This is the way I like to write.....when I have time. In my documents folder are lots of snippets, one-liners to someday trigger my memory into stories for the grandkids.

Past and present are already interwoven. There's a gravestone in a colonial cemetery in Savannah that indicates that both wives of one husband are buried under the same elaborate angel statue marker, but the husband isn't buried in there, at least not within sight of their marker. Thanks for the great mini-story. Hope we see more of it.<br /><br />Lynne in GAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-10363495701399302582011-11-29T08:06:08.029-05:002011-11-29T08:06:08.029-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.vacuum cleanerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720512750077564762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-37489127685348608622011-11-28T16:19:06.438-05:002011-11-28T16:19:06.438-05:00Loved it-cause I could so relate to it ALL : )

Reminds me a bit of the stories that would start running through my head when I looked at the illustrations in the Mysteries of Harris Burdick (?) by Chris Van Allsburg. I probably butchered that title. But do you know the one? I have always been intrigued with the illustrations and the stories that they ignite in my mind.

And in those trees were two old yellow and rusting school busses. We would wander there and look at them, but never never broke through the barrier of fear to actually climb inside one.
