Lulu knows The Way

Jan19

We met Lulu and Meredith first thing this weekend. After making friends, Meredith asked, “Are you lost or did you run away?” No answer from the pup.A collar was around the the sturdy neck but she had time to call. She figured she’d carry the pooch to the office, buy a leash, food and call the owner. What a plan! And what about the Christmas party? She, Meredith, was totally in charge of the big event. Okay, she had enough pull to bring the pup up to the office. Sure enough, a collar with identification was there to read. Snuffy belongs to Brian Reed. A phone number was right there. The bus pulled up. Meredith climbed aboard with her extra baggage paid the fare and sat up front sorting out the plans for the day.She’d call the owner and give the dear creature away although she knew she wanted to keep it.She’d lived alone for a long time. Forget a new man A dog might be the answer. A quick call to this owner. Snuffy belongs to him. “Mr. Reed, I found your dog or rather she found me on my way to work.the pup is asleep on my lap. I can return the dog much later in the day. “Keep her. I don’t give a damn.. He coughed. Sorry , I am recovering from hip replacement surgery and the stupid dig sitter lost her. One of the many things is I can’t take care of her.

Mr. Reed, what kind of name is Snuffy.

First of all, she is a therapy dog with a certificate, so there. And what name would you prefer, you with a temporary pooch? “

Since she dealt with a recuperating man, Meredith decided to be extra kind. “She’s a female and deserves a pretty name. I’m going to call her Lulu.” http: //www. wewriwa//..

And what about the Christmas party? She, Meredith, was totally in charge of the big event. Okay, she had enough pull to bring first look at the collar and sure enough, a collar with indentifcation was there to read. Snuffy belonged to Brian Brian Reed; a phone number was right there. The bus pulled up and Meredith climbed off with her extra baggage, paid the fare and held the dear pup now fallen asleep. She’d tell the owner and give the sweet pup back. She’d called before anything might not work.

“Mr Reed, I found your dog or rather your dog found me on the way to work and I can return the pup much later today.

“Keep her, I don’t give a damn.” He coughed.”Sorry, I’m recovering from hip replace and the dumb sitter lost my pup. One of the things I can’t do for her because it will take time.” first of all she is a therapy dog with a certificate so there! and what name do you prefer, you with a temporary pup. Since she’s dealt with a recuperating man, Meredith decided to be extra kind. “She’s female and deserves a pretty name, I’m going to call her Lulu.”

Lulu knows best, my latest short story

After showering and make-up, she usually doesn’t use, she dressed in her new slinky silk dress with a plunging neck she looked in the long mirror and wished she’d meet a nice man at the Chrismas party tonight. Dressed in her new warm coat she hurried outside on this cold day. She had packed a small gift and also her Lady Smith just in case. No being late to work this day, no way. She said a prayer to God for her to meet a good man and suddenly she heard click,click on the pavement, took her Lady Smith out and hollered “Your barking up the wrong tree.” To her surprise, she saw a small pit bull shivering in the cold and picked the shaking pooch and close to her face, where the pooch licked her face.

Lulu Knows The Way, a short story

Jan11

After showering and with care, using make-up she didn’t often fuss with, Meredith Brown dressed in her new slinky silk dress with a plunging neckline. If only she had a man to admire her shape. She selected a jacket to wear during the day, one to cover cleavage before the big Christmas party later. Meredith brushed her pretty long blond hair until it shined; no bun pulled behind the neck today, no way!

She buttoned her new black wool coat since the weatherman predicted snow She sent up a prayer. Please let me find a nice man at the big Christmas party later. No being late to work ever , click click she heard and she opened her Lady Smith from the small bag and spun around. “She reached into her bag and spun around. “You are barking up the wrong tree, mister.” To her surprise, a small two tone pooch, a pit bull stopped when she did.

After showering and with care, using make-up she didn’t often fuss with, Meredith Brown dressed in her slinky silk dress with a plunging neckline. If only she had a man to admire her shape, she thought, as she looked in the long mirror. She selected a jacket to wear during the day, one to cover cleavage before the big Christmas party later. Satisfied with new results, Meredith brushed her pretty long blond hair until it shined, no bun pulled behind the neck today, no way. She buttoned her new black wool big fur collar nice and close since it was darn cold at this Christmas time and the weatherman predicted a heap of snow to fall. She said a prayer: “God, please bless me with meeting a good man. I’m lonely and I’m not getting any younger. Fifty is quite enough.” She packed a small gift for the party table in her briefcase, her Lady Smith in a leather purse and headed out of the one bedroom apartment she had enough of. No being late to work ever so she raced to the bus. Click, click, click. A sound on the pavement alarmed her. She reached inside her bag for the Lady Smith and spun around. She hollered, “You’re barking up the wrong tree, mister.” To her surprise, a small two tone pup, a pit bull came to mind, stopped when she did. The small dog shook with fear or maybe cold so she picked it up and snuggled with the sweet face and in return, she received a happy lick.

Hi my friends. When Double Becomes Single… conttinued

Jan4

When last we met, Sharon gathered her grandchildren, bought clothes for them and now they have a beginning for a new life. Sharon got them into whatever sport they liked. They loved tennis and now they have a sport forever where their Granny can watch and encourage them. Years passed, James suddenly was ready for college. Sharon decided to take a trip to Copenhagen where her children lived. She forgot to take her cane and a gentleman sat next to her. It didn’t take long for this attractive colonel to get cozy with Sharon. When she dozed off, he put his arm around her to make sure she’d be comfy.

The grandchildren decided to talk to the colonel and find out if he has good intention toward their Granny. She slept on as he told them that he is a colonel and knows inside him he has found the right woman for him. He’s traveling a bit longer but will do the best he can to travel to Copenhagen when his work is finished. When he leaves, he assures them he’ll be back. The family arrives in Copenhagen to find no one is home and but to their surprise, neighbors hurried over with fresh fruit and warm cups of juice.

Grannies family shows up after a trip to their country home. Love is all around as the families warm up. The days flew by as the big kids check out the beautiful countryside. One morning, while Granny played with her little grandkids, someone knocked on the front door. Sharon hurried to open the heavy door and there stood the handsome colonel. He hugged her and said, “I promised I’d be back and here I am.” A sweet tale of love and the way Sharon held up her head to make a fine life with her family.

Hi Gang, we’re fortunate when we survive nature’s fury. Bless the volunteers who repeatedly rescue survivors during the fires at the New Jersey shore communities and floods in Colorado. We take so much for granted.

Thanks for the comments. You boost my confidence every week.

I continue with my story Sin of Omission. Stunned to find he’s the father of twins, Jimmy Costigan has questions to be answered by the woman he’s loved since the moment he saw her. He asks, “Who guided you while I was playing college boy?”July 29, 2012 Sin of Omission

“A former Jesuit priest, Kirk Richards, helped me prayed for guidance and right or wrong, here we are. I don’t expect financial support or marriage,” Shelley took a deep breath, “all I want is for you to help me name them.”

Devoid of expression, Jimmy leaned in close, eyes narrowed, he said, “Why, you’ve done it all without me; name them yourself.”

“I want to be able to tell them their daddy chose the names; names are important.”

“So you didn’t think I was man enough to hear the truth, strong enough to accept responsibility and finish school but just a kid to be protected from life, huh?” His long hair fell across his face as he scowled, “We hardly know each other and now there are two more of us. You’ve had nine months to think and I’ve had less than a minute;” he stared down at his boots and recalled the only one who taught him a lot back in Utah; “Luke, Lucas; your turn.”

“Jacob,” Shelley said in a whisper, the second name caught the breeze to join the first, “Jake.”

1/27/13 Six Sentence Sunday featuring AFTER HIM

Jan26

The final curtain or is it? Thanks to a small group of people, we’ve been brought together in fun and friendship on Sunday’s. Thanks for all you’ve done and my love and best wishes to you.

And now a new story of the search for love and companionship in two mature people who meet at Helen Hayes Rehab Hospital on Valentine Day.

excerpt in six:

I tried, God knows I’ve tried all my tricks to get his attention and today might be my last chance.  This guy, the saddest looking Irish face I’d seen since I had to pick one out of a line-up, stuck to himself never speaking to anyone. I wanted to share more with this stand offish private guy.

What luck. By chance, the machine next to me was unoccupied and the Irisher tapped his way over, a cane leading the way.

I gave it my best shot with an adorable grin, dimples showing, “What’re you in for?”

“Huh? What does that mean, ‘in for’, sounds like we’re in jail,”  his  slight brogue pleasing to my ear.

“We are prisoners in a sense, of our bodies as they heal and then we’re set free.”
