The Prom Dress
Mrs. Forbes strolled down the aisle between two rows of sewing machines where her busy students were mastering the art of straight stitches. Stopping by the enamel cutting table, she ran the back of her hand over pink marbled satin. The afternoon sun flooding the home-economics classroom added shimmering elegance to the fabric. “A thing [...]

Clean as a Whistle
“Clean as a whistle,’ the slim, dapper senior in the aisle seat touched the top of my baby’s head. “Taking the tyke to see his grandparents?” “No,” I said. “My husband was in Afghanistan but he’s coming home for a visit to Camp David.” “Isn’t that where presidents hide out when the going gets tough?” [...]

Sylvester’s Trauma
He hated to leave Florida, the dogs, and the warm weather to trek through hostile airports only to spend time with her folks in Minnesota for Christmas. But what’s a guy to do. It wasn’t like he could claim they needed to start their own Christmas traditions. No children romped on their carpets—only dogs. They’d [...]

Under a Muffled Sun
A poem I wrote about my recent vacation Woods are so inviting. Clefts in the hills beckon. Moss yellowed limbs long to be touched. Curving bright streams wend their way without me.
