1966- A Summer of Firsts
1966 will always be remembered as “My Summer of FIRSTS.” Do you remember falling in love for the first time? It was an unforgettable summer. ”Hot time, summer in the city, Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.” First time to fish for rainbow trout I started noticing boys in Junior High, which was 7th, 8th and 9th grades in the sixties, in Ottawa, Kansas. My first experience with “LOVE” began when I was 13 and staying with my sister in Colorado. The family in Ottawa had driven out to join my...

To All The Mikes I loved Before
******************************************************************************* To all Michaels I've loved before... as in recently........... Now 'tis the time for romance, hearts, and love, Cupids abound from the clouds up above, No words can ever begin to express Their desires, their hurry to undress The other, so breathless, demanding, their kisses Of wonder, discovering, the tongue never misses The nuzzling of necks, the nipping of ears, It may be their only encounter in years, oh the...

The Long Flirtation, Two years later
Jay in the little yellow Corvair (Re-Post) So how did this redhead with the white teeth come to seek me out? It was to be remembered by myself as the the long flirtation. It all started out with this cute yellow car. I kept seeing it after school while I was walking to my Grandma’s with my friend, Suzan. She lived on the same street just a few blocks up from my Grandmother. There were usually two guys in the car and they were both so cute! The term "stalker" in the sixties was not a part of the...

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Jay, my feelings for you are deeply rooted in my memories, from the first day I ever laid eyes on you. Why, I was just a girl of 12, just starting to feel more girly than tomboy that first year of junior high. We were both in Junior High but you were in the class two years ahead of me. I have a distinct memory of when I first saw your face. You were not aware I even existed. Actually, I saw your hair before I saw the face to which it was attached. I was coming down the main stairway in the old...

Have Yourself a Very Married Christmas
Have Yourself a tawdry little Christmas, Let your heart be filled, With utter shame To whom the B&B was billed. Have yourself a very married Christmas, Guess your wife’s not gay. (afterall) I’ll bet you’re glad I’m eighteen hundred miles away. Here we are as you wanted it, Though you think I’m now deranged, How could God tell you to cheat and lie, “You disgust me, bitch, go away.” Through the years You’ll snuggle with your Ice Queen, With your life in tact. HE never told you; it was just a...

a Love Letter - from my husband
My husband flew to Savannah with my son yesterday and at this moment, he is only 4 hours away. They're driving an old Lincoln-Towncar back for our friends with the cute baby. They are moving her elderly parents to be near them. Nick, my son, is being paid handsomely. I must admit to not wanting to sleep by myself so I stayed up till 4:00 a.m. and the phone started ringing with "not provided" or "out of area." I'm very groggy and all I can think is: "Check's in the mail, maybe,... leave me alone...

Dancing in the Rain
The monsoon summer rain had just started pouring down in sheets of water. I was at Jay's house on Mulberry Street. This is the same Jay who is now my husband. We had been dating a couple of years by then. I was 17 at the time. Jay was home from college. I came by to visit on that summer day in early June. I was on my way home from work. Somehow, I discovered that the rain was warm and for some reason, I felt compelled to go outside and play in this heavy rain. There was no thunder and lightning....

Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair
Human and his two 'bots' I said no more chapters on this character, this California Cad of my life, not until I can at least put the whole thing in a book. Yesterday, I had said in my blog that I had wanted to live long enough to experience all that life had to offer. I experienced one of life's best times; being head-over-heels in love, at a mature age even. I am thankful that I had that; no guilt, no shame. I’m left with only beautiful memories and a bittersweet ache in my heart. Yes, it was a...

Tis the Season for Wise Men
I’ve been taking a break from writing as I recovered from some surgery. It’s been a little rougher recovery this time around, and partly because I had to face my own mortality…again. Today, as I listened to one of the new Christmas songs written by Sarah McLachlan, "Wintersong," always made me cry. I asked myself, “What is there about this song that gets to me? ‘I miss you’ was the lyric where I always ‘lost it.’ “ “Whom do I miss,” I asked myself again? My daughter asked if it was my mother, as...
