Great stuff, Alan - OMG, Chris is a redhead like Deb - who knew? ( well, maybe you told me and I forgot, lol) Beautiful family, my friend.

ha ha, thanks Alan :)

witless? I doubt that, Alan - But I already have a title and a few plot leads so that's a good start - it's the trigger that gets the ball rolling . and you provided that

still praying for opportunities for you, Creatr - we're all good - Thanks for asking :)

ha ha, I agree....Actually, you gave me inspiration for a new story, Alan - Thanks!

thanks, Alan

Hi Creatr! Thanks, I like to do what makes me happy, regardless of response or reward - but I am glad to hear from you, my friend - that always makes me happy :)

An interesting post, @slowwalker Did you consider it might have been an old Christian church and the names were the church members who found salvation by being baptized there? The dust on the floorboards

Deb asked me today if I knew the term, 'dry drunk' - I think she's alluding to the fact I don't get blotto any more but I'm still addicted - Personally, I think I'm addicted to her :)

hmm...your second memes seem to appeal to me today - I hope it doesn't appeal to Deb though - I've done enough for her to at least consider skimming the book for tips :)

we have a tree near us we call the shoe tree - folks hang their old sneakers on it like ornaments...but trucks? How did they 'pick up' the vehicle? LOL!!

Thank you!

Thank you - it contains an allusion to TS Eliot's Prufrock - are you familiar with it? You might enjoy reading it. Thanks again for your encouragement :)

Thank you!

there ya go! If I didn't move so many times, I'd probably be finding stuff too - that's one test if anything's good - if it still speaks to you, then it's survived the test of time and is worth sharing

thank you

was wondering when you'd get around to incorporating your art into your posts - for those who wonder, it's like Leonard Cohen said, the poetry and the songs are all one - as for old guy and his comment

Thank you!

Thanks

Thanks, Deb :)
