Out for coffee with Piper’s BFF
Thanks for inviting me out today. I love coffee.
I’m glad you could come what’s your favorite?
Lavender latte with extra cream or anything spicy
What are your plans today?
Today I’m painting the preschool room in Piper’s academy. Music notes butterflies, positive sayings…you know fun stuff.
What exactly do you do for Piper?
Paint, decorate, run errands, she’s not my full-time job I have an art studio in the little shed in my backyard and sell my pieces at various shops around Cranberry Harbor. I teach some classes at the academy too.
How old are you?
29
Are you married?
No, I haven’t met the right one. I’m a bit wary—my dad left my mom and us kids when I was a teenager. I don’t want that kind of guy. I don’t date often.
What are you afraid of?
Well like I said marrying the wrong kind of guy, I’m also afraid of spiders.
What do you love?
Coffee, tea, flowers–my favorite is daisies, color, art, country music—Piper hates that about me haha—a good book, friends, this town,
Did you grow up here?
No, we moved here after my dad left my mom when I was a kid. It’s home.
Do you see your dad?
Very rarely. He has a whole new family wife, kids, and dog–the works. It is weird
Hurts too?
Yeah
What’s your style?
Boho hippie eclectic I love to wear funky prints flowers, loose stuff. Ugly 70s things from the thrift store
Do you go to church?
Yes same church as Piper Grace
Does your faith help you through hard things?
Yes, it does but sometimes I am not as close to God as I wish I were. I mean I know he’s there but then I get busy or I get overwhelmed with life or I get mad about my dad and I step away.
I understand that. Can I pray for you?
Absolutely
What’s your favorite thing about church?
Well other than the teaching I love helping in the baby nursery. They’re so sweet. I tried helping with the teenagers but they wear me out.
Do you participate in a singles group?”
eye roll –sometimes but that feels like a bunch of sweet girls and loser guys. It’s going nowhere. Other than the new single pastor they brought on—he’s kinda cute.
What’s your favorite meal?
Piper’s mom’s pasta but I also love anything Mexican and a big juicy steak.
How tall are you?
5’ 2”
Bad habits?
I talk too much. I laugh at inappropriate things or inappropriate times. I don’t realize that it’s a bad time to say something. I eat way too many sweets–but never chocolate– and I lick my fingers when something is yummy.
Any good habits?
I am loyal and trustworthy. I am cheerful. I am fun. I am creative. I am helpful. I see and hear things people need and try to be sure they’re taken care of. I like to help others express their God-given creativity through art and teach them techniques to help them improve.
Do you cook?
Ha! No. I’m more of a baker than a cook. My specialty is a butter cake.
Where do you live?
My house is close to the beach about a block away. I can hear the lake at night sometimes in the summer.
Do you live alone?
I do my house is tiny.
Do you have pets?
No, but I’d love a dog—too much responsibility right now.
Favorite tv show?
I don’t watch too much Downton Abbey I guess.
Is Rosie your full name?
Nope, it’s Roosevelt but don’t call me that—I go by Rosie.
Roosevelt?
Yeah all my siblings are presidents Kennedy, Lincoln, Harrison, and Truman
That’s interesting how did your parents choose those names?
My mom is a history teacher.
It’s been nice meeting you!
Thanks. You too. I gotta get a refill on this latte—lots to do today.
You run on caffeine?
Haha–something like that thanks again.
