“The future gathers in vine, bush, and tree: Persimmon, walnut, loquat, fig, and grape”and of all these lush delights, I choose the grape. A single grape dangling delicately from a group, is delicious on its own. Each green orb harvesting into red, purple, or blue, is much more interesting than a walnut or fig. Wineries take these bunches of grapes and transform them into delectable liquid forms. Different sizes and colors of the grape determine which luscious wine is made. Juices, jellies, jams, all can be made from this flavorful fruit, as their growing, harvested, their future is decided.

“Your chariot awaits, madam”, the young servant said. He gestured for Mary to step into the golf cart. Mary had just started managing at this club and found it easy to coordinate with the staff. A runner flew by them, doing his own type of exercise and Mary’s face colored a bit, thinking she should not be using a cart to get around the club. The value of seeing a manager also working out was worth it. Although Mary got most of her own exercise by walking her dog, she thought she would add something new to her routine, such as Pilates.

Trying a new craft, Sara decided the rule would be not to spiral into depression if she couldn’t accomplish it. A dense failure would reveal her strong shell was just a sham. Shallow friends would send a draft of her fail with some knee slapping laughter. This was a signal that once again she was not the accomplished woman she strived to be.

“If I said that, you’d burn me at the stake! When Mary opens her mouth, it doesn’t matter what she says, you always look at her adoringly. Being the oldest in the family, I take the brunt of all they do. Mary, the baby of the family, gets away with everything!”

Joe, the dad, stood up and said, “I think I have a stake in the garage!” Everyone started laughing.
