Something from the Fiction section

Well, I have been writing a little fiction. There is a wonderful site sixsentences.blogspot.com where you can submit a 6 sentence anything. Well, I submitted and they liked! You can see it at that website and I encourage you to try it out! It's called Sad & Glad. I'm really excited.

Mulberries

I remember when I was a kid we had a mulberry bush/hedge that surrounded our whole yard. I use to play outside barefoot. I played in the yard around that hedge, during the time the mulberry's were falling off. At the end of the day, when I came in from playing, the bottom of my feet were stained purple from the mulberries. My mom would make me wash my feet in the bathroom sink every night. The bottom of my feet were always stained purple until winter.

I thought of this today when I was reading meters and I walked under a Mulberry tree, it reminded me of my childhood, when having to wash your feet before bed was a big deal!

Occasional Affirmation

You were just too busy being fabulous.

Can you tell me where the fiction section is?

Lovingly His

His rough calloused hand slid under her pink velvet pajamas. She tensed up briefly for it was not the hand she was used to. He caressed her hair and she began to relax as his hand slid down her thigh. Slowly, so gently, it felt good to be touched again and she allowed him to continue. He kissed her neck and his rough beard tickled the side of her cheek, and she snuggled into him as the fire began to go out. His muscular arms encircled her and as they lay quietly together intertwined, their eyes closed, sleep came to them.

and they think it's hell.

Blunt as informational is not bad.

All in a days work

It was a beautiful day today and it was wonderful to work outside. Here's today's list of some of the things I saw or encountered.

1. 3 baby kittens
2. A recently retired man, planting his garden.
3. 6 abandoned homes
4. A man surveying a homeowners property.
5. Black lab puppy who wanted me to put water in his bowl.
6. Some workers laying sod.
7. Hispanic man sweeping, wearing a t-shirt that was extremely small, exposing his large stomach.
8. Lady with vicious dogs who said she would put them in, but told me to "just stand still" as she took them past me, to the door.
9. Boy who took a board out of the fence so I could get into the neighbors yard. Sshh, it's a secret.

Could you tell me where the fiction section is?

"You should not have come back here" she said.
"You knew I would, I had to" he replied.

She pushed a strand of hair out of her eyes and said, "If someone told me a year ago I would have the feelings I have for you I would have told them they were out of their minds. This is not what we expected. Nobody understands what my life was like, when you and I started bonding they had no idea what I was going through, I did not want them to see me that weak, I didn't want them to see me broken." she told him.
He took a step closer to her and took her hands into his and said, "You are not broken anymore."

"Only because of you, I don't know how I would have gotten through this without you, I don't know how I would have done it without your love and support." she touched his cheek gently as she told him.
Yes, but you did get through it, we pushed through, and now you see how people react to unconventional relationships. I am not giving up, I can't, I won't!" he said.

"I can't.. she said, as he slides the ring onto her hand. You have been the most unbelievable surprise, you have been so there for me, and no one has ever loved me the way you have. You made me feel like a queen, like I was the center of the universe."
"Because that's what you are to me." he said.

"But, I can't be that for you. Please if you love me, just walk away, I can't do it by myself, I need you to go, please just help me do it. I know I'm going to be scared, I'm going to be lonely." she said tearfully. They embrace and kiss and hold each other for another moment, then she turns her back to him, and he goes out the door.

Just rambling

Went out to the river cabin this weekend. Really needed to mow. Thanks to Brian for transporting and helping me lift the mower in and out of the truck. The grass was really high and it took about 3 hours. Reed was getting bored while I mowed, but the neighbors entertained him for me for a bit. A tree had fallen and taken out the electric, but the electric boys got that wire up. Thanks to Big Tom for getting the light to work in my outhouse and sawing up the tree. It's been a busy weekend.

Went to a fund raiser with Julie and had a couple drinks Saturday night after I got my hair cut. Felt guilty I wasn't home getting things done. Reed spent some fun time with Jackson and his parents at the State Lakes. He really needed that. It's been hard on him not going to our old friends houses and grilling out and playing with his old friends. They enjoyed grilling hot dogs (he must have said weenie a million times and laughed so much) and roasting marshmallows.

Reed and I went to the water park for a while Sunday and he got a little bit of sun. So did I as a matter of fact. Brian met us there and we enjoyed the company.

I still have a million things to do. Wish I could get caught up. Still haven't got my bedroom put back together. Blah Blah Blah
