Julie sat in the same place on the same shoreline for the same length of time every single day. No matter the weather, hot blazing sun or icy winds would not deter Julie, it was her quest. Jim had passed on to another dimension, at least that’s what she hoped and prayed for while sitting in that seat. The empty chair beside her was ready for him whenever he or his essence or his specter came back. They talked about this many times when they found out his disease was terminal. He would contact her somehow, she could feel it.

After numerous attempts to keep the long version from supper’s dining experience, Joe gave in and let his little sister speak. There was no danger in her looking into the mystery at Sandy’s Point. The sugar cane property was practically destroyed by the fire, and her idea of gearing up to explore was pretty harmless. Being a firefighter, she knew how to be safe.

I’m enjoying them.

I’m not driving anymore but last time we were out, three different drivers tried to back up into us. You’d think with cars enabled with backup cameras they’d use them! I was lucky my daughter is such a good driver, but I must say, I taught her😂

I’m a shade person, being a redhead. But love sunny days as they make my mood happier.

I’d prefer iced tea.

Gratitude:

An outing this past week was great and a mood lifter. I’m also getting stronger in health.

It worked, he exclaimed. Now all I have to do is grab my bike and hit the bank. Vincent had left the back entrance slightly ajar after work. The tiny device he used was not noticed by any security guards, so his plan worked. Swishing back and forth from street to sidewalk on his trusty old Schwinn sting ray, he grew more excited than ever. Coming up on the bank, all lights were blacked out. Vincent entered through the back door he had left opened. As he was opening the first cash drawer, he saw a heavily penned note…no way Vinnie! Vincent looked around and didn’t see or hear anyone. He wondered who could have written the note. Then checking all the other drawers, empty! Vinnie let himself out the back door and rode home. Little did he know the old bank guard that had been there twenty plus years had been watching him the days ahead of Vincent’s crime.

“Hey Harry! You better hurry up! The kid with the bug catcher toy is coming out in the yard any minute! We look pretty easy to find since we’re up off the ground like this. His mom bought him a magnifying glass too!”

“Yeah, I hear you! Kids usually don’t play in the yard, at least not without a cell phone taped to their eyeballs, heh, heh, heh. But this little guy is a curious sort, and we have to admire that. But hey, the snacks higher up are more tasty, don’t you think? And no need to find water, it’s provided…”

Snap went the plastic cap on the bug catching jar.
