Vacation

It was early summer and my son, Ben, and daughter, Rachel, were spending a weekend with my parents. The weather was nice, not too hot yet. David and I decided to get away too. We booked a place down in Monterey for Friday and Saturday night; we planned to return on Sunday morning before my mom dropped off the kids. […]

Twelve Roses Of Christmas

As promised, I have planned a scavenger hunt for you. It is kind of based on the “12 Days of Christmas. Only I am calling it the “12 Roses of Christmas”. With this letter you found a single red rose- just one of a dozen. It is your challenge to collect the others based on the instructions you get at […]

Twenty Four Hours

Getting out of the shower, I watched him on the bed leaning up on one elblow, totally naked with that wanting smile on his face. He looked back at me and he did not have to say anything as his fingers slowly massaged his hardness. A gestured silent invitation of what he wanted.

Two Daughters

My daughter, Elise parked her brand new car in the parking lot, entered the restaurant and sat in front of me. I had to ruefully agree that she looked great in her new clothes. She looked around, spotted me and walked to my table, kissed me in the cheek and sat in front of me. “Hi, Dad,” she said, her […]

Two Friends

Her straight blond hair cascaded around her pale neck as she shook her hair and smiled at him, her deep soulful eyes captured his as her pink lips curved into a soft smile. She sipped on her sweet iced tea and placed the clear plastic cup down onto the restaurant table. They had talked nearly non stop from the time […]

Two Girls, One Cupid

It was another miserable Saturday night all alone for Marcie and Rachael. They had gone out to a few clubs the night before in their ever-hopeful quest to find a nice man or two, but like nearly all of their recent attempts to find love and or companionship it had come to naught… as usual. Alone and depressed, the two […]

Two Gifts in One

Just like a child, Sarah woke up early on Christmas Day. Although she was 24, the same excitement tingled through her veins. Her boyfriend had hinted at a very special gift — she just knew he was going to propose — she just knew it. In anticipation of their special romantic time together, Sarah had gone all out cleaning and […]

Linda and Richard

“I don’t know about this.” She murmured as she let out a shaky sigh. Linda was sitting at her desk, her hands twirling on the cord of her phone as she spoke to her dearest friend. She was the manager of a printing press, and having worked at the company for a few decades, she managed to acquire one of […]

The Cabin

Thousands of stars twinkle in the pitch black sky. The lantern burns next to us, casting our bodies in a faint light. Crickets chirp, as the water from the river rushes over the rocks. Laying on the blanket we stare at the night sky. Drinking in all of it’s beauty. Your head nestled onto my chest as a shooting star […]

Four Summers

Everything, it seemed, happened to me in the summer. Bad things and good things. Sometimes I was glad when fall came along, signaling summer had finally left us for good. And sometimes I wanted the summer to go on forever…
