Little Mama, Big City

I recently returned home from a month-long stay in Brooklyn with my son (David Lee Rotten) and his boyfriend. We had a wonderful time: went to a couple plays, movies, sightseeing, and just everyday living. I think what I enjoyed most were THE PROJECTS.

Dave and Peter are in the process of creating a lovely apartment in Peter's family home where Dave has a recording studio. Anyone familiar with city living knows that space is at a premium (cliche alert) and smart storage solutions a must.

We cleared out spaces, moved dressers and books and tables and desks and file cabinets and beds. We went through boxes and totes and closets and cupboards. We (by that I mean me) mended and shortened and otherwise made clothing wearable. We (by that I mean they) even discarded unwearable, unused items and things we just didn't need!  We put up shelving and pictures and curtains and more shelving and arranged and rearranged furniture and utensils and linens. We put up backsplash in the kitchen, painted window wells in the studio, installed a pendant light over the table, installed a door stop on the back door. (minor item but major impact)

Just knowing how much more comfortable and beautiful their living space has become makes me happy. Back in Ohio, I can picture them and their home and smile.

    I am a writer living in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. I enjoy thrift shopping, working in the garden, singing karaoke and spending time with my children and grandchildren. I have only recently started writing, and one of my poems, "Song 4 You" has already been adapted to music by my son, David Lee Rotten (of Naked Highway), and will be released in early 2015 on his debut solo album/video project Bound.
