The Price of Salt

This is a novel from 1952 by Patricia Highsmith. The topic was probably very controversial in it's day. A young woman searching for her sexuality. She's living in New York City and trying to get a job working on set designs. She's been dating a young artist but while working a temporary job at a department store, she is captivated by a beautiful 30 something woman. She sends her a card and from that their friendship grows. It's on a trip across country that their fate is sealed. I'm trying to imagine what life would have been like under those circumstances in that time. A very interesting read.

I've found my niche............I've always been a doodler of daisies and now I've discovered that I can paint them so I'll be doing still lifes of pitchers of daisies or maybe vases of daisies. Wonder how many colors of daisies I can do!

This month is worse than July when I have my own birthday. This is the month when my children turn ?? and ??! God, where did those years go? I could try to pretend I wasn't my age if I didn't have kids reminding me constantly of their age.
