Cow Patty Win
"Are you ready?" Bobbie asked. This was their first date. Bobbie couldn't believe Lena had agreed to go out with him. He had asked her to go to the county fair with him. He figured the rides, games, animals, and food would be comfortable enough for the two to get to know each other better.

Near Death by Chocolate
Suzi lay quietly in the bed that had been given for her use. The darkness of the night was like a warm blanket on her soul. Unlike many small children who are afraid of the dark, Suzi loved night time. She missed Mama terribly, and at night, she could think about mama without interruption. Maybe she loved night time because when mama was still around, she would come home from work and they would make dinner together and then do the dishes together and then they would sit together on the porch swing and watch the night.

Luna Day
Luna sits in front of the vanity table mirror with a selection of make-up messily laid out in front of her. Pinks. Blues. Yellows. Some may consider it make-up fit for a clown but Luna sees it as fit for a Queen. Applying a full-face of make-up each morning has become part of her new morning routine during Covid. Just after she has breakfast—always weetabix with a side of orange juice—and before she begins her work. Sometimes she takes part in a Zoom call for which she is always insistent about looking presentable. Out of curiosity I ask her why she has started to incorporate this daily make-up routine during lockdown, and her reply is simply, “because you used to always do it, mama."

Origin of Antique Chairs
The antique chairs have not always been popular. The lower and middling classes sat on benches and stools throughout the mediaeval era and before. The chair did not become a symbol of high rank or privilege until the Renaissance in Europe, when it became a common piece of furniture for the expanding middle class. With the "luxury" associated with the chair removed, it quickly became popular across Europe, and it quickly became a symbol of the time's trends.

The Best Things Come in Three's
In my life I am blessed to have three strong, loving women who have each played the motherly role in my life. They are very different from one another but each of them serves a very specific purpose in my life. One of them is still here on the Earthly plane but the other two have transitioned beyond the confines of this word. Those two, I still feel around me every day. Especially on those days when I am struggling the most.
