NZ: Day 9




Today we met a lady named Molly. Spiritual gems, glass mosaics, woven quilts and aguet rocks filled her love bus and garden. This dread locked diva touched many of us with her kind words and positive outlook on life. Although her physical possessions didn’t amount to much, she was more content than many will ever be. Along with seeing her amazing set up, we also got learn how to spin wool. Lexi and Lisa got to try it from the captain’s seat and quickly found that it was harder than it looked. You have to use your hands AND your feet! Harlow knew she was something special when he met her four years ago on the beach. His athletes were standing with their toes in the ocean when she came running down the beach screaming, “get out!! It’s dangerous!” It could have been a deal breaker but she revealed today that he was “too delicious to be mad at”. Ew. Though she could sense we were immediately uncomfortable, she assured us that by the time your 60, you can say whatever the h”ll you want. I think Molly will always have a place in our hearts.   -Mardi
