Suzie’s House 67 : On Our Side, Sort Of
Previously in Suzie’s House, Vin, Suzie, and Miranda followed Christina to a quiet neighborhood behind Woodman’s then watched her enter the house of a man Vin knows. Miranda stifled a giggle as she closed her car door. Clearly she didn’t take this operation very seriously. “Shhhhh!” Suzie hissed, her expression solemn. To Vin’s mixed horror and amazement, the two women dashed to the nearest tree and peeked around like a couple of kids playing hide and seek. If Christina didn’t […]

By Geroge! What More Can Edward Do?
As if turning his solider’s quarters into a place for his mistress wasn’t enough, Prince Edward had to go throwing his weight around. We continue with Mr. Al’s take on the brothers of George IV. His Majesty was not pleased when the press reported the arrival of Prince Edward’s ladyfriend. He was also distraught to learn the that the Royal Fusiliers of Gibraltar had, to a man – NCO’s and enlisted men – mutinied against their commanding officer. […]
Lock Down
I happened to be in a grade school recently when a practice lock down was ordered. At first I didn’t know what was happening. One minute I was passing out juice, the next the teacher had locked the door and turned off the lights. All the kids piled into a corner and sat down. Even I was expected to sit on the floor making as little noise as possible.We remained like that for half an hour. I timed it because […]

Crunchy Blue Invader
The boy created and named this one. Place one marshmallow in a microwave-safe bowl. A Pyrex custard cup works well. Sprinkle Blue Crystal Decors under and over the marshmallow. Heat in microwave on high for aprox 10 seconds. The marshmallow should be slightly puffy. Add more decors. Heat for additional seconds until marshmallow spreads. Add decors. Heat until marshmallow is beating like a blob with a heart. Add more decors. This process should take no more than two minutes. Keep […]

Suzie’s House 66: Little Red Corvette
“Would you two cut that out?!” Suzie tried to swat at Vin and Miranda, but the bulk of the front seats hampered her and then the light changed. Cars behind her honked, and Christina’s little red corvette disappeared in heavy traffic. Miranda giggled. In the rear view mirror, Suzie could see her put a hand over her mouth and Vin smirk. It was like playing chauffeur to a couple of teenagers. The thought brought a pang of regret. It could […]
Thursday Thirteen #26:Gross Things
Thursday 13 has started to do themes. I’m not sure how well I’ll do with this. I’ve already missed a couple of them, and may intentionally skip a couple. For May 9th it’s “Gross” as in the number 144 or any other definition of gross. You’ll have to excuse me if I get a little icky here. 13 Gross things in my life. 1. Something in the upstairs bathtub. It seems to be some sort of wet fabric stuffed into […]
By George! Prince Edward Won’t Have It!
It seems the royal brothers have a lot in common with George IV. When sent to a fine, upstanding community, what does Edward do? You’ll have to see for yourself. Sometime in 1790, Edward gave his “bearkeepers”, as he called them, the slip and went AWOL to England. Had he been a common soldier, he surely would have been hanged. Desertion in a time of war was a hanging offense in almost all armies well into the 20th century. […]
The Shoes Have It
Ever wonder what is in the soles of your shoes? When I was in high school I had a pair of high heels I adored. They were smart, made me look good, and relatively comfortable. Being the extraordinary packrat I am, I kept them. For years. A lot of years. In the process of dealing with some of the junk around the house I ran across these old shoes. The girl, being almost 11, adores high heels. When she saw […]
