Hubby and I have lived in the same house for forty years. When we put our roots down, we sink them in deep. We’ve thought about moving, but the thought of cleaning out the garage attic, just makes us shudder. After all, there’s forty years of crapola up there. The neighborhood is generally made up of older couples who, like …
It’s amazing how something as harmless as a little prank can involve changing a military base’s policy and may affect national security. But it can, and it happened to me. The Spring of 1994 found me at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, driving around my nice shiny patrol car, complete with a new, straight out of the box radar gun …

Hubby and I are perfectly matched. Not only am I blind, he’s deaf, so right there it’s a marriage made in heaven. Somehow when we’re in the car driving we get desperate for conversation it seems. We don’t talk about friends or family. Oh no, that would make too much sense, and for us that would be just plain normal. …

It was a clear, cool morning May 22nd, 2006, when a small gas station in South Dakota burst into a massive ball of flames. By the the time the volunteer fire department assembled, and drove the tractor pulling a water tank into town, there was only the smoldering remains of an import car, the cash cabin and a collapsed roof, …
I pulled, tires screaming, into the parking lot of my destination. It had become my new Saturday morning pacifier. My comfort zone for décor and room organization: the second hand shop downtown. I ran into the store, fueled by my white wall guilt brought on by hours of watching HGTV. The clerk smiled broadly as she saw me enter. “Excuse …
This is a little story about the importance of following orders. Once a champion jockey was about to enter an important race on a new horse. The horse’s trainer meets him before the race and said, “All you have to remember with this horse is that every time you approach a jump, you have to shout, ‘ALLLLEEE OOOP!’ really loudly …
» A golfer walks into the pro shop at the local course, and asks the golf pro if they sell ball markers. The golf pro says, “Sure we do, and they are just $1.00 each.” The guy says he’ll take one, and gives the golf pro a dollar. The pro rings it up, opens the register, puts the dollar in …
I really need a clone, a person exactly like me to share the workload. The technology is there, and I wonder why they haven’t actually done it yet. I brought the subject of cloning up to Hubby the other night. Me: “I wish I had a clone.” Hubby: “Hmmm, I don’t know if that would be a good idea.” Me: …

Two brothers were playing, when the little brother asked whether he could fly like Superman. “Why, sure you can,” encouraged the older brother, “just flap your arms really really hard.” So, his little brother climbed up onto the windowsill, started flapping like mad, then jumped, smashing onto the ground just a few feet below. Hearing her child’s cries, their mother …
