Let It Snow!

I spent three years of my childhood in Great Falls, Montana. Prior to that, I had lived mostly in Texas and California. So for me, snow was a treat! When we lived in California, my Dad bundled us up and drove into the mountains for the day just so we could see snow. He made sure we had boots and mittens and a sled, and … Continue reading Let It Snow!

Once Upon A Smile

Once there was a girl who woke up and smiled. And in that smile lived her heart. And she handed that heart to him as he kissed her goodbye and headed to work. Once there was a boy who kept her heart in his pocket as he drove through the rain. It was cold, but he didn’t notice because her heart kept him warm. And … Continue reading Once Upon A Smile

Cucumber Melon-choly

As the pandemic progresses, and the reality of no traveling sets in, I find myself using up the travel-size products that I’ve kept neatly in my “to go” bag for all of my cross-country adventures.  Might as well, right?  I mean, let’s save some money on shampoo and conditioner, etc. One of the products I found in my bag was an unopened package of Cucumber-Sage-scented … Continue reading Cucumber Melon-choly

Mermaid

I think about you in the quiet of the evening. After the excitement of the day has worn off. When I have thought about everything and everyone else. I feel like I’m under water in the deep end of the pool, somewhere between 3rd and 6th grade. I’m sitting on the bottom (because I can) and a friend has tossed something in from the side. … Continue reading Mermaid

Lost On Sunrise

I want to buy an overnight train ticket to somewhere. I will pack boxes of shoes with names like Carnelian and Sapphire and Rose. My hair will be Marilyn blonde, and I will pull it into one of those French Twists I’ve never been able to do. And I will paint my lips in that same “never been able to do” way. I will wear … Continue reading Lost On Sunrise

Wait…

It is 2:45 pm on July 2nd. I have 90 minutes left to write a memory about my friend Kim, and still make it to the FedEx box before the last pick-up of the day. I could have mailed it. But I waited too long. So now it’s down to the wire. This has to be finished in time to make it to North Dakota … Continue reading Wait…

Along Came A Spider

I sat on the living room floor, hugging the neck of our beloved Chocolate Lab while the vet waited patiently in the kitchen. Moments later, I was nuzzling her soft brown head as she took her last breath. Anyone who has lost a pet knows the heartbreak that comes next. For me, what came next was a spider. I spied her the morning after saying … Continue reading Along Came A Spider

Western Music

So this morning I woke up before the sun. This doesn’t happen often. As always, I brewed some coffee and came out to my back porch to enjoy the cool morning, listen to the birds, watch the squirrels, and check Facebook and the news to see what I missed overnight. I don’t have to tell you what I saw. You saw it too. And you … Continue reading Western Music

Eddie And The Cruiser

On December 1st, 1993, my coworker Eddie and I delivered a Christmas tree to a single mom in need. For the next three weeks, Eddie and I would harass our fellow Red Lobster servers until they gave us their spare change and extra tips at the end of every shift. Three weeks later, we took that money, along with boxes of donated canned goods and … Continue reading Eddie And The Cruiser

Untitlement

Something happened on August 18, 2019. I don’t know if it was funny or sad or infuriating or even interesting. But apparently it was important enough for me to write about. And then something else happened. I don’t know what that was either, but it was enough of a distraction for me to immediately stop whatever I started writing about. Something also happened on March … Continue reading Untitlement
