She sits quietly on her front porch hugging her cup of coffee. Today should be a good day. A peaceful Sunday. Morning's still cool. A nice breeze floats by.
She stops to sweep the drive. It's a Sunday morning thing. It makes the house look so much neater.
As she sweeps, the Big Hats appear. "She must not be a Christian~ she's not in Church!" one woman yells into a cell phone.
She continues sweeping and asks God to put the truth in their hearts. Then she finishes her coffee and goes inside to start breakfast. The kids will appreciate eggs with chorizo and biscuits topped with melted cheese.
After breakfast, she fires up the bar-b-que grill in the drive. Let it simmer a bit and add some marinated pork chops and chicken.
The Big Hats are just coming outside. Looks like some sort of ceremony. Very loud, but the Big Hats are always loud.
All the Big Hats are color-coordinated... except one girl who keeps apologizing. They parade all over their lot. An incredible din arises from their extravaganza.
She goes inside for an iced Pepsi and the meat to grill. When she returns they seem to be winding it up for the morning. Some Big Hats go back inside, some go to their cars. All are yelling. The tone sounds happy, but it is very counter-productive to a peaceful Sunday morning.
As the Big Hats roam between the building and cars, they make snide remarks to her.
She sits on her porch and designs landscaping which will block their view and muffle their noise. She quietly prays God will 'fix it' so she can live more peacefully.
