The Pink Book
Empty little journals, I have a few. And I filled one with tips I'd like to pass along to anyone who wants them (that means you, my children). It has a pink cover, so I call it The Pink Book. That's a working title and these are working pages. It's a WIP, as am I.

Judith. Top Story - June 2025.
I would visit to massage her feet and help in any other way I could. Her conversation was often about her son, just five years old at the time. She ruminated on what would become of him once she was gone. That concerned her most of all.

Bye Bye Bandit
Dear Sideshow Bandit, This is the end of the road, my friend. I have stood by you for all these years, but now, it’s over. I birthed you and loved you. I still love you. But I’m handing in my resignation as your primary caregiver - not because I don’t believe in you anymore. You know I do. But they don’t. And they are the ones who can make or break you (and me).

A Red Letter Day for Tatlow. Winner in Everything Looks Better From Far Away Challenge.
The Sign: The Tatlow Town Hall is not a very big building - two storeys, twelve rooms - but the day the sign showed up on its front exterior wall, the Hall took on ginormous proportions. At least, it did for Janet Couter and her bestie Helen Brox, both of whom regarded the sign as a grotesque monstrosity, bigger even than the screen at the Tatlow Drive-in Theatre, and far more offensive than any movies shown there.

A Girl Named Parker. Runner-Up in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.
Over morning coffee I read a newspaper article about a couple who bought an oceanfront property in France. It seems the shells on their new beach were rather boring. So the wife/mother had a servant go out every day to place dazzling seashells along the route she’d later walk with her children.

Scottie. Top Story - May 2025.
Scott Monroe Baker was made of sunlight and stardust. And he was my best friend. We spent much of our youth together, tripping in and out of each other’s lives, living together, travelling separately, sending letters, meeting up again with open arms.

Diplomas Flambé. Runner-Up in 500 Word Shockwave Challenge. Top Story - April 2025.
Opening the old notebook, an aroma flutters from its pages: not mold, not dust, but love gone sour, the ripe odour of hate. Yet all its pages seem untouched, immaculate as unruffled snow, a virgin notebook. Then I glimpse his scrawl on a few pages in the middle. There’s the stench.
