The Unicef Card

January 27, 2015 By Barbra Wolfe 2 Comments

Greeting Card with two girls walking into the light

I look at this card every day.  They look so much like us.

Chubby One and Chubby Two.  I think they’re really us.

I watch their paths converging, the rainbow in the sky.

You’re just a step ahead of me. I want to ask God why.

I know you’ll meet me on my way. Of that I have no doubt.

Into the light, hand in hand, I pray to take your route.

Online Dating Sign

If you’ve ever tried internet dating, here’s your chance to share your experiences.  We want the good, the bad, the ugly, the funny, the successful happy endings, the trials and tribulations. Which sites tended to yield better prospects? Which sites were easier to use?  How many frogs did you kiss before you found your Prince/Princess? How long did it take? Did you cross paths with any con artists?  Tell us about any whack jobs you may have encountered in your journey.  Tell it all.

(Use a fictitious name if you want to keep your secrets secret.)

Please ask friends and family to share on this site.

Thanks,

Barb

Yummy looking meatballs

He woke to the familiar sound coming through his open bedroom window.  From that single sound, he could predict what the day would bring.  It started with a phlegmy cough spit in the kitchen sink of the house next door. Next, he knew she would prepare coffee and breakfast for whomever had stayed the night.  Overnight guests were common.  Lively conversation would follow.  Next, would be the sound of her sweeping the alley and front sidewalk.  It was a daily ritual when she was down for the weekend.  Next would come the meatballs.  Mary’s meatballs.  He looked forward to that part of the day when she would call him over to come taste her spicy meatballs.  He didn’t even mind that she called him “the Baby” for there was nothing in this world like Mary’s meatballs.  And there was no other house in that little beach town that was quite like hers.  It was a loud house swelling with love, laughter, arguments, good food, good times, boxers, actors, three generations of family on most weekends and, on one 4th of July night, even murder.

It’s funny how the gross sound of a phlegmy cough could conjure up such wonderful and comforting memories.

This is Just the Beginning

Finding Billyniceguy is just the beginning of many stories and books to come. I thank Richard Warren for putting the Tales from the Silver State II anthology together. It was a painless way to become officially published.
