A Cicatrical Reminder  ll

“Suffice it to say, creating a quilt is like baking different biscuits shoulder to shoulder in a pan.”

“Really?”  Though not listening. Will knew he should respond. 

Will’s acknowledgement sounded hollow to Beatrice.  She turned.  Will was totally engrossed in a repeat soccer game from five years ago.  He had tuned out the here and now in the first half.

Smiling now, Beatrice considered revenge.  Her eyes searched the tools in her quilting basket. 

“You know what they say about dialog?”

“Uh, No dear.”

“It takes two people to have one.” 

The quilting ruler found its mark.

And Will jumped.

Story involving pizza

Corona Dreams

Back in Maryland after being gone ten years, what he missed most was the food that had comforted him as a child.  The friend he had come to see asked, "So what do you want to do first?"

"I want Ledo's pizza. I don't want take out.  I want to sit in the joint and eat it.

“You got it”, his friend said, “Ledos, here we come”.

Sipping beer and catching up, his mind was more about the pizza than the conversation.  He saw a waiter headed their direction……..

“Hey, wake up.  The kids want frozen pizza for dinner.”
