Steven decided it was time to take me out to the golf course. I’m not sure it mattered if I wanted to go or not.

We’d been searching for some activities we could findContinue reading “PUTTING WIZ”

My husband, Steven and I were sitting on our porch enjoying a quiet evening. “I love dusk.” I said. “I think it’s my favorite time of day.” I leaned back in my chair, watching as some lighting bugs began to flicker in the bushes.

After cutting the tomato into wedges, I arranged them on a plate, grabbed the salt shaker and went outside where Steven was sitting on the porch. “Would you like a slice?” I asked, holding the plate out to him. “You cut up a cherry tomato?” he asked. He took the salt shaker and sprinkled itContinue reading “ACCIDENTAL GARDENER”

I had gone for a weekend visit to my sister Donna’s. She lived about and hour and a half away. While I was there she had my nephew put a new navigation app on my phone. “Just try it.” she said as I looked at her in doubt. “It’s easier than the other ones.” myContinue reading “LEFT OR RIGHT”
