Turn That Frown Upside Down

April 10, 2019

There were frowns all around. I suppose that was to be expected. After all, they lived in Frownsville. Had there been anything else, it would have created even more consternation and chaos. The day always started out in the usual manner. Morning aches and pains woke sleepers out of a restless rest. Groans and moans … More Turn That Frown Upside Down

My heart was pounding so fast I thought I would pass out. Sweaty palms. Dry mouth. Panting breath. Butterflies churning in my belly. I swear to God if there was cream in there it would turn to butter! Just what was it that had got me into this state of highly emotional turmoil? Backtrack to … More 1313 Hedgehog Lane, Nutsville

September 5, 2018

She stood on the edge of the cliff overlooking a vast expanse of blue green water. Below her, she could hear the pounding of the waves on the rocks far below. An ocean breeze stirred her tresses, tickling and teasing her face. Lifting her arms up high up to reach for the sun, she took … More When I Grow Up….
