyebrows intact.
