This was the beginning of the week! We are now in a heat wave!!! It was after dinner and Alex and I wanted to get in a walk before it got too dark. “I have my keys.” I opened the front door. “Do you have your phone?” “Got it.” he said walking out of hisContinue reading “HOT OR COLD?”

I didn’t feel like cooking dinner, and it was only going to be Alex and me eating. So I picked up a sub sandwich on my way home from work. I came into the house and dropped the sub shop bag on the dining room table. Alex came over with two plates and some napkins.Continue reading “MOTHER’S DAY MAGIC”

I was going down the hall to my bedroom when Alex walked out of his bathroom holding a towel around his waist and an armload of dirty laundry. “Great,” I said as I passed him. “You’re out of the shower. I’m going in next.” Alex stopped. “You’re taking a shower now?” he looked concerned. “Yeah,Continue reading “THE GRATEFUL TRIP”

I came home from running errands and Steven met me at the door. “Everything okay?” he asked. “You’ve been gone a long time.” “I got side-tracked.” I admitted as I draped the dry cleaning bags over a dining room chair. “I was going by the community center and there was a baseball game on theContinue reading “LITTLE LEAGUE LEGENDS”

Steven and I were sitting on the couch, channel surfing, when Steven noticed a book on the coffee table. He reached over and held it up, “Colorstrology?” “A girlfriend gave it to me.” I took the book out of his hand and began flipping through. “There’s a different color for each day.” I explained. “YouContinue reading “COLORSTROLOGY”

It was beautiful spring day and I was enjoying a quiet day puttering around the house. I’d opened some of the windows to let the fresh air in, and was getting ready to think about making dinner, when the raucous call of a Blue Jay caught my attention. Within seconds several more Jays were joiningContinue reading “NATURE’S CAR ALARM”

“Look what I found at the grocery store?” I called out to Steven as I walked into the kitchen and placed the small green pot on the counter. “I was hoping for food.” Steven sounded disappointed when he came into the kitchen and saw the plant I was fussing over. “There’s plenty of that inContinue reading “FRECKLE FACE SUMMER”

It was early in the morning and I’d just been outside to get the newspaper. “Can you hear the woodpecker out there?” I asked Steven as I put the newspaper on the counter. I grabbed the kettle and began to fill it with water. Steven listened for a moment. “It sounds like he’s banging onContinue reading “AMATEUR BIRDER”

“Well, that took forever.” I grumbled as I lifted the eight bags of groceries hanging from my arms, and placed them on the counter. “Are they’re any more in the car?” Steven asked as he headed for the front door. “Nope.” I rubbed the spots where the bags had dug into my arms. “You knowContinue reading “DINNER INSPIRATION”
