Just Another Day – Daily Prompt

The Daily Prompt was “Just Another Day” -Our days are organized around numerous small actions we repeat over and over.  What’s your favorite daily ritual?   I wrote a very similar post in A Perfect Morning last year but since I’m in the mood to write, I thought why not?

The Daily Prompt  read “Where were you last night at midnight? Would you have wanted to be somewhere else?” At midnight, I was snug as a bug in my bed and had been for several hours. If you’ve read my blogs before you might already know, that although I love owls, I am not a nocturnal […]

The List

Although I loathe admitting it, when I was a young girl, I was sometimes referred to as sneaky.  This isn’t an adjective I am proud to have had my character associated with, but I’m willing to suffer the embarrassment for the sake of the story. There were several reasons I was labeled as a wily […]
