Two cave men were having a quiet conversation while waiting for their prey to stop roaring: “Think he’ll shut up soon? We’re going to be late for dinner.”

“I doubt it Joe, he loves standing up there pretending he’s king.”

“But you know the girls – they hate eating late…maybe if I run back and offer them some grog from my hidden stash…”.

“What stash! I didn’t know you had a secret stash! Where is it?” Meanwhile the lion hopped off the ledge and went back to his lair. When the two men realized their catch was lost, they slumped back to their women. Joe made sure to get his friend to bring grog to appease the girls.

Just as every day, Joe starts the morning admiring his works of art. The one time love from years gone by…he often wonders where she is now. When she left, he looked over all the sketches he had drawn and his paintings of her. These few were his favorites. Her beauty evident, but the fun they had that summer was depicted on this wall. A summer romance after college graduation was brief but remembered here.

Needing a Break

“Get outside, now!” That was the harried mom’s yell. She was trying to feed three month old twins and sitting between them, first a spoon in the boys mouth and then a spoon of mashed potato for the baby girl. Not many mothers can handle two small babies, a five year old and a seven year old, but she is managing. Summer heat and no break in school time, she manages. After the first two times she says “it’s time to go outside” doesn’t get their attention from their tablet games, she occasionally raises her voice.
