The first time I watched my husband make a sandwich, I almost fainted. He managed to put half a pound of lunch meat, and a small salad in between two slices of bread, and my eyes popped wide open the next day when he added cheese to it.

Yippie…all the neighbor kids are back in school. I have my workroom back and I returned to my normal routine -I hear silence and love it.
The kids and I made it through the summer torturing each other. They forced me to watch The Gilmore Girls, and I made them listen to books that I thought they needed to know. To Kill a Mockingbird was one of them and they loved it.
“This was my first accident,” Marlise said with laughter in her voice.
Grandma didn’t find it funny at all.
They had been hidden in a box at the bottom of her wardrobe for many years.
“I bought them when I was about your age,” she said when she gently handed me the shoes.
Every snowflake is unique, just like the memories they bring.
Faces of kids are dancing around me, I can hear the laughter, I can feel the joy.
Our last walk through these halls, then we will be released.
Nobody says a word, we are quiet. This is the moment we have been waiting for.
The other day, someone at a store mentioned that a Methamphetamine lab had been found in an old house nearby and he asked me a rhetorical question:
“Why didn’t we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?”
“I always wanted to play Santa,” my husband said, and instantly he looked like a little boy, and I couldn’t help but laugh. We had just stopped at an estate sale, and there it was in all its glory, a Santa costume with belt and beard.

Dear Diary,
I am so glad you are my friend. I carry your key around my neck or hide it in my room, to make sure nobody can read our secrets. Imagine someone would find you, and all my secrets would be spilled and shared with everybody, that would be so humiliating. I can’t even imagine.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I do, very much so and I am not just talking about the love for your partner. I think the same thing happens when we meet our future best friends.
