Elegy for Lucky -May 6, 2014

He was tired. How many balls can you chase, faces can you lick and tail wags can you have? How many walks can you take and scents can you trace? In 100 years? In people years that is just about what he would be. He would like to see his people get up and be cheerful at that age. Why, the lady... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't you just hate it when...

Don't you just hate it when you sit down with your cup of tea, or coffee, or an adult beverage, because after all, you are an adult. You turn on the news after a long day. You may have been writing your book, or studying your stock portfolio. You may have been doing spring cleaning or working in a... Sign in to see full entry.

Time passes and so do we...

Talk about depressing. I was preparing for my high school reunion the other day. Rather excited about getting the invitation and it got me thinking of days gone by and all that was, and how times were then. Could it possibly be 50 years?

The Flood

Sarah crawled along the foot-log which was her lifeline from the highway where the school bus had let her off and the driver, with little or no concern, drove away. The driver, who was a most disagreeable person in Sarah's opinion, had seen the flood waters rising under the bridge, leaving only a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Memory Lesson

The little girl with bib overalls and long brown braids is sitting on an ottoman at her grandfather's feet. She is holding an old and well-worn book, faded red and embossed in gold. The Big Quiz Book. The little girl is reading questions from the book, haltingly at times because she is very young... Sign in to see full entry.

Annie

Annie is a practical woman, no doubt about it. Everybody says so. You can ask her borderline frivolous husband and he will laugh. "Yes, she is practical alright. Drymel tools and plug-in appliances do her just fine for birthdays and anniversaries." Her two in-every-way impractical daughters would... Sign in to see full entry.
