Happy birthday Myrna.

May 19, Avella.

We're swimming in mud, sinking and sliding, every trailer except Myrna the cook had to be pulled in with a tractor. It is nice clay, said Myrna, we could make pottery. It is her birthday today. Lucky Eddie and Vickie wished her a happy birthday when she arrived, last on the lot, and she said she couldn't remember whether she was 36 or born in 36. I think I'll be 27, she added as final words on the subject.
Myrna is a story in itself, one that I hope to learn about soon; she's been in the circus all her life, I've been wanting to interview her since the beginning of the season but haven't had the time; when the circus programs are finally done I'll be able to go back to story telling, the fun stuff.
