"which one do YOU like?"

Mama's Losin' It

It happened on a motorcycle

I went on a date with Shane, 
who my college roommate, Becky, 
had called ‘dibs’ on the first day of class…
But it didn’t count… if she had a boyfriend??? ? riGHt??? ?

He was the football player type _ the tan, cute .. .Buff guy in the corner.
I had my eye on another _ the quiet reserved one who was studying to be a pastor.
Turns out the football motorcyler, Shane, asked me out weeks later.

One ride on his motorcyle and I knew he wasn’t for me.
avoided him @ Wilbur’s Cafe next time I ran into him.

Wwhaatt was I thinking? .. .
I quite enjoyed the ride.

the two of us

This is my first time participating in
Mama's Losin' It

kind of ironic since I plan Writing Workshop lessons 
for my students every day during the year. 
I'm on the opposite side of the desk now.

Writing Prompt #4 i chose.. .
Post a picture and a description that fits into this quote for you: 
"How far to heaven? Just open your eyes and look. You are in heaven" -Shankar

Absolutely anywhere with my sister.

Could be... eyes glaze over boring _ with her  _ it will surely become hysterical. 
Guaranteed silliness. 

for sure good food.. . even if we need to scrounge the corners of the cupboards. 
and endless loving _ i will hug upon every inch of her. 








{My sister surprised us all last year. appeared at my classroom door while i was teaching; my parents' house during the day, catching my mom off guard. At least, we got my dad on tape here as record of all her surprise efforts. .. }








.. all old photos from Martha's Vineyard summering .. 
.wait a month or so for a slideshow of our new venturings.
the countdown has begun.
