Bio
I am a wife, mother of two, and a grandmother of three. I was a teacher for thirty five years, and retired with an itch to write. It has taken me ten years, but better late than never.

The Dilemma
The Dilemma (Surprises are Scary) By Carol Margosein It is cold. It is so cold that the snow refuses to melt. The snow piles up so high, I can barely see across the street. It has not changed for the last three weeks. We moved out to the country for the quiet and the bucolic sights. Rolling hills, cows, sheep, llamas, and horses all coexist together on various farms tucked between the never-ending cornfields. All of this is lovely from April to November, but November to April can be hard. I have learned to live with it, but I still miss seeing people and just going out. Still, I bundle up: boots, sweater, heavy jacket, hat, scarf, and gloves. All on, just to go out. As I am bundling up, my husband asks," Where are you going"? I don't know what to say. Should I say out, to the store, to the bank? The reason I am leaving is that the walls are beginning to close in. Things are financially tight, so no trips to sunny climes. The kids are busy with their own lives and families. So here we are, in the cold, all alone with each other.
