The Plot Thickens...
Today is Thursday. On Monday of this week, as I was walking to my 85 year old friend's house for our morning cup of coffee and allotment of local gossip, I met an attractive young lady standing by her car.
"Is this your house...may I park here?" she asked politely.
"Sure!" I replied. "Headed to work?"
She assured me that was exactly what she was doing, and we went our separate ways. She left out a detail: she intended to park there for days! That wasn't so bad. However, originally, I failed to notice she left very little room for any visitors who might stop by to see us. Again, I admit, I had made the mistake of of assuming ( yeah yeah yeah...I know...assuming) she was there for the day.
Here's the fun part...really. Choosing to leave a note requesting she not park there so long the "next time," and not wanting to seem unfriendly, I put the note and a brand-new copy of my novel ONE ACT OF KINDNESS (is that appropriate or what?) inside a Ziploc bag and placed it under her wiper. Too, I autographed it and left in a friendly inscription.
While we were not looking, she finally returned this morning. Let's see what happens! To be continued?

Rabbit Trails II
My dear friend Kathy R- is from GA. She taught me that her family labels stories "rabbit trails" if they ramble on before getting to their point. In fact, I asked Kathy's permission to use the family
My dear friend Kathy R- is from GA. She taught me that her family labels stories "rabbit trails" if they ramble on before getting to their point. In fact, I asked Kathy's permission to use the family label as my title for my 2nd book. As Life brings issues or special moments to my door, I often share them.
Via Rabbit Trails II I will occasionally do just that: share. I invite you to "share" your reactions or additions.
Why "Rabbit Trails II" ? Because Rabbit Trails 1 already exists on Facebook. It is a "private group" of 1200+ members where I do the exact same thing, but Facebook permits me to post photos and videos as well. I have yet to learn whether or not that's possible here. If you would like me to let you be part of our Rabbit Trails 1 group, just contact me on Facebook! ...more
