Just a post about nothing really
This morning I had a great phone call from my son. He's a great guy and I could hear the happiness in his voice. Thank God I am still close to one of my two. He turned 40 recently, (how fast time has flown)! Didn't want a party but he did want to try out a super car on a race track. One of his...

The simple life.

We all love him and he has so much courage.
I call him my Brave Heart. He has so much courage it breaks my heart. We had tickets to go see the R.C.M.P. musical display today. We've had the tickets for ages. Neither of us were sure we should go but we left late and didn't stay for the end. We saw what we wanted, took some photos and came back...

And anyway, never owned a gun in m' life, let alone a toy like that!" A small smile played around the policeman's mouth. He reminded Mary of a...

The promised continuation.
While the policeman read from his notes, his associate placed herself by the exit, hands to her hips. and the detective chap walked the perimetry of the crowd. Whoever had fired the shot had left it too late to escape. 'Now then,' the policeman continued. 'Having eliminated the husband, the brother,...

Little people enjoying too much power. The story continues.
Mary couldn't believe what she had just said. She'd just accused the man she professed to love of murder. Mark the guy she'd left home to be with. Mark the schmuck who turned out to be a sewer rat so serve him right. Mum came and stood next to her, took her trembling hand and stroked it. "I think...

continueing who fired the shot and why
the paramedics arrived and completed their job quickly, quietly and efficiently. They examined the body before gently lifting it onto a Gurney and covering all of her including the face with a sheet.

So who was shot at the BBQ?
There were three women standing talking together when the shot rang out. Mum, her sister Patty and Jane from next door. Mary and her Nan were wending their way towards them.
