Embroidery Project
I just finished an embroidery project. This one I started over the Christmas holiday. It’s not a very big one. I would normally have finished in in a month, maybe two. Instead, I worked on three other projects at the same time and so all of them have slowed down. Actually, now that I think about it, I’m slower to embroider for other reasons too. I used to take The Girl to music lessons. The lessons were across town and […]
Saintly Gift
Tina: Hey, it’s almost Easter. What are you going to give me? Jack: What are you talking about? Tina: It’s a holliday, right? As you mother in law I should get a gift? I’m thinking a smart phone would be good. Or maybe a tablet. Jack: I’ll give you something all right… Tina: No rotten eggs! Jack: Rats! Well then forget it. I’m not giving you anything on Easter. Tina: Well, then when? Jack: On Saint Never Ever Day. Previously […]
Hide and Seek
“The first diving helmets were invented in the ‘20’s by Charles and John Deane. They looked a lot like this one, but this is just a reproduction. Look, you can even open and close the faceplate.” Big brother tried to show his little brother and sister how to work the faceplate. “Quick! Hide here!” Little brother dived into the cushions, taking little sister with him. “Squeeeeeee! Giggle, giggle.” Little sister kicked a cushion. “Hold still! He’ll find us.” “What can […]
13 Characters
I have been writing and posting Suzie’s House episodes on a weekly basis for seven years now. Quite a few characters have been introduced in that time. Here are 13 of them. 1. Suzie Hammaker, aka Mrs. H. – the owner of a great Victorian house in the Willy Street neighborhood of Madison, Wisconsin. She is forced by economics to turn the place into a boarding house. She tends to be a little too nice. 2. Miranda Bailey – Suzie’s […]
Suzie’s House 353 : Impassioned Speech in the Park
This takes place at the same time as the previous episodes. “I don’t know, Bruce, He looks like a pervert.” Gene hadn’t really wanted to come with Bruce in the first place. Now that he saw the guy they were supposed to buy the stuff from, he was even more sure he didn’t want it. “What? Because his hair’s all oily?” “No. Because of the way he keeps looking around all nervous like.” Gene caught himself looking around the park […]

Where Does the Time Go?
I’ve been moving rather slow the last few days. In January and February I got all kinds of things done. But April is proving a bit of a bust. Luckily I was so effective earlier that I’m not bogged down with taxes this year. Usually I’d be in desperation mode. Maybe that’s why all I feel like doing now is kicking back?
Fast Asleep
Tina: Jack, help me wake Theodor. Jack: Let him sleep. Tina: But he’s in the best bed in the house. I want to sleep here. Jack: Wait until he wakes up. Tina: That could be days! Ack! Help!
Celebration
Knowing nothing of weddings or birthdays or decorations, the alien crept into the village in the middle of the night with dinner in mind. All was quiet. With no game to consume it did what aliens of its kind had always done. It attached itself to a point well above the ground in a position from which it could drop down on unsuspecting prey and waited. Sure enough, come morning many edible creatures appeared. “Papa, papa! Look at the pretty […]
13 Words
Yep. Straight off the top of my head, because the thing I was trying to post proved too problematic for the hour. 1. Health 2. Wealth 3. Wise 4. Guy 5. Gal 6. Gallon 7. Milk 8. Cook 9. Apron 10. Tye 11. Up 12. Sky 13. Stars
Suzie’s House 352 : Don’t Ever Go Away Again
“Wait. Drew. Where are you going?” Drew paused with one foot already in the hall and the other still in Suzie’s room. The light from the hall spiked the darkness around him. She hadn’t bothered to turn the light on in the room when she’d gone into the hall to confront Gene, and Drew hadn’t bothered with it when he tucked her in. He glanced over his shoulder, knowing it was a dangerous thing to do. The slice of light […]
