“Where the Woodbine Twines” by Sherry Austin
Ok so I wasn’t feeling so great yesterday and needed to go somewhere else. A book is always my best escape and did I pick a good one. Have you ever thought you recognized someone from your past? Well that’s how this book begins, and we are then transported back to the childhood of the […]

The Dog (pt 10)
Doone knew that yesterday was a bad time for her. She had seen to it that his basic needs were met, and so he made no outward complaints. He left her to do what she had to do. He did, however, feel awfully sad to see her with such inner turmoil. Though he didn’t know […]
Learning to live with it
She guessed that’s what they called “acceptance”…the whole learning to live with it. The “it” she was referring to this time was basically “the way she was” or as she liked to put it, being a bit nuts. No amount of medication in the world was going to make her completely normal because there was […]
Contemplation of what once was
She sat quietly locked in her room thinking about what once was. She was reminded of an instructor who said to never go into the past unless you were taking something good, otherwise it could cause you to become depressed. She was teetering on that borderline as she thought about her past career, the one […]
Compliance

“The Beach Boys Sounds of Summer”
I’ve got to tell you, this is the best compilation of Beach Boys music I’ve seen for the money in a long while. The Very Best Of The Beach Boys: Sounds Of Summer gives you 30 of their very best for a whopping $7.99 for an .mp3 download from Amazon. I’m listening to it now and […]
The Dog (pt 9)
She’d rushed out of the house so early this morning she’d forgotten all about Doone. He was waiting excitedly by the door, probably not so much to see her as to go out to do his business. He did, however, give her a quizzical look at her attire. She didn’t usually go out in her […]
Tile on the walls
The sky was the most brilliant blue and the clouds were a puffy white. They were moving rather quickly, as could be seen through the skylight, passing above the branches of the trees and the bright green leaves like something in a time lapse photography movie in school. She wondered if it would be difficult to […]
Flirting with disaster
Flirting with disaster She looked, but couldn’t touch She wanted to, a desire was there She wanted to fall in deep, and satisfying She looked, but she couldn’t touch He asked if she did, and she said “she was good” She fell quickly to sleep and dreams took over She was flying a helicopter but […]
