Not THAT rich…

Cyranny2 Comments

    When he pulled in the drive in, her jaw dropped on her lap. They had been dating for a couple of weeks, but always on neutral ground. She couldn’t tell why, but they both enjoyed keeping things a bit on the mystery side. And that afternoon, when he had suggested to end their…… Continue reading Not THAT rich…

Bad news…

  The kids were playing loudly in the next room.  He wondered if anybody on the planet dreamt about being Winny the Pooh. Probably, at least one weird person, maybe more.

Knit one, purl one…

Cyranny1 Comment

  Knit one, purl one… Her knotted fingers hurt a little, but she still loved making socks, mittens and sweaters for her loved ones. And she really wanted to finish the scarf she had started before her family rang the door bell.
