Rendezvous of Dreams
June 12, 1941, After work I had a bite to eat at The Moonlight and went to Henrettea’s for my permanent wave. She talked a steady stream and told me about her wedding and a lot of things a single girl doesn’t know. Marriage is certainly no hay ride but every girl thinks her’s will…
In Honor and Memory of “Stretch” Part I
Unfortunately, this was the start of the end. I am simply to sad to create suspense or to worry about spoilers. May 11, 1941, Nat was angry because Stretch didn’t come home. However, he’s sick in the hospital and can’t help that. Ed K. came up and gave me a driving lesson and we picked…

Please indulge another draft from the vault! How do you feel about Hitchcock? No, not her boss at the tax office: Saturday, January 25th, 1941 Mr. Hitchcock is going to drive us insane, I think. I mean Alfred. The creator of such films as The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo, and, of course, Psycho? Friday, October…
War
But not for us…Not yet. If you would indulge me, I found this post in my drafts bin. I started writing this post in 2018!!!! I’m not sure if I posted something like this already, thus where the indulgence is needed, but I felt it educational to see these passages grouped together on this theme….
April A-Z: Divvying and Dreaming
This past March was tense and difficult. The 11th was Babu’s birthday but instead of her, we had a job. Adam’s uncle, Tony, came from Tennessee and helped to start the process of doling out things that were hers and now theirs. You can imagine how that can go. At some point one night during…

Sunday Share: Alphabet Haiku and a Photo Challenge
I got wrapped up in challenges this month. I wasn’t looking for any, I swear! But first came around Alphabet Haiku. Did you know that Haiku was originally, and still should be if it’s not, considered a form of meditation? I wrote one just for fun and then I saw that I could do it! …
